Text description provided by the architects. The plot for this project is situated on the corner of the Quai de Paludate and the Rue du Commerce, opposite the esplanade which runs along the Garonne, and between the MECA and Caisse d’Epargne buildings. The architectural treatment of the plot takes into account the scale of the square: the building rises up to the maximum height allowed and is topped with an attic. It appears as a series of office floors organised in strata. This horizontal decoupage allows the building to fade progressively into those of neighbouring plots. The building’s envelope plays on different levels of transparency, mixing lively horizontal lines with the translucent, vertical brise-soleils.
