The project is T-shaped in section to create large projections at the front, on the avenue, and at the rear, overlooking the courtyard, with intermediate spaces and outdoor lobbies. It further transfers ground-floor uses to the first floor, so that only spaces for relation with public are situated at street level. Inside, the uses are laid out around a double-height central space that communicates the whole building. -- ArchDaily
