This structure enables a maximal flexibility in terms of interior layout. It ensures also an optimal visual permeability (indoor outdoor connectivity) towards the suspended gardens of the balconies in foreground and the urban panorama on the background. Each floor presents a storey structurally made with Vierendeel beams system behind glass and terracotta panels facades.
