This building is crossed by the Institutional Urban Axis. At this intersection there is a transitional space of urban quality, a large double-height atrium that organises the entrances to the building and reveals, thanks to the transparency of the enveloping skin, the spatial complexity that occurs inside.

The program is organised around two large voids that vertically cross the building. A first "open sky" void that provides overhead light and spatially enriches the large urban atrium, and a second interior void that pierces the work floors and organises the building's circulatory system.
