The concept of the project provokes the image of a sculpture with its organic shape.
© STUDIO FUKSAS The structure of the building is in steel with a concrete substructure.
© STUDIO FUKSAS The skin that envelops the structure, both on the inside and on the outside, shows the honeycomb motive.

The 300,000 mq facade is made of metal panels and glass panels of different size that can be partially opened.

The spatial concept of interior is one of fluidity.
© STUDIO FUKSAS It combines two different ideas: the idea of movement and the idea of pause.
© STUDIO FUKSAS The honeycomb, developed in the suspended structure, is translated into the interior and quoted in different scales throughout the building.
© STUDIO FUKSAS
© STUDIO FUKSAS Retail boxes introduce the honeycomb idea in a bigger scale and will be repeated, in slightly different articulation, in the concourse.
© STUDIO FUKSAS In the most public and open spaces, the honeycomb can be found as a 3D imprint in the wall cover as well as in the suspended ceiling.
