Three ribbons of concrete that vary in shape and texture define the building. Their juxtaposition delineates the different zones of the building: entry, storage and back of house facilities. The upper ribbon is made of prefabricated concrete panels with a regular grid of glass bricks. It creates a nine-meter high cavity of varying width that contains the buildings services and technicalaccess. Fluorescent lights with colour filters within, will allow the buildings temperament to continually change in the evenings.
