The project was designed to achieve High Environmental Quality certification. The building showcases the expertise of the firm and Bouygues’ sustainable development. The structure symbolizes the area’s ecological society by its glass, stone and metal exterior.

Because Bouygues was both the developer and contractor for this project, the delivery method applied was most similar to that of a traditional design build project in the United States.

Along the avenue, a monumental glass wall is modulated by the regular cadence of tall slender circular columns that march along the facade and act as oversized lanterns. Across from them, along the core, two curved surfaces, one in frosted glass and the other in black granite, meet at a midpoint. An exquisite two-level lobby receives visitors. This lobby stretches the entire length of the building. Grand stairs connect the two levels establishing a sculptural presence.

In form, the firm’s building design is a rectangular prism modified and sculpted by the introduction of two curves along its short facades. These curving surfaces transform the rigid rectangles into a fluid form. The result is a building with dynamic quality, implying horizontal movement along the axis of the avenue, as if sailing towards the esplanade propelled by an imaginary force.

Because Bouygues was both the developer and contractor for this project, the delivery method applied was most similar to that of a traditional design build project in the United States.

This building will be LEED Gold certified.
