                            TRANSPARENCY, MINIMALISM, SIMPLE VOLUMES. THE HUGE
                            GLASS FACADE OF LILLE’S CHAMBER OF TRADE AND CRAFT
                            BRINGS NEW LIFE TO AN ABANDONED INDUSTRIAL AREA.




                                             The building has a monolithic aspect which creates a
                                             radical, eye-catching outline. And yet there is plenty
                                             of subtlety in the perfect square which measures
                                             80m on each side with an overall height of 25m.
                                              The commanding windows on the first floor, outlined
                                                by aluminum frames,  create the effect  of depth
                                                 which in turn breaks up the severity of the space.
                                                   The end result is a building that emanates a
                                                     protective and reassuring atmosphere.
