The commission involved designing a contemporary project for tertiary use where the past and the present blend, taking into account the history of the site, with an industrial heritage represented by the former warehouses of the Docks Rémois, converted into a business centre, and the fabric of workers' houses. The industrial function and its extensions have left the place, but its memory and certain walls have remained. Through gradual variation, stone and terra cotta act as the link from stone to brick via pixelisation of the façades.
