This new service centre was created for the housing organization of a chemical concern. The development comprises five office tracts docked against a linear strip that faces on to the road, providing an acoustic screen for the more sensitive areas to the rear. The facades of the strip are covered with a shiny white reflecting layer. On closer examination, this proves to consist of innumerable small glass tiles 5 x 5 cm in size, which were used here for the first time as a facade material.
