A steel structure, combined with corrugated and painted steel external cladding, was the natural choice for a headquarters building for a company that is part of a steel construction group. The materials also lent themselves to an accelerated process of construction, which ran for six months from June to December 2000. The arrangement of spaces is based on a modular system, with service areas at the core of the construction. Besides offices, the building provides quality control laboratories and meeting rooms.
