The building rises in front of a paint factory, which is located in an industrial zone facing a very busy main road. For its manufacturing purpose and the harsh setting, the building is meant as a colourful block standing on the asphalt surface. Openings have two different ways in which they relate to the coloured mass: they are row holes cut in the walls or shiny aluminium frames floating on matt colour. The inner spaces contrast with the outside playing with double-height spaces, smooth surfaces, transparency and predominance of white colour. The contrast play moves further outside in a few points, setting the row dark plaster against some glossy white stripes.
