In the setting of an industrial plant, there was the need to offer accommodation to foreign workers and managers who would work in the factory for a relatively short period of time, as well as to authorities that would need to be hosted for brief visits. For this last category of guests, it was asked to provide rooms with independent access on the ground floor.

The resulting design, taking into account these constrains, focuses on the definition of a series of perimetral covered pathways that could serve both the general entrance and the authorities rooms accesses. Rather than adding external arcades or porticos to a simple volume, the proposal works with the geometrical shape of the building itself by gradually enlarging the floors size from ground to top. The inverted ziggurat shape hides in itself a central full height atrium that serves both as circulation core and communal space for the guests.
