WHERE STYLE AND SUBSTANCE COME TOGETHER The characteristic parallelepiped shape with an extruded semi-cylinder in the centre is EQHO signature. The architect decision to incorporate this curve into the design brought lightness to the 140-metre-high complex and meant that 95% of workstations could benefit from natural light.

OPENNESS TAKES PRIORITY Openness is the central theme running through the design of EQHO: openness to light, to the city, to the gardens...openness to life.
