It is a 1,000 square metre two-storied structure that puts the focus on eco-friendly, architectural innovation.

The building succeeds in offering an exceptional level of comfort to its occupants through the mindful integration of a longitudinal form, orientation to the sun, light wood structure, meticulously selected materials and efficient systems, while producing a low ecological footprint.

High performance concrete siding combined with Eastern Cedar creates an impression that is both simple and dynamic, with attention given to the relationship between solids and voidsthat lend the building an air of elegance that belies both time and fashion.

From the first sketches, the designers sought to attain a high level of sustainability– a principle already at the heart of the firm’s priorities. With this objective in mind, comfort, simplicity and coherence were selected as founding principles.

STGM’s new offices comprise two vast open-area workshops, closed offices, conference rooms, and indoor and outdoor meeting and rest areas. The longitudinal form, developed north-south, is sober and contemporary. The building integrates innovation and a host of eco-friendly features in view of attaining the highest level of sustainable building certification.
