The international headquarters was designed while at SOM as a dynamic composition of three bars that slide past each other in order to express the core and the two main office galleries. The podium houses the lobby, a media centre, and a restaurant. The top executive floor has a double height ceiling that is expressed on the façade through a cut out. The building is clad in polished anodised aluminium and clear glass.
