La Pyramide

Outline
It is a complex of 15 floors above ground and three floors below, consisting of commercial, office, and residential buildings, built by Italian architect Rinaldo Oliveiri. The symbolic triangular pyramidal volume is set against an irregularly triangular site, with the top floor occupied by luxury apartments and a restaurant. While Brutalist influences can be felt, climate considerations, such as the aluminum breeze soleil, also contribute to the building's individuality.
