We started from the red color, respecting its own brand signature, bringing a graphic composition from different shades of red creating a mosaic that unfolds along the three buildings, highlighting and enhancing the building presence. Solid aluminum panels placed on a metal frame fixed to the concrete block façade formed the mosaic.
