Affectionately called the ?ski boot,? the Tour du Crédit Lyonnaise office tower in Lille, France, undoubtedly makes a strong architectural statement.
It's perhaps the best-known building by Christian de Portzamparc, who won the Pritzker Prize in 1994.
Clad in stone, glass, and metal, the tower rises loftily from the Euralille commercial complex and is said to symbolize the city's renaissance.
Seen in virtually every window of this 20-story tower are aluminum blinds from Hunter Douglas Contract. The shades efficiently ensure privacy and control daylight and glare, keeping workers from having to squint at computers or during meetings.
So, while the design is cheerful and light-filled, it?s also meant to enhance worker productivity ? something for which any business would certainly sign up.
