heroal VS Z OR

As vertical blinds, the zip-guided sun protection system heroal VS Z OR is ideally suited to be combined with the patio roof system heroal OR, in order to provide protection against wind and weather as well as sun glare, but also against cool temperatures on chilly evenings in spring or autumn.

Pointe à Pitre Palace of Justice

Traditionally large and thick as if to express force and power, the walls of the Courthouse in Pointe-à-Pitre evoke openness and transparency. In this way, the building challenges the ice-cold popular image of courts with an apparent warmth, an immediate readability of its forms, and a liberation from the authoritarian codes of judicial architecture.   Built in continuity with the urban fabric and the principal alignments of the city, the Courthouse adapts to its relationship with other buildings in Pointe-à-Pitre. The colours used in the project come from the chromatic environment of Pointe-à- Pitre and in particular from the Prefecture building that faces it, while the varying light reflecting from the aluminum...
