This building is remarkable for the dynamicity of its masses arranged both horizontally and vertically on the basis of 9.15 m square modules. Its almost 28,000 m 2 built up area is distributed in ten floors of gradually less surface as they go up from the first floor to the summit, creating an irregular stepped design providing numerous terraces, a rarity in this type of buildings. The ground level is the bank's public area and services, while the remaining levels are used for offices.
