Metropole Rouen Normandie Headquarters

The headquarters of Métropole Rouen Normandie is a unique, memorable and fitting image on the banks of the Seine in Rouen. What makes it so unique is how the new building fits in with the surrounding landscape of Rouen: its silhouette echoes the renovated industrial buildings on the right bank. The building is covered with fish-like ‘scales’ made of subtly coloured glass, reflecting the changing light of the Normandy sky and the water. The façade is a  contemporary interpretation of the chromatic variations in Claude Monet’s impressionist paintings of Rouen Cathedral.
