La Defense is an office building for the IRS (Belastingdienst) and the Centre for Work and Income (CWI) that doesn’t look like much on the outside, but is a magical feast of color, light and reflection on the inside. Inside the building is a public space that is an oasis of changing colors. The façades are covered in a special foil that changes color depending on light conditions and the position of the viewer. It’s a meditative space with benches that invite you to just sit and enjoy the spatial qualities. It’s one of the most spectacular public spaces I ever saw.
