Designed by Jakob + MacFarlane, Le Cube Orange as architectural centre is located in Lyon, France. The historical French town of Lyon is slowly making a name for itself as home to some of the country’s most expressive and adventurous architecture, as five collaborating practices complete ‘The Monolith’, Patriarche & Co present commercial building ‘Genzyme’ and now Jakob + MacFarlane unveil ‘Le Cube Orange’ as part of a refreshing redevelopment project at Lyon Docks.
Undeniably arresting, ‘Le Cube Orange’ won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but its punctuated double-facade is making a strong architectural statement at a site where only generic warehouses once stood. Developed by Voies Naviguables de France (VNF) with Caisse des Dépôts and Sem Lyon Confluence, the 6,300 sq m commercial facility acts as the headquarters for real estate development firm Cardinal Group and as a Design Showroom for RBC.
