Cube Orange
The Cube Orange project comes from the Parisian studio Jakob+MacFarlane Architects and is part of the urban interventions of the old port of Lyon on the banks of the Saône , at a point called Confluence , because the Saône joins the Rhone right here.
This port area consisted of warehouses such as Sucrière, les Douanes, les Salins, the Capitainerie, which architects and landscape designers have reinterpreted to offer new sustainable spaces, avant-garde architecture and lots of greenery.
The Cube Orange is built on a regular grid (29 x 33 m) of concrete pillars on 5 levels. It has a light façade overlaid with another perforated façade with pixelated patterns that reflect the movement of the river. The orange colour is symbolic of red lead paint, an industrial colour used for port areas.
