Orange Cube, Contemporary architectural structure in 2nd arrondissement of Lyon, France
The Orange Cube features a rectangular shape with large circular voids carved into its metal mesh facade, creating dynamic interior spaces across six stories.
Completed in 2011, this building emerged from an initiative by Voies Naviguables de France to transform the former industrial harbor area into a modern district.
The structure houses the Cardinal Group headquarters and RBC design showroom, representing a shift from industrial heritage to contemporary commercial and cultural spaces.
The building spans 6,300 square meters, incorporating office platforms with balconies and a ground-floor showroom connected by an intricate system of corridors.
Two massive circular holes penetrate the orange metallic exterior, with the larger void forming an atrium that exposes internal floors and creates natural light paths.
