A transparent double glass façade is the hallmark of the design for Olympic House. Comprising a straight inner layer and a curving, faceted outer layer, the result is a dynamic form that evokes the movement of an Olympic athlete. By optimizing the 'façade to floor plate' ratio and creating a fully glazed façade from floor to ceiling, 3XN's design draws daylight deep into the building. The inner layer features an integrated sunscreen, which enables the outer layer to maintain its fully glazed and transparent appearance.

The new headquarters of the International Olympic Committee will bring together 600 employees, currently working in disparate offices throughout the city, and is expected to be inaugurated in early 2019.
