The design intent of the project was to create an attractive, easy-to-access work space, which was also close-to-nature, the founding element of Cree culture. The building's volumes were originally designed to reflect the planned cohabitation between the Cree government and the Eeyou Marine Region, which is the tenant of the place. The space thus consists of two square volumes, each surmounted by a double-slope aluminum roof, meeting in the centre of the building. Inside the building, meeting spaces open onto a large cafeteria and reception area. The dividing line between the two roofs is visible in the structure inside the building and visually modulates the rhythm of the frame. Special attention has been paid to natural lighting (direct and indirect), in order to favor links and views from inside the building to the natural environment surrounding it.
