Deze studie dateert van 2007 en is wellicht niet meer actueel, maar geeft een vrij interessante aanblik naar wat mogelijk in de toekomst kan aansluiten bij heel de cluster Pacheco en hoe die dan dichter connecteert bij de cluster Noordwijk.

This forty-story tower, along with the recently renovated Ministry of Finance tower, marks the entrance to the Brussels Pentagon from the Boulevard Pacheco.
The standard plan of each floor is organized on a grid of 3 x 5 modules, each 15 meter deep.
The central modules contain the principal vertical circulations. The two adjacent modules are voids providing aeration and daylighting to every space.
This plan is repeated from story to story and is inverted every fourth story. This generates an ensemble of airy atriums completed by angular volumes of the same height that punctuate the facade in a zigzag pattern.
The facades are composed of large black photovoltaic solid panels regularly pierced by windows, and by large glass panels supported on a skeleton of oblique columns set out in losange patterns.
The structural tube composed by the solid panels and the oblique columns provides the wind bracing.
