The combination of solid and perforated JI Breva 27 profiles gives the buildings a unique contrast, thus demonstrating the architectural possibilities offered by the range of Joris Ide facades.

Stephanos was dreamt up by architect Christophe Rousselle, based on the same outline as another project built at Rennes, Equatoria. Its architectural style give the buildings a contemporary appearance.
