This sculptural casino building joins with the office block behind it (designed by AGS) in a close-knit composition. The casino consists of two portions; an oval gaming house with sloping glazed facades that rise outwards, and an elongated services block nestling against it. The interior of the casino proper is a festively coloured free-form composition of curves, in which spaces spiral up across various levels by way of an amusement arcade and along a string of gaming rooms to the restaurant at the top. The casino has since relocated to the Chassé site.
