Bouygues Telecom Headquarters office complex consists of a 24-story tower and two 8-story buildings in a campus like setting.

The project is organized around the “power of a tower” located at the center of the composition. It rises in the same location as the existing EDF tower, yet expanding its footprint and height to maximize the volume within the permitted envelope.

The firm designed the elliptical form to give the structure direction and multiple frontalities. There is no front or back, yet its directional quality conveys movement from Issy to Paris, from the streets to the peripherique, from land to river. Its soft shaped edges avoid hard corners, implying a democratic space and certain sensuality in its relationship to the green landscape that surrounds the building at its base.

This development bridges the border of Paris and Issy Les Moulineaux, near the River Seine.

Because Bouygues was both the developer and contractor for this project, the delivery method applied was most similar to that of a traditional design build project in the United States.
