Spanning 23 floors in a 77-meter-high building, Les Damiers du Dauphiné offers 224 apartments. It is part of the Damiers complex, which comprises 640 housing units spread across four buildings: Damiers d'Anjou, Damiers de Bretagne, Damiers de Champagne, and Damiers de Dauphiné. Although they vary in size, they are all designed according to the same plan: the stepped layout typical of the 1910s, which made a strong comeback in the 1960s thanks to the lifting of restrictions.

The problem of densification is solved by the installation of an exclusively pedestrian slab that conceals a parking lot with nearly 2,400 spaces. The pyramid-shaped volumes facilitate natural lighting down to the lower levels reserved for local shops. The 25,000 m² of facades are decorated with prefabricated concrete panels with a circular recessed and relief pattern.

Comrades from the Zavaroni workshop at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Jacques Binoux and Michel Folliasson joined forces in 1960. Their agency quickly became one of the leading firms in France, designing large-scale facilities as well as housing and offices. The duo was notably responsible for the Paris-Pleyel business center in Saint-Denis.

Originally from Istanbul, Abro Kandjian founded his agency in 1936. One of the most prolific architects in post-war Paris, he became a naturalized citizen in 1942, the year his son was born, with whom he went into partnership in 1970.

The four architects designed a large part of the Quartier des Saisons district, including the Allianz-Neptune tower, Les Damiers, the Citadines residences, Fraser Suites Harmonie, and the Ibis and Novotel hotels.
