Designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte for BNP Paribas Real Estate, the building is located on the edge of the large public space of Place Nelson Mandela. This 15,000 m² program on seven floors is HQE certified (Excellent level).

The complex geometry of the site and the difference in elevation led to the design of a compact building that maximizes the site's capacity and respects neighboring projects.

The building's volume takes the form of a metal monolith separated from its base by a transparent strip running across the entire surface of the ground floor. The facades play a key role in the project's environmental management. A surface treatment on the glass provides a solar filter effect. The architect sculpted the building in relation to the floor space in order to let this light through. Another distinctive feature is the creation of a “green waterfall” on the roof of the building on the north facade.

A monumental walkway, financed by Paris La Défense, has been built at the foot of the building, allowing everyone, including people with reduced mobility, to access the Provinces Françaises district.

Delivered in April 2012, the building was awarded prizes by the Federation of Real Estate Developers in 2012: Best Office Program in the Ile-de-France region, Pyramide de Vermeil and Pyramide d'Argent in the “Commercial Real Estate Award” category.

Jean-Michel Wilmotte founded his architecture firm in Paris in 1975. He specialized in five areas: architecture, interior design, museography, urban planning, and design. Over the years, as the firm's business grew, Jean-Michel Wilmotte developed two companies: the architecture firm Wilmotte & Associés and the design studio Wilmotte & Industries SAS. The firm works on a wide range of projects each year, from housing construction to office buildings, restaurants, museums, and hotels.
