Jean Nouvel Wins Approval for Leaning "Tours Duo" Project in Paris

• Written by Karissa Rosenfield
• Published on September 25, 2015

Jean Nouvel has won approval for "Tours DUO" in Paris . The mixed-use project, planned to rise on a former industrial site on the edge of the Seine in the Paris Rive Gauche district, aims to become a "top business real estate destination" and neighborhood amenity. Its two towers will house an eight-story hotel, office space, retail, a top floor restaurant-bar, gardens and green terraces, as well as a "renewed access" to the Seine.

Leaning to form an asymmetrical "V," DUO 1 will rise 180 meters and 39 stories; DUO 2 will be 122 meters and 27 stories tall. Both are expected to achieve "exceptional energy performance" with LEED® Platinum, HQE® and Effinergie+ certifications.

Nouvel was originally commissioned the project by winning an international competition. He is expected to break ground on Tours DUO in 2016, and complete it in 2020.

Jean Nouvel’s twin angled Tours Duo skyscrapers open in Paris adding a bold, unsettling silhouette to the skyline visible from the River Seine, the Périphérique and other landmarks

Paris, France

“Eastern Paris is slowly coming into focus, building up and taking form, completing and modifying an unfinished context,” states Jean Nouvel.

“This project is about building its summit, its culminating point for the beginning of the century. It is also about creating a character, a singularity that is in relation with the reality of the site, that reveals its particular beauty, that relies on it to invent and strengthen the attractiveness of the place.”

Jean Nouvel and his design team at Ateliers Jean Nouvel have completed the Tours Duo–two leaning skyscrapers designed as an immediate landmark in eastern Paris for developers SEMAPA, Hines, Ivanhoé Cambridge, and Natixis Assurances.

The project features a pair of colossal towers containing 97,000 square meters of office space and a 139-room hotel with interiors designed by French designer Philippe Starck.

Built alongside the Périphérique ring road and a large railway siding, the pair of skyscrapers both bend away from a central plaza.

A true continuum between the cities of Paris and Ivry, they create a new urban landmark for one of the major districts of Greater Paris. 

The towers rise above the Paris ring road at the entrance to the Bruneseau neighborhood in the 13th arrondissement, close to leading universities, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, and the Station F start-up campus. 

At 180 meters high, Tour Duo 1 is the second tallest skyscraper in Paris after the Tour Montparnasse. 

The 39-story building contains offices on its upper levels with an auditorium and shops on its ground floor.

The 29-story neighboring tower contains office space along with a hotel on its upper floors. It is topped with a restaurant and bar that has a terrace with views across Paris.

According to Nouvel, this project is about building a summit, a culminating point for the beginning of the century in the City of Paris.

It is also about creating a character, a singularity that is in relation with the reality of the site, that reveals its particular beauty, that relies on it to invent and strengthen the attractiveness of the place.

Three parameters were taken into account by Nouvel to orient the project: 

The perspective of the Avenue de France; the location adjacent to the river of rails that lead into the heart of the city; the location adjacent to the Paris ring boulevard, from which the project can be seen as an identifying landmark.

The site does not have landmark status in the perspective of the Avenue de France. 

It is not visible from the sidewalk of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. 

A slight inclination easily made the towers come into view while enabling the architectss to play a game with the reflections of the railway landscape in the south façade, which would be very visible from the ring boulevard and the boulevard du Général Jean-Simon. 

Placing the tower nearer the ring boulevard increased its presence in the perspective of the Avenue de France. 

It became most expressive when placed directly adjacent to the ring boulevard, its inclination giving a very visible dynamic seen from the boulevard. 

The consequence of positioning the first tower in this way is that the second tower is then situated along the boulevard du Général Jean-Simon. 

In this position it became more urban, more human. It can have shops at ground level, accessible terraces, and operable windows shielded from the sound and dust pollution of the ring boulevard.

The essential principle of the urban program—the transverse fracture and the creation of a central plaza between the two buildings that preserves views toward the Berliet industrial building—is respected and accentuated by the inclined buildings which cooperate to form an open “V” of sunlight.

These are urban buildings; at ground level, the public balcony overlooking the railway faces Ivry; along its edge is a large brasserie with a terrace. 

The terrace gives access to the hotel and the office tower and accommodates shops in the form of kiosks that rhythm the large space at the intersection of the avenue de France and the boulevard du Général Jean-Simon.

These two buildings aim at increasing the pleasure of being in this place. 

They seek out views and accommodate vegetation on their terraces. 

The hotel offers a panoramic restaurant and a large roof-covered terrace facing the Seine and historic Paris. 

The summit of the office tower features a panoramic meeting space as part of the development program. 

The tall buildings of past decades are headless; their roof terraces are not accessible. ” By contrast, Nouvel proposed a summit and even two summits. 

A summit has a head and an identifiable profile. 

That is why the heads of these two actors are expressive and alive, and why they speak to one another and also to their friendly neighbors.

Where are the best places to see Art Nouveau architecture in Paris ?

Get fresh travel ideas each month –  join my mailing list

On my last trip to Paris , I got a chance to explore some of the best examples of Art Nouveau architecture in the city.

Paris has a great collection of flamboyant and whimsical Art Nouveau buildings.

These Art Nouveau buildings are quite unique in the general landscape of Parisian architecture.

In this guide you’ll find:

• The history of Art Nouveau architecture in Paris
• The most famous Art Nouveau buildings in Paris
• The most celebrated Art Nouveau architects
• Two easy self-guided walks in the districts of Paris where you can see plenty of Art Nouveau gems. Get a map of the self-guided walks .

A brief history of 19th-century parisian architecture

As you walk around Paris you will notice that most buildings are designed in a uniform style, also known as the Haussmannian style.

Georges-Eugène Haussmann was the urban planner who, back in the 19th century, redesigned the city of Paris and is very much responsible for the way many parts of the city look to this day.

Paris used to have narrow streets with little light or air. Haussmann’s vision for the city was of wide streets and boulevards, parks, squares and large and elegant modern buildings.

The beige stone facades with wrought iron balconies and chimneys on every rooftop you can see all around in Paris are the trademarks of the Haussmannian style.

Strict regulations were put in place to ensure the uniformity of these exteriors.

However, around 1880 there was a need for change, and the local government encouraged that change through competition for the most beautiful facade and by relaxing the uniformity rules.

That was when new designs started to appear. Thischange coincided with the emergence of Art Nouveau in Europe, and architects experienced a burst of creativity, resulting in hundreds of buildings in the Art Nouveau style.

The two most notable Art Nouveau architects in Paris were Hector Guimard and Jules Lavirotte. Many of the city’s best Art Nouveau examples carry their signatures.

What is Art Nouveau architecture?

At the turn of the 20th century, the movement known as Art Nouveau was born in various places in Europe and soon spread across the ocean as well.

The most typical elements of the Art Nouveau style are fluid, whiplash curves, creative ironwork and elaborate decorations inspired by nature.

Some Art Nouveau buildings also feature stucco decorations, stained glass windows and intentional asymmetry.

Here’s a great video about the history of Art Nouveau:

Famous art nouveau buildings in paris

Before we start our self-guided walks, here are some of the most famous Art Nouveau buildings in Paris worth seeing while you’re visiting the city.

Galeries lafayette haussmann

This upmarket department store has the most magnificent dome.

Walk inside the Coupole building of Galeries Lafayette Haussmann to see it in the great hall and climb up to the upper floors for even more stunning views.

This ceiling dates back to 1912. It was designed and decorated in the Art Nouveau style of that era by Édouard Schenck, Jacques Grüber and Louis Majorelle.

It is worth a visit, even if you’re not planning to go shopping. It’s also right next to the opera house (Palais Garnier), which I also recommend you visit while you’re in Paris.

Address: 40 Bd Haussmann, 75009 Paris

La samaritaine

Another very impressive department store in Paris that’s worth a visit is La Samaritaine.

The magical glass roof, the gorgeous staircase and the delightful wall painting on the top floor, all make it a true architectural gem.

You want to climb up to the 5th floor for the best view. When I took the elevator going up, everyone else in the elevator was holding a camera too…

La Samaritaine was designed by architect Frantz Jourdain and is listed as a historical monument.

It is in a very central location, by the Seine river, close to Pont Neuf and Rue de Rivoli.

Address: 9 rue de la Monnaie 75001 Paris

Hotel elysees ceramic

The Ceramic Hotel close to the Arc de Triomphe is another unique Art Nouveau building in Paris.

This is a building by architect Jules Lavirotte from 1904 and it features the typical Art Nouveau characteristics we’ll see in the self-guided tours below.

It also features a pretty extraordinary use of ceramics throughout the facade, which gave the building its name.

Address: 34 Avenue de Wagram, Paris

Self-guided walks of art nouveau architecture in paris

Below are two short self-guided tours exploring Art Nouveau in Paris.

If you prefer a guided tour, this tour covers more locations with a professional guide.

These self-guided walks take you to two of the main hubs of Art Nouveau in Paris.

The buildings in each of these are all within walking distance of each other.

You can easily take both walks on the same day. The first part is in the 7th arrondissement (not far from the Eiffel Tower) and the second part is in the 16th arrondissement.

Lavirotte building – paris art nouveau gem and nearby buildings

The 7th arrondissement has some wonderful Parisian Art Nouveau architecture.

Lavirotte building (immeuble lavirotte)

The Lavirotte Building on 29 Av. Rapp is a richly decorated house and is a prime example of Art Nouveau architecture in Paris.

It’s asymmetrical, like many Art Nouveau buildings, and has faces, flowers, animals and various shapes creatively decorating its magnificent facade.

I took my time examining this facade and taking as many pictures as I could. While I was there at least 5 or 6 other people came by to do the same.

Art nouveau on rue sedillot

Sedillot street is a very short walk from Lavirotte Building. The entire street is full of beautiful buildings, but the one at number 12 Rue Sedillot stands out.

It is another building designed by Lavirotte, built in 1899. Today it is home to an Italian college called Leonardo Da Vinci.

It has all the trademark Art Nouveau characteristics that make it a great work of art: You’ll notice the asymmetrical design, the elegant curves and the use of iron railings. The decorations around the windows are especially exuberant.

Art nouveau on rue de grenelle

A short walk from Rue Sedillot is another Art Nouveau building worth exploring.

When you reach 151 Rue de Grenelle, you’ll see a beautifully elegant facade from 1898.

This house is slightly more modest compared to the other two we’ve seen so far. That’s probably because it was the first building by Lavirotte in Paris. However, his style became more elaborate fairly soon after that.

Art Nouveau is often described as whimsical and if you walk up to the wooden and wrought iron front door of this building, you’ll see it is decorated with two lizards on the door handles.

La maison des arums

The next stop on this part of the tour is at 33 Rue du Champ de Mars.

Architect Octave Raquin designed this gorgeous building in or around the year 1900.

Thanks to its elaborate carved stone floral decorations, it has been nicknamed the House of Lilies (La Maison des Arums)

Take your time appreciating all the graceful details of this facade.

Paris art nouveau architecture walk around rue jean de la fontaine

The second part of this Paris Art Nouveau tour takes place in the 16th arrondissement.

To reach the first stop, you can use public transport ( planner ) or walk for about 30 minutes from 33 Rue du Champ de Mars to 14 Rue Jean de la Fontaine.

Castel béranger

The first stop in this part of the tour is an iconic Parisian Art Nouveau building called Castel Béranger, on 14 Rue Jean de la Fontaine.

This is a creation by Hector Guimard, the architect also famous for designing the classic Paris metro station.

Completed in 1898, this building won a competition for the most beautiful facade in Paris and is now classified as a Historical Monument in France.

The Castel Béranger is probably its most prominent feature, but the entire facade has plenty of ornaments and details to observe.

Rue agar and café antoine

As you continue along you’ll reach Café Antoine on the corner of Rue Agar.

Rue Agar has a beautiful residential complex designed by architect Hector Guimard.

In 1911 it was named “Modern Street”, as the Art Nouveau design represented the spirit of the time.

You’ll notice some of the typical Art Nouveau features, like the iron balconies, the use of curves and elegantly decorated doors and windows all along this little street.

Café Antoine on the street corner is another authentic Art Nouveau gem designed by Guimard.

Immeuble trémois

Continue walking on rue Jean de la Fontaine till you reach Rue François Millet.

There at number 11, you’ll find the lovely curved facade of the Trémois building, another Art Nouveau residential house by Guimard.

Hôtel mezzara

Our next stop is another Guimard creation, at 60 Rue Jean de la Fontaine. You will easily recognise the Guimard style we saw on the previous stops on this tour.

Hôtel Mezzara dates back to 1910-1911 and was originally built as a family home for French textile industrialist Paul Mezzara.

The interior is also very beautiful, but unfortunately, it was closed when I visited. I later found out that the place is normally closed to the public. You can still see pictures of the interior online.

Hôtel jassedé

The last stop in this part of the tour is a bit farther away on 41 Rue Chardon Lagache.

Hôtel Jassedé is also a Guimard building, but you may not notice that right away.

This residential home from 1893 was one of his first works.

It is not a typical Art Nouveau building, though it already has some of the characteristics indicative of the architect’s future style, like the asymmetrical facade.

One of the remarkable things about this building is the liberty that the architect had in playing with various materials, including carved stone, ceramics and bricks.

This freedom is a sign of the post-Haussmann era, when Parisian facades no longer had to maintain a uniform appearance.

Right next to Hôtel Jassedé, you can see Villa de la Reunion, a private home with a more typical Art Nouveau design, also by Guimard.

Paris art nouveau guided tours

To see more Parisian Art Nouveau, you can take a guided tour with a professional guide. Here are some options:

Art Nouveau and Art Deco tour – This small group tour covers the 8th and 9th arrondissements near the opera.

Paris Art Nouveau Walking Tour – This is a good option if your prefer a private tour.

paul clemence photographs jean nouvel's leaning 'tours duo,' now complete in paris

Two leaning towers of paris.

Photographer Paul Clemence captures Tours Duo, designed by architect Jean Nouvel , following their completion in Paris . The two towers host a mixed-use program and rise above a former industrial site along the edge of the Seine in the French capital’s Rive Gauche district. Now standing as a ‘top business real estate destination,’ the work introduces an eight-story hotel designed by Philippe Starck, office space, retail, a top floor restaurant-bar, gardens and green terraces, as well as a new point of access to the river. The pair of towers are defined by their shifted posture, subtly shifted volumes, and rippling brise soleil system.

‘tours duo’ through the lens of paul clemence

With their leaning stance, Jean Nouvel‘s Tours Duo suggest an asymmetrical V. The taller of the two towers rises 180 meters (590 feet) and 39 stories while the other rises 122 meters (400 feet) and 27 stories. Paul Clemence captures the architecture with its dynamic, shifted profile and dynamic facade, following its completion in 2021. The architect crafts the towers with this unique expression, echoing that of SHoP Architects’ American Copper Buildings along New York City’s East River, which take shape with a similar gesture. 

architecture by Ateliers jean nouvel

The design team at Ateliers Jean Nouvel comments on its Tours Duo, and the spirit of the design: ‘ Eastern Paris is slowly coming into focus, building up and taking form, completing and modifying an unfinished context. This project is about building its summit, its culminating point for the beginning of the century. It is also about creating a character, a singularity that is in relation with the reality of the site, that reveals its particular beauty, that relies on it to invent and strengthen the attractiveness of the place .’

‘You can see me’

In today’s Paris skyline, there is only a single icon that stands at the 300-metre limit: Madame Eiffel.

Creating a second one is daunting… But it’s too good an opportunity to put Paris and its region back on the map of inventiveness in the urban world. It’s a matter of national salvation.

To do this, obviously, the new icon must aim to be as famous as its companion… a tall order!

No weak-kneed architect need apply! This is not the time to turn your brain off and come up with the umpteenth office tower…!

Eiffel spoke of the industrial revolution of the 19th century, of the myth of steel, of the conquest of the sky through structures that are like cobwebs.

So, let us speak of the visual revolution of the 21st century, of the myth of the alluring image, of the instantaneous digital image that informs us and fascinates us.

The Eiffel Tower has a small firmly planted head; the lighthouse tower will have a big head that turns.

It isn’t exactly clear what Madame Eiffel’s little dark head really is; it will be clear that the big head of the lighthouse tower turns the better to look at us but also the better to be seen.

Voyeur! Exhibitionist!

It’s a well-known conceptual game: ‘I can see you’ – ‘you can see me’.

Tower, tour – image / towers of images / image laps / magic images / outbursts / surprises / exposures / overexposures / furtive fleeting images / appearance and disappearance / images of the Île-de-France, of Paris / images of life here and now, of what’s happening here, of what’s going past and what’s going on here.

Tower, tour – revolution / revolutions / a little world turning imperceptibly / a nanoplanet… yet it turns, all right.

Popular and poetic connotations: the head turning on the body – is it humanoid? a robot?

The nanoplanet: a hidden microworld – to be discovered? – what about a microclimate?

Turning above Paris and the Île-de-France.

Being overflown by the slow silent revolutions.

In this way the lighthouse tower may well become as familiar as its ancestor, especially if we consider its political significance:

It clearly asserts its aim of addressing the whole city.

It symbolises the extension of Paris beyond its traditional borders.

It speaks to everyone, it speaks to them of their life, of the beauty of Paris and the Île-de-France.

It accentuates the west of Paris on the map, ‘centralises’ an urban terrain that stretches from Courbevoie to Puteaux, via Nanterre, Levallois and Neuilly…

It clearly signals through its attractiveness that La Défense is on the move and is about to become a centre that’s a great place to be, night and day.

It also says that our capital is still one of modernity’s high places and that its brand of modernity is different from the mute athletic brutality that characterises the new monuments of the global city of the 21st century.

Jour officiel pour le nouveau siège du Groupe BPCE

Dans l’Est parisien, les deux Tours imaginées par l'architecte Jean Nouvel, nouveau siège du Groupe BPCE, ont été inaugurées avec les parties prenantes qui ont œuvré à leur construction.

Cet événement marque une réalisation emblématique pour la ville de Paris et pour le Groupe BPCE, dans un 13 e arrondissement qui ne cesse de se transformer, depuis plus de trente ans, et dont l’histoire est intimement liée à celle du Groupe, qui l’a vu naître et se développer. 

Un peu plus de cinq ans après la première pelletée, le Groupe BPCE inaugure ainsi son nouveau siège et la nouvelle « maison commune » de ses marques et entreprises. Ces deux Tours sont avant tout une véritable prouesse architecturale : sorties de l’esprit de Jean Nouvel, asymétriques et pour l’une d’elles inclinée de 4,5 degrés, culminant à 122 mètres pour la tour Ouest et à 180 mètres de hauteur pour la tour Est (la plus haute de Paris après la tour Eiffel et la Tour Montparnasse), leur construction a nécessité de faire appel à de multiples corps de métiers (près de 1 000 ouvriers sur le chantier en moyenne) et des expertises alliant innovation et durabilité, tant dans la construction que dans l’aménagement et le fonctionnement des bâtiments – certifiés LEED Platinum, HQE Exceptionnel, Effinergie+ et WELL Platinum –. Pour les architectes et maîtres d’œuvre comme pour les investisseurs (le groupe immobilier Ivanhoé Cambridge et BPCE Assurances), le lieu a été pensé comme un ensemble mixte, ouvert sur la ville et les services, à commencer par le TOO Hôtel conçu par le groupe Taïeb, dans la partie haute de la tour Ouest.

Pour le Groupe BPCE, les Tours incarnent également une nouvelle vision du travail, qui associe nouveaux environnements et nouveaux modes de travail, hybrides, pour proposer aux collaborateurs une expérience optimale en termes d’efficacité, de bien-être et de responsabilité environnementale. Pour les 9 000 collaborateurs qui seront installés dans les Tours BPCE, à terme, en 2023, comme pour leurs collègues des autres sites du Groupe, c’est le début d’une nouvelle aventure, et pour l’Est parisien certainement un nouveau repère.
