Architects Atelier Jean Nouvel have won a design competition to revitalize Paris’ La Défense with their Tour Signal project, edging out other famous names like Foster + Partners, Daniel Libeskind, Jacques Ferrier Architectures and Wilmotte et Associés SA.

The 71-storey building will be divided into four sections, each stacked on top of the other like building blocks. Each section features a large and spacious atrium with balconies facing different directions.

The project will be constructed at Porte Ouest of La Défense, and will house a hotel, as well as office, retail and residential space. The Tour Signal project is part of an initiative to redevelop the business district at La Défense, giving it a modern, dynamic facelift while ensuring social, economic and environmental sustainability.
