Tour Horizons, Multi-story urban building in Boulogne-Billancourt, France
The Tour Horizons features three distinct architectural sections with a concrete base, ceramic middle section, and glass upper level reaching 19 floors.
The building stands on the former site of Renault factories that ceased operations and relocated during the early 1990s.
Jean Nouvel designed the structure to reflect contemporary architecture while incorporating elements that honor the industrial heritage of the location.
The 38,600-square-meter complex contains offices, retail spaces, an auditorium, and a restaurant, located at Passage Pierre Bezier.
The ceramic panels in the central section create horizontal stripes across the facade, alternating with white and black rectangular patterns.

Jean Nouvel is among the most recognized French architects of our time. His work spans five continents, including museums, office towers, concert halls, and residential complexes. Each project demonstrates his ability to combine technical innovation with respect for the local context, whether through material choices, light manipulation, or integration into the existing urban fabric. Among his major works, the Louvre Abu Dhabi features a perforated dome that creates a shower of light, while the Glòries Tower in Barcelona rises with its cylindrical shape and colorful facades. In Paris, the Arab World Institute has a façade equipped with mechanical diaphragms inspired by Islamic art, and the Philharmonie updates concert hall architecture with its silver volumes. Beyond Europe and the Middle East, his projects extend to Sydney with One Central Park and its hanging gardens, or Fort Worth with a museum surrounded by water basins. These buildings provide the opportunity to explore architecture that interacts with its environment and challenges conventions. Each visit allows appreciation of how architectural creativity can transform our relationship with urban and cultural spaces.
