Le Mabilay, Modernist architectural structure in Rennes, France.
The building features a tripod layout with numerous narrow windows and a central pylon reaching 83 meters in height at Rue de la Mabilais.
Built between 1970 and 1973 by architect Louis Arretche, the structure initially served as a telecommunications research center for the city of Rennes.
Following its renovation in 2013, Le Mabilay transformed into a central hub for digital innovation, hosting technology companies and creative professionals.
