L'Arbre Blanc, Contemporary residential tower in Montpellier, France
The white concrete tower rises 56 meters high with 17 floors, featuring extended balconies that branch out like a tree's foliage against the Mediterranean sky.
The City of Montpellier initiated the Folie Richter competition in 2013 to construct a landmark tower that would enhance the city's architectural heritage.
Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto collaborated with French firms Nicolas Laisné and OXO Architectes to merge Mediterranean and Japanese design principles in the structure.
The building contains 113 apartments, a ground-floor restaurant, an art gallery named La Serre, and a rooftop bar offering panoramic views of Montpellier.
The protruding balconies extend up to 7.5 meters from the building's core, creating outdoor living spaces that serve as natural protection from sun and wind.
