Choux de Créteil, Modernist residential complex in Créteil, France

Ten circular towers and one circular building with white petal-shaped balconies form this residential ensemble measuring 21 meters in diameter.

Architect Gérard Grandval designed these buildings between 1969 and 1974 on former market gardening lands that supplied vegetables to Paris.

The buildings received the 'Heritage of the 20th Century' label in 2008, recognizing their contribution to French architectural innovation.

The complex stands near Créteil l'Échat metro station on line 8 and TVM bus stop at 2 Boulevard Pablo Picasso.

Each apartment features a distinctive balcony shaped like cauliflower petals, creating the appearance of vertical gardens across the facade.
