Achieve altogether elegance, slenderness and efficient price ratio, this was the starting brief of this 25 story building in Douala, Cameroun.
Taking advantage of the plot, the tower rises in the city sky as a bicolour shaft. Reminiscing of traditional roofs protection against tropical climate, Aluminium palms cover the façades of the tower to insure heat protection. This second skin hides a very simple and cost effective façade with a glass percentage of 35%.
