The building called “Flower Tower” was designed by Edouard François, who drew inspiration from Parisians who habitually cultivate even the tiniest balcony, nurturing surprising greenery in this tightly packed, densely occupied city.

The pots are fixed to the balconies and fed by an automatic watering system to ensure that the plants do not die during the long holidays Paris residents in the height of summer. Bamboo was chosen because it is a hardy and fast-growing plant, but also because it makes a noise in the wind, "giving the impression to those inside that they are sleeping in a tree" explained Edouard François.

The inhabitants enjoy the rustling of bamboo and light filtered by the foliage. The elevator is on the façade and, glazed on both sides, it allows light to penetrate into the common areas. On the ground floor, it opens to the outside, transforming the exterior into a hall.
