A team led by Bouygues Immoblier UrbanEra – the communities development arm of Bouygues Group - including international Architect Skidmore Owings and Merrill (SOM), Architects-Urbanists-Landscape Designers Ateliers 2/3/4/, AREP, and community 'think tank' Le Grand Reservoir; has been selected by the Ville de Charenton and Grand Paris Amenagement as the preferred development team for the Charenton-Bercy project on the eastern edge of Paris. Established as part of the developer bid process, the SOM-led masterplan proposes a highly connected urban district incorporating a 180m tall Net Zero Energy hotel and residential tower and a contemporary rotunda building which will form the heart of a new 'Virtual Reality' tech hub for the city.
