Clean-Powered Le Cinq Office Tower in Paris Will Green the City Skyline

<a href="http://www.neutelings-riedijk.com/index.php?id=40,292,0,0,1,0">Neutelings Riedijk Architects</a> has designed Le Cinq - a 180-meter-tall office tower in Paris that will green the city skyline while deriving most of its energy from clean sources. Comprised of five six-story blocks with an open inner courtyard and a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/amazing-green-roof-art-school-in-singapore/">green roof</a>, the mixed-use facility cantilevers over two vertical stands. Brussels developer Buelens NV commissioned the firm to submit their design as part of the municipality's urban rehabilitation plan for the eastern side of Paris.

Le Cinq is a new office tower designed for eastern Paris

Each block of the tower has a green roof

There are 5 blocks, 6 stories each

Spaces between each block promote natural ventilation

The mixed-use development is part of an urban generation plan

This will be the first big office tower built since the 1970s
