Jean-Paul Viguier et Associés , in partnership with Eiffage and Woodeum , have won the competition for a 57 meter timber tower in the Saint-Jean Belcier district of Bordeaux , France. A tower and two shorter buildings, the 17,000 square meter mixed-use project contains housing, offices, and retail space, and is part of a larger master plan intent on spurring development in the vicinity of the Bordeaux-Saint-Jean railway station. The project name “Hyperion” is a reference to the world’s tallest living tree (a Sequoia sempervirens in Northern California) and emphasizes the proposal’s vanguard use of timber materials.
