Article source: Studio 02 Architectes The Kanoa tower is a project that fits into the vast urban development plan for the Island of Nantes. This is a very understated building, whose shape, worked to the extreme, is the main feature. To minimize the tower’s impact on the street, it was designed in a “boot” shape and discreetly covered in zinc, which was laid down in shingles to create a scaled effect.

This is a place for meetings and conviviality, where the structure’s modularity allows for many types of events thanks to its ephemeral boundaries.
