To complement this visionary architecture, the roof employs Okalux’s OKASOLAR S system.

Jean Nouvel's architectural genius has been recognized with the Pritzker Prize, his aesthetic vision is known to be challenging yet enriching. The Horizons office building in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, by Ateliers Jean Nouvel, is a testament to his legacy. This innovative structure features three contrasting segments, from a sturdy dark base to a glass top, designed to expand the horizon and elevate aesthetic perception.

OKASOLAR S was the perfect choice for the roof. This specialized daylight system for overhead glazing combines effective solar shading with optimal daylight distribution. The integrated shading system creates a comfortable interior environment, providing uniform illumination throughout the day and year. Moreover, OKASOLAR S helps reduce cooling loads and costs for artificial lighting, enhancing the building's energy efficiency.
