About
Undulating bands of glass seem to weave together into one large glazed plait, and the bay windows they form look out over the Arc de Triomphe, place de l'Étoile and avenue des Ternes.
Shops fill the first two floors. A large porch opens onto a sloping interior garden that leads to the Salle Wagram, a 19th-century performance hall whose façade Christian de Portzamparc reworked, bringing the heart of the block back to the street.
