The FGH Tower will host the headquarters of one of the largest industrial and financial groups in
Cameroon. Located in Douala, an international port and the economic capital not only of the country but also of the entire central African region, the building is an illustration of Cameroon’s economic and technological dynamism.
Due to its spectacular shape, both gracious and strong, our tower project is designed as a beacon, a truly iconic building in the city of Douala.
Built above three subterranean levels, the structure has two patios, themselves organized around two basins. This architectural pedestal includes car parks and services (conference halls, a company restaurant, and a gymnasium). The terrain is entirely landscaped and a spectacular footbridge crosses the two basins and leads to an entrance hall.
The tower is 30 storeys tall. Hosting the offices of the group’s president, the last two floors, topped by a glass and steel cupola, boast a garden and a sky terrace. The FGH Tower is also a technological showroom. The double-skinned façades are super-ventilated, and photovoltaic panels adorned with traditional loincloth motifs are integrated into the sun-breaks, generating electricity and reducing energy requirements.

La tour FGH abritera le siège de l’un des principaux groupes industriels et financiers privés du Cameroun. Situé à Douala, port international et capitale économique du pays et de toute l’Afrique centrale, ce bâtiment illustre l’envol économique et technologique du Cameroun.
Par sa forme spectaculaire, à la fois gracieuse et forte, notre projet de tour est conçu comme un signal, un véritable bâtiment iconique dans Douala.
Le bâtiment repose sur trois niveaux enterrés, qui s’ouvrent sur deux patios, eux-mêmes organisés autour de deux bassins. Ce socle comprend des parkings et des services (salles de conférences, restaurant d’entreprise, club de fitness). Le terrain est entièrement paysagé et une passerelle spectaculaire franchit les deux bassins pour mener au hall d’entrée.
La tour s’élance sur 30 niveaux. Les deux derniers, coiffés par une coupole de verre et d’acier, abritent les bureaux du président du groupe, ouverts sur un jardin et une terrasse en plein ciel. La tour FGH est également une vitrine technologique. Les façades en double peau sont sur-ventilées. Des panneaux photovoltaïques reprenant les motifs des pagnes traditionnels sont intégrés aux brise-soleil. Ils produisent de l’électricité et réduisent les besoins énergétiques.
