Located at the heart of the new Jacques Cœur district, Montpellier's future pole of attraction, La Mantilla is an office building designed by Bouygues Immobilier and architect firms Jacques Ferrier Architectes and A+ Architecture. Covering 3,500 m2, la Mantilla is named after the "steel mantilla" enveloping its façade, which affords the building its characteristic architectural design and a high level of thermal comfort. There will be shops on the ground floor level catering to the requirements of its users. Finally, la Mantilla is ideally located only a few minutes from the city centre of Montpellier thanks to the nearby tramway line.
The building, which is aiming for NF Bâtiment Tertiaire Démarche HQE® (High Environmental Quality certification), will be equipped with an energy management system powered by Siego®, a software solution developed by Bouygues Immobilier. La Mantilla is scheduled to be handed over at the end of 2014.
