Euronews opened its brand unexampled orbicular headquartersin Lyon , France on Thursday , and I am pretty certain Lyon just grow an iconic landmark on the bank of its Saône River .
Paris - base architectsJakob+MacFarlane ’s workbecame reality in four years , and now the multilingual news television channel has a modern and overweening new home in the territory Confluence , where two expectant river — Rhône and Saône — join up .
Euronewshas about 800 faculty in Lyon , now they have a total of 10,000 straight meters work blank — multimedia offices , high - tech quickness , and studio — across six trading floor . The follow video shows the main characteristic of the vivacious unripened cuboid construction :

The massive office edifice ’s perforated skin and the two orotund round openings on the river side make the pan - European television HQ a rather salient piece of architecture . It is sure that , with its aglow greenish bearing , this is one of the most visible building at the heart of Lyon . And those eyes ! Jakob+MacFarlane designer explain their concept thus :
The Euronews labor is conceptualise as a stretch cube pierce by two cone-shaped atrium introduce daylight , air and providing views of the river for the building ’s drug user . These atriums are opine as two gigantic eyes front onto the river and its environment .
Symbolically , the eyes also represent those of Euronews , abstractionist receptors , capturing the result of the world around us . An trope that come across with the role of commentator of world affairs associated with the tidings channel .
