Edouard Francois hotel opens in Paris
French architect Edouard Francois has sent us images of the facade of the newly opened Fouquet's Barrière, a hotel on the Champs Elysées in Paris that he has remodelled and extended.

The new element links two existing buildings and consists of an exact concrete replica of the facade of the old Fouquet's hotel nearby.

Francois has punched rectangular glass windows into the facade wherever they are required.
