这是由Mikou Studio设计的刚果Africanews总部。该设计旨在为布拉柴维尔的城市天际线添加一份“强大的视觉冲击力”，木材表皮的塔楼被悬挂在双层玻璃底座上方，由四根“图腾般的”支柱支撑，顶层是绿化屋顶覆盖的全景餐厅。

设计团队表示，这栋53米高的建筑使用的非洲几何菱形图案的材料，兼具了场所文脉和现代精神。而外墙的半透明的木制遮阳篷，有助建筑隔热，而支柱使用了有色混凝土。该项目计划明年12月建成（2015年）。该总部将为Africanews提供必要的功能空间，如新闻编辑室、编辑办公室、放映室、会议中心、会议区和全景餐厅。

Mikou Design Studio has unveiled plans for the Africanews headquarters in Congo. Designed to “present a powerful visual impact” on Brazzaville’s skyline, the wood-clad tower will be hoisted on four “totem-like” pillars above a two-story glass base and topped with a panoramic restaurant sheltered by a vegetated rooftop terrace.

Describing the building as both “contextual and modern,” Mikou Studio stated that the 53-meter-tall tower’s “African materiality appears in the geometrical lozenge motif.” This is present in facade’s semi-transparent wooden sunshades, which are designed to protect the building for solar heat gain, and the tinted concrete in which forms the pillars.

Completion is planned for December of next year (2015). The headquarters will provide Africanews with all the essential programs, such as newsrooms, editing offices, screening rooms, a conference centre, meeting areas and the panoramic restaurant.
