Tour T1

Office · by Valode et Pistre · 2008

France

Conceived as a tall glass form that feels “folded” rather than simply extruded, this tower uses geometry to create a changing profile from different viewpoints. The sculpted facade avoids the flatness of a typical slab by introducing curvature and a clear vertical gesture. That formal move also supports practical goals: organizing daylight, views, and the tower’s corporate identity into one coherent envelope. In the dense La Défense cluster, the building acts as a recognizable marker because the massing reads as both thin and powerful. The project demonstrates how high-rise expression can come from a single strong idea applied consistently at the scale of the entire tower.
