The 150 m Tour Trinity in the Parisian business district of La Défense, was constructed on a site that had to be developed to ensure its successful insertion in this dense built environment.
The area provides 3,500 sq m of landscaped public space and links to previously disconnected neighbourhoods of the National Center of Industries and Techniques (CNIT) and Coupole-Regnault.
Tour Trinity is La Défense’s first tower to develop an offset core, yielding a “heart of life” with exterior glass walled elevators running along the façade. Diverging from the traditional office building format, Tour Trinity is a tower conceived to facilitate open interaction with its environment, and promotes a new way of working, through its shared spaces, its 43 planted terraces and balconies, its rooftop and its 4,000 sq m devoted to services.
Particular attention was paid to the design of the furniture, created by the architect and manufactured by a French boat-hull builder. Three custom made, 43 m long curved and sculpted aluminum furniture pieces structure the hall, providing sitting areas, reception desks and a bar desk.
Inside the tower there are 45,000 sq m of flexible work areas, 4,000 sq m of services including a reception, waiting areas, cafés and bars, and 1,500 sq m of terraces and loggias accommodating nearly 4,500 employees.
