Tour Granite, Office skyscraper in La Défense, France
Tour Granite rises 184 meters with 35 floors, presenting a triangular structure that marks the western edge of La Défense business district.
The construction of Tour Granite, completed in December 2008, expanded the Société Générale complex following insufficient space in their original twin towers.
Christian de Portzamparc designed this building with a diahedral form, contributing to the architectural evolution of La Défense during the early 2000s.
The building contains 67,740 square meters of office space, connected to adjacent towers through covered bridges and served by 17 elevators.
The tower features varying facade textures between east and west sides, creating different visual aspects depending on the viewing angle.
