Cœur Défense, Office skyscraper in La Défense, France
The complex consists of two 161-meter towers with 40 floors each, connected by a central section and supplemented by three smaller 40-meter buildings.
The construction in 2001 replaced the former Esso Tower, which was the first building of the original La Défense generation to undergo demolition.
The building features an atrium that functions as a public square, incorporating four internal streets that connect different sections of the surrounding area.
The structure contains 32 elevators and offers 350,000 square meters of office space, with direct access to La Défense Grande Arche transportation station.
Electronic systems control white blinds throughout the entire building, allowing simultaneous operation across all windows for coordinated light management.
