Tours Société Générale, Twin office towers in La Defense, France
The Chassagne and Alicante towers, each reaching 167 meters in height, stand 40 meters apart and feature distinctive inward-sloping tops in La Defense district.
Architects Michel Andrault and Pierre Parat completed these towers in 1995 as the new headquarters for Societe Generale bank, marking a shift from their Opera district location.
The entrance hall contains a large suspended sculpture by Tom Carr representing a seed, connecting to the French Rugby Federation sponsorship by Societe Generale.
The towers provide 125,000 square meters of office space, with the main entrance located in Puteaux while straddling the border with neighboring Nanterre.
The Chassagne tower features white stone construction while its twin Alicante tower displays red marble, creating a distinct architectural contrast.
