Tour Adria, Office skyscraper in La Défense, France.
Tour Adria is a 155 m office skyscraper in La Défense, designed by Michel Andrault and Nicolas Ayoub of Conceptua and completed in 2002. Its triangular floor plan is clad in dark vertical glass stripes, unlike its white twin, Tour Égée. The tower rises from a lower wing with a flat roof and railing, and a pale stone-faced structure sits at its base.
Construction of the tower began in the late 1990s and was completed in the early 2000s as part of La Défense's expansion. This project reflected the district's growth as a major business center west of Paris.
This tower represents the evolution of French corporate architecture, serving as the headquarters for engineering company Technip since its inauguration.
Tour Adria stands at the Faubourg de l'Arche in Courbevoie, within the La Défense business district west of Paris. The tower is an Immeuble de grande hauteur with 615 parking spaces on four levels, and its renovation into Tour Hopen adds 12 metres and three floors. The surrounding towers are reached by train and bus from central Paris.
The darker exterior finish distinguishes this tower from its neighboring structures and makes it a recognizable landmark on the skyline. This visual contrast helps it stand out when exploring the business district.
