Tour Eqho, Office skyscraper in La Défense, France
The Tour Eqho features a geometric design with a parallelepiped structure and a semi-cylindrical protrusion on its main facade, rising 131 meters into the Paris skyline.
Built in 1988 under architect Jean Willerval's direction, the building served as IBM's French headquarters until 2010 before transitioning to accommodate multiple corporate tenants.
The tower represents the third generation of architectural development in La Défense, marking the district's transformation into a modern business center.
The building contains 40 floors of office space, an auditorium for 330 people, four restaurants, a 1,300-square-meter fitness center, and 1,110 parking spaces.
The structure earned informal recognition among real estate professionals who nicknamed it 'the urinal' due to its distinctive semi-cylindrical facade element.
