Opus 12 Tower, Office tower in La Défense, France
Opus 12 Tower is a 27-story office building reaching 100 meters high in Puteaux, featuring extensive reflective glass facades that define its visual presence. The structure integrates seamlessly with La Défense infrastructure and provides 16 elevators to serve its many floors.
The tower was built in 1973 under architect Jean Dubuisson's direction, shaping the La Défense skyline from its inception. A comprehensive modernization in 2004 updated its facilities and brought the structure in line with contemporary standards.
The tower embodies the modern work culture of La Défense, reflecting through its design how office spaces evolved during the 1970s economic boom. Walking around the base, you notice how the building represents that era of rapid business expansion in the Paris region.
The building is easily accessible to visitors and directly connected to La Défense public transit networks. Ample elevators and central positioning make it simple to navigate the structure and reach surrounding areas.
The structure received technical upgrades from engineering firm Setec Bâtiment, incorporating advanced materials for energy efficiency. These improvements demonstrate how older structures can be revitalized through targeted renovation work.
