The transformation of the tallest commercial building in France – the scheme has transformed a towering commercial building by Pierre Dufau into a glistening beacon in the La Défense district, its distinct form standing prominently on the Parisian skyline. For KPF this is an opportunity to showcase the firms dedication to the idea of refurbishment as a sustainable approach. KPF dramatically altered the towers silhouette to provide added character to an already impressive form, and inserted numerous openings to flood the interior spaces with much-needed natural light.
