Valode & Pistre was selected by Generali, in consultation with Saint-Gobain and Epadesa, at the end of an international architecture consultation.

Another way of creating emotion is to make the tower a sculpture, using a new geometry: rhombohedra. A rhombohedron is a cube whose faces are rhombuses or parallelograms instead of squares or rectangles. Instantly, a dynamic is created. With the same height and the same volume as a usual straight prism, the silhouette soars and the tower stands out from the others. A unique tower thus creates surprise. This large tripartite composition commands interest through its variations.
