The La Marseillaise tower is the major element of Euroméditerranée’s new waterfront in Marseille. 135 metres high, the tower stands out for its façades made of sunshades in UHPFRC (ultra-high-performance fibre-reinforced concrete), coloured according to their orientation to the surrounding landscapes, which give the tower an unprecedented kinetic dimension, shifting from the blues of the sky and the sea to terracotta reds.
