DEXIA Tower

DEXIA Tower captures the eye with its pure, discreet line, elegant shape and extravagant façade. The building has 32 above ground floors and four basement levels. But what are its dominant features? On the first five floors, we find the entrance hall, a restaurant, snack bar, the kitchen and the shared services. Then, above the fifth floor, twenty-six meters above the ground, a large 2.20 meter thick transfer slab. This slab rests on eighteen 1.40-meter diameter columns, a triangular concrete pile and the core of the building, serving to distribute the weight of the upper part / rest of the building. The next twenty-six floors will provide 44,000 m2 of office space. There are four basement levels: three for the technical installations and one for a small car parking. Up to the fifth floor marble and granite dominate, above that a green glass façade that decorates the upper floors. Architectural choices that undoubtedly make the DEXIA tower one of the most elegant buildings on the «La Défense» landscape.

This is a reference project for BESIX. Building an edifice of such structural elegance in particularly difficult conditions called for very strict day-to-day organization by the site team. The success of this project embodies not only the quality of our work and our professionalism, but also witnesses to the effective collaboration of everyone who played an active part - architects, engineers, the customer, the project manager and the workers - in building the tower.
