ESPLANADE TOWER

The tower’s vertical design creates a restaurant terrace with exceptional views of the city, the Sarine River, and the surrounding landscape. It comprises four stacked volumes, each with a specific function: shops and businesses on the ground floor, offices in the center, a business center and bistro on the middle floor, and apartments and lofts on the upper level.
The Esplanade itself is divided into two complementary spaces: the Place des Fêtes, an open and flexible area for events and activities, and the Rampe, a pedestrian walkway leading from the boulevard. Both areas are accessible to vehicles, ensuring smooth and flexible access for both pedestrians and events. From the outside, the tower presents a smooth yet dynamic facade.
The consistent materials used on the facade ensure vertical continuity, in which subtle variations in the openings and recesses, based on a fundamental grid, introduce both serenity and vibrancy.
