The Link, Paris La Défense

The Link will be TotalEnergies’ future head-offices in La Défense.

The project’s outlines stand out through the different heights of the two towers that are linked together by footbridges associated with the collaborative work-spaces. The 50 storey “Arche” wing will rise 228 metres above the esplanade and the 35 storey “Seine” wing will reach a height of 165 metres. Both towers will share the same base complex which will have two basement floors and four further floors between the street level and the esplanade. The footbridges will create 2,000m² and 4,000m² duplex platforms, all of the floors will be linked in groups of two with large, open easy-access stairways. There will be a total of 130,000m² in office, canteen, co-working and relaxation spaces specifically designed to promote well-being and ensure an effective environment for collaborative work.

The Link will have Exceptional HQE certification, ensuring the highest possible standards in energy efficiency, comfort and acoustic conditions. 100% of the individual work-stations will benefit from direct sunlight and 25% of the energy required for lighting the tower will be provided by solar panels on the building exterior.

The project works will respect the Real Estate and Construction sector’s Circular Economy Charter.
