This tower is located in the east of Monaco, in an essentially residential area, near the sea.
It is made up of 29 floors (24 floors + 5 underground levels) including 73 apartments, a Family Center, a spa, commercial premises, three swimming pools, two of which are private on the roof of the building, and an underground parking lot with 200 spaces. Watch the project video here
A SUSTAINABLE BUILDING
The building, developed by the agency Wilmotte & Associates integrates the principles of sustainable development, it was designed to offer an environment-friendly architecture.
In particular, the architects wanted to bring in as much natural light as possible into the living spaces, without hiding the sun’s light from the neighboring buildings. In addition, its compact shape enables two apartments per floor, with their own private balconies.
SADEV’S ROLE
SADEV provided 2400 linear meters of SABCO curved guardrails. Different radius, from 5 to 10 meters were realized.
These SABCO profiles have been tested to withstand ultimate winds of over 290 km/h (4200 pa). To resist the high wind loads that a tower of this height located by the sea can encounter.
The new headquarters of the Saint-Gobain company was recently built in the heart of the “La Défense” district in Paris.
This tower, which rises over 44 levels, was designed by the Valode & Pistre architectural firm. It is distinguished by its remarkable shapes, inspired by a crystal found in the natural environment.
The building meets the challenges of “La Defense” in terms of construction. Due to the complexity of the site and it’s height, the societal issues and quality of life in a building of this magnitude make it an example in terms of energy performance.
Light is the central focus of the project
The building, assembled from all these glass panels, changes according to the exposure and the light, between transparency and reflection. This material was chosen for its ability to provide maximum light into the building and for the employees’ well-being.
The structural bolt facade technique was selected to highlight strategic locations such as the base and the top of the tower. This solution is perfect for large glass dimensions and avoids the use of profiles and lightens the whole structure while guaranteeing the best visual aspect and optimization of the light contribution.
This stapled glass facade has allowed the realization of a plant greenhouse at the top of the tower, where the climate is temperate in all seasons.
A technical project
During the design phase the tower head with Eiffage and the tower base with Hefi, SADEV used all its know-how to answer the technical problems (dilatation, high load resumption…), from the design study to the manufacturing of a structural bolt glass facade system unique to the project.
THE TOWER HEAD
This glass lozenge that seems to be floating above the tower is the most complex part of the structure.
Due to its geometry and the altitude where it is positioned.
At this height everything takes on proportions of a different magnitude: the wind, the deformations of the materials and the building…
Thus, maintaining 300-kilogram glass panels at a height of 170 meters requires mastery of the design studies, the various calculations, the manufacturing of the products and the installation on site.
Thanks to its technical approach, SADEV had to solve specific constraints by developing specific fasteners to meet the constraints of this structural bolt facade.
The characteristics of the S3030 L fastener made it possible to meet the high structural loads.
THE TOWER BASE
This glass cube is the building’s showcase.
This showroom is a real skylight, which displays Saint-Gobain’s products and innovations. SADEV designed and built the fasteners and swivel fittings that hold the suspended structure and the glass panels of different geometries.
The Pascal Towers were built in 1983 and are up to 95 meters high.
2017, is the beginning of the modernization project, which will see the fusion of these two towers, bringing the total height to 101 meters.
The building is enveloped in a remarkable architectural facade and changes its name to: Landscape Towers
The facade has been completely redesigned using high-quality architectural materials such as black marble, extra clear high-performance glass, and brushed stainless steel.
This facade design is transformed according to the angle of view and the light.
The relief of the building is provided by glass sheets fitted in front of the windows.
This architectural system allows the opening of the windows while limiting the inconveniences related to the climatic and phonic conditions.
The SADEV’s role SADEV’s design office worked in partnership with GOYER GROUP, the company holding the contract, to optimize the cost and manufacture of more than 10,000 stainless steel castings with complex geometry that hold the glass panels (CONSTRUCT solution). SADEV also brought its expertise in tracking, traceability, and specific control of the parts.
173 Boulevard Haussmann is getting a makeover. This project involves the rehabilitation of two separate buildings to create a coherent tertiary complex.
It is also a renovation with two approaches: between the conservation of the historic Haussmann-style forms, sublimated to modernism and the innovation of a glass-scaled roof, a roof that gives access to a magnificent terrace with a view of Paris, in complete transparency.
SADEV’s role
Optimization of the structure’s manufacturing methods with the integration of a photovoltaic system and optimization of the clamps that hold the glass flakes.
Inaugurated on October 27, 2014, the Louis Vuitton Foundation is an architectural feat.
The building has a floor area of 4,500 m², with 11,700 m² of usable space and offers nearly 3,500 m² of exhibition galleries, some of which are pierced by huge skylights.
SADEV fasteners were used in various trades: construction of glass panels for the building envelope, glass balustrades around the building, curved glass panels for the interior.
SADEV’s technical added value
Its design office in partnership with the company holding the market to optimise costs and the manufacture of stainless steel castings with complex geometry that hold the glass of the building envelope (CONSTRUCT solution). SADEV also brought its expertise in the follow-up, traceability and specific control of the parts.
