A high-rise building in a city where height is often prohibited
The agency Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW) is the architect of the project, which, carried out by Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France, will be delivered in June 2017.
The “base” in the extension of Martin Luther King Park will host the courtrooms and the bright concourse. The “bastion”, connected to the “base” but separated from the Palace to ensure security, houses detention spaces. Three blocks in tiers, each opening onto a terrace hosting the “seat”, the “parquet” and “chair”.
On each floor hallways and offices will be flooded with light and offer an extraordinary view of the city of Paris. The terraces will not only meet the biodiversity plan of the municipality of Paris, but also include places for the staff of the courthouse.
The future courthouse of Paris, which meets the requirements of the Climate Plan of the City of Paris, will consume two times less energy than the recent towers of La Defense, thus taking its place in the exemplary achievements against global warming.
