I can't stand top-heavy designs.
|
Reminds me of his original WTC proposal. I like them.

Damn that looks sexy. Very cool modern design they got going there. |
Amazing towers. They remind me of one of the WTC plans.
|
Beautiful twins though the floor height on these seems a little on the short end for 92 floors.
|
I love them!
Very French. |
My favorite supertall proposal atm

Note that we've learned that the Hermitage Towers will actually be 1,106 ft (337m) high. The 1,060ft (323m) height that was previously reported is measured from the elevated concrete slab of La Défense, but the height from street level is 1,106 ft as per the architect's plans. The Hermitage developper apparently prefered to tell the press about the 1,060 ft height because they didn't want to generate a controversy with the Eiffel Tower whose height is 1,066 ft. In fact the Hermitage Towers will be 40 feet taller than the Eiffel Tower!! They will also appear significantly taller than the Eiffel Tower in the skyline of Paris: the top of the Eiffel Tower's antenna is 1,176 ft above sea-level, whereas the roof of the Hermitage Towers (no antenna) will be 1,197.5 ft above sea-level.
I hope to scan the architect's plans soon to show you. The developper has officially filed for a building permit (they deposited 2 vans of documents and architect's plans at the town hall of Courbevoie!). The building permit will most likely be issued in the spring of next year. The CEO of Hermitage said they are dead set on starting construction between July 2011 and September 2011 at the latest. The Hermitage Towers compared to the Empire State Building and the London Bridge Tower. http://i52.tinypic.com/15qzqtk.png And as an appetizer, an extract from the building permit file, showing the exact roof height. http://i52.tinypic.com/2eem0hx.png |
Last but not least, the Hermitage Towers will be built on the banks of the Seine River, whose altitude below the towers is 75.5 ft above sea-level (that's the altitude of the upper layer of water, not the river bed). In other words, if you take a boat and find yourself on the Seine River in front of the Hermitage Towers, the roof of the two towers will be 1,122 ft (342 m) above you.

Wow! Paris is stepping up to the plate in a major way! It's about time its financial district starts to get the recognition it deserves on a larger scale. Paris has the largest financial district in Europe. And, although the FiDi is just outside Paris city limits, the current Mayor of Paris is pro growth and pro skyscraper. So, here is one project we should all watch closely. Congrats Paris! :)

Twin towers..Mneh, its been done before.
I don't know what it is about twin towers, but i'll always think of New York City. Come up with something different. |
