架构师提供的文本描述。从一开始，创建符合法国绿色建筑标准(HQE)的建筑是我们建筑理念的一部分。这也是投资者的愿望。我们成功了。由于我们设计的外部结构和材料的选择，钢和混凝土，我们能够减少30%的材料消耗。这是与其他同样大小的塔楼相比的。正如你所知道的，更少的物质也意味着更少的碳排放。

Text description provided by the architects. From the beginning it was part of our architectural concept to create a building that complies with the French green building standards HQE. It was also the investor’s wish. And we succeeded. Thanks to our design of the exostructure and the choice of materials, steel and concrete, we were able to reduce material consumption by 30 percent. This is in comparison to other towers the same size. And as you know, less material also means less carbon emissions.

该建筑物必须非常紧凑，并迅速确定了塔的形状，以适应其周围的环境。在狭小的地块里，长方形的形状是很难适应的。此外，我想要一个柔软而圆润的形状，使之与密集的环境相吻合。我也知道选择外部结构的皮肤将允许更好的结构稳定性和减少结构的截面和核心。然后，人们可能会对其底部的开放钻石形状感到好奇。

The building had to be very compact and the shape of the tower was rapidly defined to fit its surroundings. A rectangular shape would have been very difficult to fit within the cramped plot. Moreover, I wanted a soft and rounded shape around which that would fit into the dense context. I also knew opting for an exostructure skin would allow for better structural stability and reduce the section of the structure and core. One can then wonder about the open diamond shapes at its base.
