Hermitage Plaza Paris Coolest Modern Architecture

Architects Foster + Partners have recently unveiled plans for the tallest mixed-use towers in Western Europe. Hermitage Plaza will comprise of two 1,060ft (323m) towers intended to inject life by creating a sustainable, high-density community in Paris. Due to start on site in 2010 and complete by the end of 2014, the plaza will accommodate a hotel, spa, apartments, offices, and retail shops. The two towers will be a new distinctive landmark in the Paris skyline and will be located to the east of La Défense, in Courbevoie, along the river Scene.

“Hermitage Plaza will create a 24-hour community that will regenerate the riverfront and inject new life into a predominantly commercial part of the city. A light catching addition to the Paris skyline, the development will also provide a public piazza that leads down to the river’s edge to create a new destination for the city.” -Norman Foster. source
