The Diderot office building in Courbevoie rises as a sharp, crystalline wedge of glass and steel. It serves as the headquarters for major corporate tenants, anchoring this corner of the La Defense business district. Architecturally, its primary distinction lies in that acute, knife-like angle where two glass facades meet, designed to maximize natural light and office floor space. During construction, workers discovered that the structural supports needed to be sunk deeper than anticipated to hold the weight of the cantilevered sections against the local soil.
