Revealing the specific features of this context, it is a link between two territories moving towards each other: the city and the sea. Its expressive architectural style makes it a new part of the skyline of the city port.
Project Name: Alta Tower
Studio Name: Hamonic+Masson & Associés
Surface: 6000m2
Client: Sogeprom
The plot is located at a nodal point in the history of the reconstruction of Le Havre. is strategic position, at the junction of the two urban grids of the general plan proposed by Perret, gives the building a singular character and geometry.
Bene ting from great visibility and an exceptional view of the docks, the tower offers residents in the surrounding area a view of various scales, as well as a variety of spaces for residents to enjoy.
Playing on the idea of movement, background and multiplicity, its volume accompanies the different scales of the city in an interplay of levels.
Our project is part of a city where heritage and modernity blend and feed of each other. Rooted in the world architectural history of the 20th century and inventing a new
typology, we had to write a new score in keeping with two sacred monsters of the architecture history.
Alta therefore combines the essential elements characteristic of each: the form and sensuality of Niemeyer, the grid and order of Perret, with concrete being the material common to all three projects.
A concrete mesh embraces the body of the building, accentuating the twisting
and turning that accompanies its upward transformation.
