Integrated into the overall form of the building, the façade and public platform is a continuous vertical landscape. The design plans to line the platform of the building with trees, while a ribbon of gardens will curl around the glass facade to its full height. The vertical gardens will be designed by the landscape architect Nicolas Gilsoul.

The tower includes 11,000 sq. m of office space, a Hilton hotel, up to 120 apartments, a restaurant with panoramic views, commercial space for shops, and offices on the ground floor for the railway company SNCF.

Situated east of the city centre, and away from the Garonne River, the building will have views towards the Pyrenees, that are less than 100 km away. The project is projected to become the gateway to the city’s growing business sector.

The architect Daniel Libeskind said:

“With its suspended gardens that change color during the seasons, the slight silvertine of the glazing of the façade will reflect the pink tones of Toulouse and the brightness of this material will change perception of the space, according to the variation of light.

“The tower becomes a unique object in a vast urban space – the tower will not only become a destination, but also a defining public space.”

Studio Libeskind will collaborate with Toulouse architect Francis Cardete. The construction start date is slated for 2018, with a project completion date of 2022.
