Mixed-use development and first reversible building in Paris La Défense
Built in 1981, the “Les Miroirs” real estate complex is set for a renaissance. The Odyssey project aims to set a new standard in terms of diversity, hybridization of uses, and sharing of experiences. Odyssey's strength lies in its “360°” offering, which will allow everyone to make it their own. This means enjoying the entire common base (central square) and all the services offered, regardless of which building you are based in.
Odyssey will consist of three buildings grouped around a central square. The program is mixed in terms of uses and users, as the O/ building will be partially accessible to the general public.
- O/ building: Hotel – Offices – Public garden and rooftop – Shops
- D/ building: Offices – Accommodation – Shops
- C/ building: Offices – Shops
The complete reversibility of building D/, the mixed use of building O/, and the suitability of building C/ for new ways of working meet the expectations and new uses of the area.
An international team of architects
Synergies are at the heart of this iconic complex, right from its conception. Three internationally renowned architectural firms are behind the co-creation of this complex:
- Jeanne Gang, Studio Gang (Aqua and Vista in Chicago, Solar Carve in New York)
- Jayla Mecattaf, CroMe Studio (Shard in London, Float in Dusseldorf)
- Jean-Luc Crochon, Cro&Co Architecture (Trinity, Le Carré Michelet, CNIT Eole)
Each is responsible for designing one of the three buildings, and all are working to bring the towers to life. The Odyssey experience invites people to come and work, live, and relax. All these uses give the neighborhood a dynamic flow between buildings, interaction between different communities, and 24/7 activity.
A real opportunity to transform the neighborhood
The central square will offer residents and employees a wide range of restaurants and shops. This square will be accessible via new pedestrian walkways connecting the business district to Courbevoie town center and Parc Diderot. In line with the Odyssey project, Paris La Défense will renovate public spaces to meet the expectations of residents and users, with the aim of facilitating pedestrian and bicycle travel between the business district and the center of Courbevoie.
