In Paris Saint-Denis, Tour Maestro redefines architecture with a visible steel frame and high-performance Glas Trösch glazing that merges clarity, safety, and acoustic comfort.

At Tour Maestro in Paris Saint-Denis, there is no façade in the conventional sense. The building’s identity emerges from its exposed steel skeleton – a load-bearing grid that defines rhythm, scale and proportion across 117 metres of height. Designed by Sretchko Markovic (163 Ateliers).

The building envelope features EN2plus coated acoustic insulating glass, thermally toughened safety glass and laminated safety glass with sound insulation – a combination that balances transparency and protection in equal measure.
