L'Arbre de Vie

Tree of Life

OXO Architectes as Architects

The aspiration of the project Tree of Life is to actively participate in the future development of Créteil by creating new spaces as attractors and generators of life and well-being. The project will be influencing on the greater scale of its context: Créteil and the territory of Grand Paris Sud Est Avenir. 

Tree of Life will become a true architectural landmark, unique, precursory and benefiting the environment of eastern Paris.

The basis of the project creates a relation of proximity and complicity with the surrounding public space and will be conceived to resonate and interact with this space. We want to create bonding in the heart of a project where the different uses meet and interconnect. 

A true meeting place, it will be conceived with a focus on people, who either use it, walk by it and care for it.

The tower will host offices, housing and retail. Urban agriculture will be developed in relation with its diversified catering offer, in addition to the existing commercial center.
This variety of programs will catalyse social and intergenerational connections, conferring a stimulus for the building to live at any time of day and night.

Our approach goes far beyond imagining a building closed in itself, that focuses only on the benefit of its users. Our concept is therefore marked with the seal of otherness for the residents and the inhabitants of Grand Paris Sud Est Avenir. The top terrace of the tower will be accessible to all to enjoy its panoramic restaurant.

All the programs such as housing, work or business require new reflections and new synergies must be found. The project we propose  approaches new urban, landscape and architectural ideas, as a set of beliefs focused on its direct and indirect users on different scales:  that of the user, the site and the territory of Ile-de-France.
