Tour Lilleurope (Euralille Tower), Lille
The Euralille Tower (Tour Euralille) stands as a prominent office skyscraper within Euralille, the bustling business district of the Lille metropolitan area in France. This architectural marvel was designed by the talented duo, Jean-Claude Burdèse and Claude Vasconi. Reaching a height of 110 meters, it ranks as the second tallest tower in Lille, surpassed only by the Lille Tower (Tour de Lille).
A defining feature of the Euralille Tower is its strategic location spanning the Lille-Europe station, which presented significant engineering challenges during its construction. The design incorporates a unique mixed structure, masterfully executed by Rabot Dutilleul Construction. This innovative design combines a reinforced concrete ladder beam and a metal frame that supports the suspended floors, showcasing a blend of strength and aesthetic elegance.
The tower's integration with the Lille-Europe station not only emphasizes its functional significance in the region's infrastructure but also enhances its accessibility and prominence as a key landmark in Lille's skyline.
