The Gambetta tower and the Maréchal-Leclerc residence, together with the Les Dauphins residence, form a 715-unit complex. The Gambetta tower alone has 304 units. The Gambetta tower also forms a counterpart to Défense 2000, located at the other end of the Epad perimeter.

For the building, the architects sought a variety of volumes and heights according to the principle of decomposition of the plans.

The Marechal-Leclerc residence, on the other hand, is presented in tiers. The grooves of its prefabricated panels create, while guiding rainwater, plays of onbre and light on the rounded façades.

A word about the architects

Partners since 1946, Daniel Badani and Pierre Roux-Dorlut set up their main office in the Paris region in 1952, after numerous projects in the South of France and Africa. In addition to housing operations, the most prolific duo of the Trentes Glorieuses has built several school, administrative and public complexes. They became part of the history of the monumental axis leading from the Louvre to La Défense by developing the underground space of the Tuileries. They then signed the Marechal-Leclerc Gambetta complex.
