HOPEN is more than just a building, it’s a promise of seamless, liberating everyday experiences. Every space is designed for flexible use effortlessly shifting between individual workspaces, meeting rooms, and relaxation zones, depending on the time of day and the user's needs.

•   A publicly accessible ground floor and rooftop terrace

•   A multipurpose hall
•   Coworking areas

•   Two dedicated employee restaurants

HOPEN stands out as a true destination. Its expansive ground floor, located on the lower plaza level, is open to both occupants and the general public, offering a vibrant mix of restaurants, retail outlets, services, and cultural spaces.

At the top of the tower, HOPEN’s second signature space: a panoramic restaurant open to the public, perched 150 meters above ground, offering a unique perspective over Paris La Défense and the greater western Paris area.

HOPEN is proof that cities can be reinvented without starting from scratch, a model of urban renewal without demolition. A symbol of urban sustainability, HOPEN was conceived as an ethical project from the outset, committed to promoting the health and well-being of its occupants and of the planet, both today and for the long term.

•  HQE and BREEAM Excellent certifications
•   Maximum waste reduction and sustainable waste management
•   A zero-plastic policy throughout the tower
•   Certified WELL, WiredScore, WELL Health-Safety Rating (HSR), Ready2Services, and Ready to Osmoz
•  First tower to appoint a dedicated CSR Manager, responsible for monitoring and delivering annually defined sustainability goals

The Tower is all about helping everyone to take action, through small and larger actions.

The cycling and sustainable transport store offers a sports resource centre, providing second-hand and reconditioned sports equipment at reasonable prices

Charitable rounding-up is available on all payment channels and for each business and service.

Finally, HOPEN is home to national and local charities. This setting is the only one of its kind in Paris La Défense. It raises awareness and provides information for visitors and employees who wish to engage in one-off and regular charitable initiatives.

•    By de-compartmentalising the lower ground floor, the Tower reconnects the paved area of Paris La Défense to the neighbourhoods of Courbevoie surrounding it, turning it into a new destination for local residents.
•    The roof terrace, which is also open to the general public, brings the building to life throughout the day, both during the week and on weekends, making the Tower a leading cultural player in Paris La Défense.
•    In choosing partnerships, HOPEN is also committed to promoting the local economy and employment, and sourcing products locally.
•    HOPEN’s commitment to the local community also involves culture: the lower level of the ground floor is also a place for cultural expression, hosting artistic and charitable events.

With this renewed identity, HOPEN is fully integrated into Paris La Défense’s goal to become the first post-carbon business district. 

•   Respecting the environment is the central focus for Ateliers 2/3/4 architects as they redesign the building through carefully chosen methods, economy of means, material reuse, and efficient and controlled consumption within the framework of future operations.
•   The Tower’s specifications set clear environmental performance objectives: reuse of bio-waste for the green areas of the Tower, the recovery of used cooking oils, the distribution of unsold goods to charities, and reusable and returnable food utensils.
• Thanks to dedicated parking areas for bicycles and scooters, lockers for users’ helmets, and a dedicated shop, HOPEN is supporting the ever-growing number of commuters who are looking for different ways of getting around.

On the ground floor, HOPEN blends culinary pleasures with cultural discovery, featuring a curated selection of independent retailers and artisans.

Two food courts and a café offer flavors from around the world, with a click & collect service for convenient takeaway. Within these vibrant spaces, art installations, cultural events, and community initiatives unfold naturally, creating a lively, street-market atmosphere, enhanced by a small farmers’ market.

These venues lead by example in terms of transparency and product traceability, prioritizing organic and local producers, fresh, unpackaged goods, and a low-waste philosophy.

Overlooking the Grand Paris skyline, the rooftop terrace and its restaurant make HOPEN an exceptional destination. With over 120 indoor seats and 50 outdoor seats, this lively restaurant—with its cozy, ambient atmosphere, is equally inviting by day, evening, and throughout the weekend.

Working every day at the office is no longer the norm, and it’s essential to be able to meet and spend time together. To facilitate meetings and stimulate creativity, HOPEN’s spaces are designed to fit all working situations: private offices with windows that open on each floor, small and large meeting rooms that can be reserved through the building’s app for large presentations, seminars and trainings, and shared open spaces, shared tables, private alcoves, tea stations and sofas on every floor for friendly chats, as well as private restaurants and cafés on the ground floor and on the 23rd floor for informal meetings.

Depending on their preferences and needs, each employee has the freedom to work beyond their usual desk and take advantage of shared spaces open to the public. Dining areas, the meeting centers, and outdoor spaces can easily transform into alternative workspaces as needed.

From the 26th floor terrace of the HOPEN tower, panoramic views stretch across Paris La Défense and the Greater Paris area. Large windows on every floor provide unobstructed vistas, while high ceilings allow natural light to flood the interiors. Designed with a biophilic approach, the interior lighting adjusts throughout the day and seasons to complement natural light variations.

To relax and recharge, a wellness area has been created on the 23rd floor, offering breathtaking views of Paris La Défense. This space features a massage lounge, a beauty bar, and a barber and hair salon. Inspired by the fluidity of water, the design creates a serene and calming atmosphere.
