“This building seems oddly familiar…”, you might think to yourselves. Right in front of you stands the Tour Onyx. A striking black skyscraper piercing the Parisian skyline. The Tour Onyx, completed in 1977, is more than just a residential building. It embodies the modern architectural wave that swept through Paris.
The Tour Onyx is part of the larger Ilot Vandrezanne complex. This complex isn’t just about concrete and steel. Its heart lies in a secret shared by its residents. A lush garden, hidden away from the urban clamor, sits atop the commercial center Italie II. Imagine the delight of stepping out from your apartment into this sanctuary. Feel the Parisian breeze as you overlook the city below.
Unlike its more introverted sibling, the Tour Jade, the Tour Onyx stands tall, facing the street directly. Its black facade, a stark contrast against the Parisian sky, makes it a landmark. Easy to spot from afar. So, as you wander the vibrant streets of the 13th arrondissement, let your gaze be drawn upwards. To the sleek silhouette of Tour Onyx, a testament to modern architecture in the heart of historic Paris.
