How about a tower that breathes? That’s the Tour CFC First. It stands before us. This isn’t just another skyscraper. It’s a statement.
The Tour CFC First is more than glass and steel. It embodies Casablanca’s ambition as a financial hub. CFC stands for Casablanca Finance City. This tower highlights the city’s role in the financial sector.
Completed in 2019, the Tour CFC First rises 122 meters. That makes it one of Casablanca’s tallest buildings. It’s primarily an office building. It is equipped with modern facilities that meet business needs.
Thom Mayne, an American architect, designed it. The design emerged from an international competition. It was dedicated to Pritzker Prize-winning architects. The Tour CFC First is a landmark in the Casa-Anfa area.
Note the tower’s distinctive architecture. Its glass facade offers panoramic city and coastal views from the upper floors. The Tour CFC First is in Casablanca’s business district. This provides easy access to businesses, hotels and services.
The building has 25 floors. There is also a mezzanine and six underground parking levels. The facade uses a double skin inspired by moucharabieh. These are traditional window coverings. This design is both visually appealing and technically impressive.
The double skin is “breathable” and acts as a “sunbreaker”. It accumulates heat and cold. It then redistributes them as needed. This design contributes to energy efficiency.
The Tour CFC First meets the requirements for LEED Gold certification. This reflects its commitment to environmental responsibility. The tower’s transparency fills the ground floor with light. The crystalline summit sparkles in the sky.
The Tour CFC First is not only an architectural marvel. It also redefines acoustic performance. Tisseyre + Associés collaborated on the project. They addressed facade insulation and room-to-room soundproofing. They also found solutions for technical equipment noise.
Imagine working here. The panoramic views. The sustainable design. The cutting-edge facilities. The Tour CFC First represents Casablanca’s future.
