The 68-meter building consists of 18 floors including the entry level lobby and bistro, offices, and a technical floor.An early goal for a DGNB Silver certificate for sustainability guided the planning decisions.

Das von dem Architekturbüro Barkow-Leibinger entworfene 17-stöckige Bürohaus erfüllt höchste Anforderungen für nachhaltiges Bauen.
A two-storey arcade defined by columns wraps the building base with closed and open arcades for the main entrance and a pedestrian path to the north.
On one of the last urban tracts of available land in Berlin, Germany, local architecture firm Barkow Leibinger recently completed an 18-story tower, Tour Total. The arcade acts as a filter between the lobby and the exterior and as a scaling device for the overall building.The free-standing tower defines a pedestrian passage that leads to a new public space with restaurants and other amenities, located between the new tower and a planned adjacent urban block.
Its front is oriented to Heidestrasse and to the planned future park to the north.
The form of the building reacts to a number of existing urban conditions. The overall form then folds creating a concave and convex side in reaction to the orthogonal edge to the Heidestrasse and to the radial system generated by the curving Minna-Cauer Strasse.
The project is being developed by CA Immo as the German headquarters of the French energy company, Total.
Designed by Barkow Leibinger, the Tour Total skyscraper will be the German head office of the French company of the same name. We will never give your details to anyone else without your consent.

The Tour Total is a singular high-rise that gives the company and its 500 employees a clear identity and location for their headquarters in Germany. It also acts as a mediator between the private interior spaces and the very public exterior space.
An offset core places the elevator lobby at the east facade giving each office floor daylight and orientation at the arrival point on each floor.Supporting the formal dynamic of the building and Total’s identity of mobility and energy, the load-bearing facade is made up of varying facetted pre-cast concrete elements that adjust to the building's changing form.The facade grid uses surface depth and sculptural definition to emphasize the verticality of the building.
