3 Villages – La défense / Paris

Subject and Details

This 3D asset represents ‘Les Villages de l’Arche’, a significant architectural complex situated in the La Défense district of Paris. Designed by Atelier Castro-Denissof and completed in 1994, the structure covers an area of 84,000 m² and stands 40 meters tall across nine floors. The geometry captures the unique layout of the site, which consists of a suite of enclosed spaces including a covered round square, a mineral-style semi-circular square, and a vegetated oval square designed to bridge the gap between monumental urban scale and residential accessibility.

Files, Materials & Mesh

The model is optimized for performance while maintaining the distinct footprint and silhouette of the original Parisian architecture. It is delivered with the following technical specifications:

• Geometry: 14,400 triangles and 10,900 vertices.
• File Formats: Compatible with FBX, OBJ, and native Blender workflows.
• Included Assets: Full textures and materials are provided to ensure immediate utility.
• Scale: Based on the 9-story, 40-meter tall real-world dimensions.

Best-Fit Projects

Originally created for use in city-building simulations like Cities: Skylines, this model is highly effective for urban planning visualizations or as background architecture in larger digital environments. The efficient polygon count makes it an ideal choice for populating expansive metropolitan scenes in Unity or Unreal Engine without sacrificing the specific character of the 1990s French modernism it represents.

Related Model

To further develop a digital recreation of the French capital, this complex can be integrated alongside other major transportation hubs, such as the Charles de Gaulle airport Terminal 1 – Paris, to establish a realistic sense of scale and regional continuity.

For workflow planning, the page records that the mesh is listed at 14.4k triangles; and 10.9k vertices.
