The
two-year renovation project has been led by architect Moatti-Rivieres,
which also worked on new shops, restaurants and a museum to the
first-floor area.

The
glass floor has been added to the first floor of the 312-metre high
building, allowing viewers to look down at the world beneath them from
57m above the ground.

new cinema room screens films about the tower; while solar panels have
been introduced alongside a rainwater collection system that will be
used to supply water for the toilets.

Moatti-Rivieres worked with engineer Grontmij on the project, which aimed to make the first floor a feature in its own right.
