une tour à bureaux 'an office tower'
You know that in French most adjectives come after the noun. So, we have:
une tour de bureaux 'a tower of offices'
un magasin de vêtements 'a clothing store'
une voiture à essence 'a gas-powered car'
Let's put this all together in complete sentences:
English easily uses nouns in a way that resembles adjectives. For example
Nike Air Max Lebron 7 VII Women, we can say 'an office tower' or 'a DVD drive'. In French, again, you have to think back to front for word order. But there is a major complication. French uses the preposition de usually to mean the contents or origin. Here are some examples:
une arme de poing 'a handgun'
un homme grand 'a tall man'
la prochaine station 'the next stop'
une chaussure de cuir 'a leather shoe'
un couteau à pain 'a bread knife'
Il existe des bouteilles à vin de plastique. 'There are plastic wine bottles.'
une arme à feu 'a fire-arm'
You probably know that certain adjectives such as grand, bon, petit, beau, nouveau; ordinals (premier, deuxième, etc.) and possessive adjectives (mon, ma, son, ses, etc.) usually come before the noun.
un nouveau petit ordinateur puissant 'a new small powerful computer'
la chaussure en plastique 'the plastic shoe'

Alas, French grammar is never very simple. The preposition de can also be used to indicate 'of'. So, un sac de plastique is a plastic bag. Here are some other examples

le premier prix 'the first prize'

un bon vin 'a good wine'
la semaine prochaine 'next week'
un poste d'essence 'a gas station'

mon cher ami 'my dear friend'
Although their usage can overlap, the contrast between de and à is highlighted in the following examples:
la maison blanche 'the white house'
un ordinateur puissant 'a powerful computer'
Notre rue n'est pas une piste de course. 'Our street is not a race track.'
le sirop d'érable 'maple syrup'
Often de will be replaced by en with the meaning 'made of', as in:
The preposition à is used to indicate purpose, usage or mode of functioning. This is seen with verbs in signs like appartement à louer 'apartment for rent' or maison à vendre 'house for sale'. Here are some examples with nouns:
le sac en plastique 'the plastic bag'
une maison de bois 'a wooden house'
Certain adjectives are used in either position:
un bateau à voile 'a sailboat'
One of the initial difficulties of learning French is understanding the logic of the language. For example the order of certain words in French is the opposite of word order in English.
un verre à vin 'a wine glass'
une voiture chère 'an expensive car'
une voiture de luxe 'a luxury car'
ma nouvelle voiture blanche 'my new white car'
