The latter type has not been developed much by Immobel in Luxembourg, but the developer will draw on its know-how from its Belgian projects for Luxembourg. In total, 43 flats in four residences and 36 houses with generous exteriors will be built. The Special Development Plan (SDP) was developed by Dewey Muller Architekten Stadtplaner.
The project pays particular attention to green spaces and includes the presence of a remarkable century-old tree in its landscaping. There will also be tree-lined paths and numerous private gardens, as well as shared vegetable gardens. Future residents will also be able to take advantage of two common squares linked by a pedestrian axis. This space will be a private place to meet neighbours and a play area for children away from cars, with a specially designed playground for the youngest.
The architecture was entrusted to Rodolphe Mertens Architects and A2RC Architects. The new buildings remain relatively modest and low, playing with levels and recesses.
"We took care to carry out rigorous work to limit linear perspectives. Everything is on a human scale, punctuated by harmonious recesses or by the installation of natural elements. This approach gives the project an authentic character,” explains Mertens.
The facades will be made from recycled brick cladding, combined with sand-coloured anodised aluminium. The houses will be built from a timber frame.
Another noteworthy feature is that the entire district will be supplied with energy by heat pumps, thus replacing the use of fossil fuels for heating.
In addition, the road system is designed as a shared space in order to reduce the impact of private cars and to encourage the use of soft mobility. The central alley linking the two squares will be exclusively dedicated to pedestrians and cyclists.
Work is scheduled to start in mid-2022. Delivery is expected in early 2025.
Marketing began on 25 February this year and has been entrusted to JLL Residential and Mainstreet Real Estate.
