Skypark Business Center
Skypark Business Center in Luxembourg is a striking airport development where architecture, movement and material expression come together. Located next to Luxembourg Airport, the building forms part of the wider Airport City development and is designed as a sustainable business destination with offices, retail, hospitality and public spaces.
For this project, Alumet supplied anodized aluminium in AluCopper 02. The warm copper tone supports the building’s sculptural shape and gives the façade a strong visual identity from every angle. Across the long, meandering volumes, the anodized surface helps create rhythm, depth and a consistent architectural appearance.

REI – Quartier du Parc Reimerwee, Kirchberg (LU)
Building a family
Father, mother, child. Like a prototypical family, two large and two small buildings combine into an ensemble accommodating a total of 94 residential units in Kirchberg, Luxembourg City. Two stretched-out linear buildings in the Quartier du Parc Réimerwee are located on the north-eastern edge of a new development area, with the north-western side lined by Boulevard Konrad Adenauer. To the south, the complex opens up to Parc Réimerwee. Two point-block buildings complete the ensemble, creating an architectural quartet of individualized buildings.

Bolles+Wilson shapes National Library of Luxembourg like amphitheatre for reading under long span roof
The Bibliotheque Nationale de Luxembourg (BnL) was completed in 2019 after a complex gestation and construction period that began in 2003 with a design competition in the Kirchberg precinct to convert the European Parliament building into a new library. After a number of revisions related to changing political mandates, the site was repositioned from the western to the eastern end of Avenue JFK, allowing a revised articulation of the library and its surrounding context.

Grünewald Kirchberg
A geometric grid
Recent urban developments tend to create homogeneous and generic landscapes and cities. The urban plan of the Grünewald district, which is part of the new European district in Luxembourg, was developed based on a geometric grid. The mixture of building blocks, private gardens and squares has the structure of a chessboard. The district is on the edge of a plateau, where it borders the open landscape overlooking the valley.
The fragmented orchard
It was challenging to provide the neighbourhood with a strong identity and to create a sense of togetherness. We developed the principle of the 'fragmented orchard' that spreads across the entire network of squares and gardens. Three types of orchards can be distinguished: an... More
