Our “Tiermchen” project in Lultzhausen has been featured in the April–May 2025 edition of Wunnen Magazine under the “Actualités” section.

Developed for Youth Hostels Luxembourg, the project introduces a modular approach to tourism accommodation within the lakeside landscape of the Haute-Sûre. Conceived as a series of elevated timber cabins on steel supports, the architecture was designed to minimise ground impact while opening each unit toward natural light, views, and the surrounding environment.

Inspired by Luxembourg’s castle towers and rural shelters, the project combines timber and steel in a lightweight and demountable construction system adaptable to different terrains. The layout follows the natural slope of the site to create privacy between the cabins and a calm sequence of outdoor spaces integrated into the landscape.

The project also incorporates circular and low-impact strategies, including modular foundations, photovoltaic panels, rainwater recovery, natural ventilation, and low-energy systems adapted to the existing infrastructure of the site.

We are proud to see our Limpertsberg project featured in Paperjam Extra Living & Workspace, reflecting our dedication to timeless and sustainable architecture.

This exciting project, designed for a private investor, brings to life a timeless vision for modern living. The five-apartment building is crafted with a focus on functionality, durability, and understated elegance. Its façade and roof, made of natural zinc, offer a sustainable material choice that will age gracefully over time. Each apartment includes an outdoor space, with the ground-floor unit enjoying direct access to the garden and the first-floor unit boasting a private rooftop terrace.

Inside, expansive glass openings flood the apartments with natural light, while raw concrete ceilings and custom wooden furniture create a unique balance between industrial character and warmth. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to offer an inviting and contemporary living experience.

An approach that fosters sustainability, inclusivity and beauty

In an interview with PaperJam magazine, Sahar details how the collaborative approach necessary to obtain the goals of the New European Bauhaus will lead to a different type of architecture. In her words, “This approach fosters sustainability, inclusivity, and beauty, marking a significant shift from conventional compliance towards a more integrated, innovative, and adaptive architectural practice.”

She finds this inspirational because she feels it will lead to a deeply meaningful architecture that will reflect the stories, traditions, and values of diverse communities. Read the full article here: https://paperjam.lu/article/the-new-european-bauhaus-initi
