The ‘Hollerecher Häff’ project aims to create a new district that harmonizes urban planning, architecture, and landscape. It is based on a design that respects the city’s iconic views and features an urban morphology inspired by the historic Hollerich district.
The development is structured around four themed courtyards:
- ‘La cour des artisans’ lively and public, hosts workshops and shops.
- ‘La cour des jardins’ quieter and semi-private, emphasizes green spaces and residents’ well-being.
- ‘La cour familiale’ welcoming and communal, includes housing, a daycare, and intergenerational play areas.
- ‘La cour d’accueil’ discreet and intimate, is dedicated to medical and social services.
The project highlights Hollerich’s artisanal heritage by integrating production workshops and promoting local and sustainable consumption. Urban planning also includes a pedestrian and cycling axis connecting the district to the train station and tram, as well as a landscaped promenade along the railway.
The architecture prioritizes sustainable materials like brick and adopts a flexible construction approach (wood for housing, concrete for offices), allowing for the evolution of uses over time. Buildings are designed to be bright, cross-ventilated, and bi-oriented, enhancing residents’ comfort.
The project also embraces an ambitious ecological and energy strategy, featuring optimized rainwater management, green and solar roofs, and an innovative energy network ensuring carbon neutrality.
Thus, ‘Hollerecher Häff’ stands as a model of a sustainable, vibrant, and inclusive district, blending heritage, innovation, and quality of life.
