Concrete, brick, timber, glass, insulation and metal all respond differently to heat, moisture and external conditions.

But performance is rarely defined by one material alone. Insulation continuity, thermal conductivity, moisture movement and the interfaces between different materials all influence how the envelope behaves as a system.

A highly insulated wall can still underperform through poorly resolved junctions, while material choices such as thermal mass or façade finishes can directly affect internal comfort and surface temperatures.

Ultimately, material selection is not only about appearance or specification, it is about understanding how materials work together.

Set within the Upper Sûre Nature Park, the project is located in one of Luxembourg’s most distinctive landscapes, defined by the lake, dense forests, steep valleys and the characteristic terrain of the Éislek region.

Seven glamping units are integrated into this setting: three Explorer cabins for two guests, two Explorer cabins with Loggia for two guests, one Family cabin for four guests, and one Sauna.

The compact, elevated structures reduce their footprint on the terrain, while their modular and transportable construction allows the units to respond to the natural conditions of the site.

The glamping cabins will be developed for Youth hostels in Luxembourg in Lultzhausen.

Located by the Upper Sûre Lake, the project introduces seven glamping units within one of Luxembourg’s most characteristic natural landscapes: three Explorer cabins, two Explorer cabins with Loggia — all conceived for two guests — one Family cabin for four and one Sauna.

The cabins are conceived as compact, modular structures elevated above the terrain. This reduces their footprint on the site while allowing the existing landscape to remain a defining part of the project.

The exposed timber structure references Luxembourg’s forests, while the steel supports establish a connection with the industrial heritage of the Minett. The surrounding landscape follows the same approach, combining different types of paths, timber access ramps, new planting and private outdoor areas around each cabin.

The glamping cabins will be developed for Auberges de Jeunesse Luxembourgeoises asbl. in Lultzhausen.

Long before mechanical cooling existed, homes in hot climates relied on architecture itself to create comfortable indoor environments. Many of these passive design principles remain just as relevant today.

Simple decisions made at the design stage can have a significant impact on indoor comfort:

-Orienting the home to reduce direct solar exposure.
-Creating opportunities for cross ventilation.
-Incorporating external shading to protect windows from the summer sun.
-Using materials with high thermal mass to absorb heat during the day and release it when temperatures drop.
-Designing layouts that encourage natural airflow throughout the house.

As summers become warmer across Europe, designing with the climate rather than against it is becoming increasingly important. A well-designed home doesn't just perform better in winter, it remains comfortable throughout the year while reducing the need for mechanical cooling.

Limpertsberg, Luxembourg
5 Unit residential building
Living area 338 m²
Private Client

As construction progresses in Limpertsberg, the material palette continues to take shape.

The end-grain oak parquet has now been installed throughout the living spaces. Unlike conventional timber flooring, each block reveals the natural growth rings of the tree, creating a rich surface where every piece is unique.

End-grain flooring has long been appreciated for its exceptional durability and distinctive texture. By exposing the cross-section of the wood, it celebrates the material's natural character while offering a highly resistant surface designed to age beautifully over time.

In this project it brings warmth, depth and authenticity to the interiors, complementing the restrained architectural palette with a material that is both tactile and timeless.

A sketch is not the project. It is a way of thinking through it.

The first drawings are used to explore ideas, test proportions and understand how a home responds to its site. They allow different possibilities to be evaluated before decisions are fixed, making the design process more open and iterative.

Long before technical drawings or construction begin, sketches help organise spaces, define relationships and establish the principles that will guide the project. Many of the decisions that shape a completed home start with a simple line on paper.

"A sketch is not a representation of the project. It is a tool for thinking."

A home's environmental performance is largely defined before the first technical system is introduced.

Decisions such as orientation, solar exposure, glazing ratios, roof overhangs, natural ventilation and the composition of the building envelope establish the conditions under which mechanical systems will ultimately operate. These parameters are closely interconnected and must be considered together from the earliest stages of the design process.

Working across different climatic contexts has reinforced the importance of adapting architectural strategies to local environmental conditions rather than relying on universal solutions. Climate is not simply a constraint to respond to—it is a design parameter that influences how a home performs throughout its life.

For us, integrating these considerations from the outset allows architecture, building physics and technical systems to work as a coherent whole.

Bi-familial House
Private Client
Living Area 641 m²
Completed 2024

The project explores how two independent homes can coexist within a single architectural volume while preserving privacy, autonomy and a clear identity for each household.

Each residence has its own entrance, circulation, parking and outdoor spaces. The upper apartment is carefully positioned to protect the privacy of the lower garden and terrace, while maintaining a relationship with the surrounding landscape.

The pergola spans the terrace without intermediate columns, made possible by a reinforced concrete beam that transfers the structural load. The same structural approach continues inside the house, allowing open-plan living spaces, generous glazing and uninterrupted views towards the garden.

Meet the team — Stephanie — Architect

Originally from the United States, Stephanie studied architecture at Auburn University and Rice University before building her professional experience across Miami, Germany and Luxembourg.

For Stephanie, architecture is about turning visions and ideas into reality. This means understanding how each detail, material and construction decision can influence the character of a building and the way its spaces are perceived.

She sees architecture as part of the natural environment. A building should protect and shelter us, while keeping us connected to natural light, materials, views and the changing conditions outside.

Stephanie also values the patience behind the process. From the first client meetings to handing over the keys, each project requires technical knowledge, creativity and care.

Based in Trier for more than 20 years, she enjoys dressage riding, travelling, hiking and is a certified Wine and Culture Ambassador for the Mosel wine region.

Dondelange, Luxembourg
Single-family house
Private Client
Living Area 220 m²
Completed 2018

Built on a sloping site, the house rethinks the traditional organisation of the home to take full advantage of the landscape, natural daylight and the site's topography.

An inverted layout places the main living spaces on the upper floor, where panoramic views, generous terraces and natural light become part of everyday life. Positioning these shared spaces beneath the highest roof also allows the full ceiling volume to be expressed, creating open, light-filled interiors. The bedrooms are located on the lower level, where more intimate proportions provide a comfortable setting for private spaces.

By responding to both the site and the building's structure, the house uses its volume more efficiently while creating a home that is closely connected to its surroundings and designed around the family's daily routines.
