Energy-intensive building

The town planning party is based on the Kirchberg Fund's urban planning plan, whereby the street fronts are defined by the four-storey building. In the European quarter there are many buildings of very large size, not conducive to creating a pleasant atmosphere for pedestrians. This project has a great desire to be on a human scale. The four volumes have a strong presence on the street but constitute a small town block, with a pleasant green courtyard in the center, intended for the users of the building but open to the public. The arrangement of the volumes was organized in such a way as to have different zones inside the garden, thus creating an interesting path.

The arrangement of the volumes also allows each person to have great escapes of view from his workstation to the inner garden, but also to the adjacent streets.

The façades are made up of solid and void, recalling a human dimension. Each window corresponds to a place of work, an office ... The rhythm of the openings varies according to the orientations. So there are more fills in the facade exposed to the sun than in the unexposed façade. The perforations thus pass from 29% in South-West facade up to 56% of opening on the North-East facade.

Environmental quality and low energy requirements have always been at the basis of our architectural and technical choices (green roof, rainwater recovery, photovoltaic panels, etc.). The building is very well insulated, it benefits from its mass of inertia to regulate The interior temperatures. In order to minimize the heating system, there is a closed-loop aquifer system integrated into the concrete slab using heat / fresh soil for preheating (winter) and pre-cooling (in summer)

The building received BREEAM "excellent" certification, especially for the health and wellness sectors

Owner approach of sustainability

In 2008, the contractor organized an international competition between architectural offices. The requirements of the contracting authority in this competition were largely based on sound and sustainable construction, and were described in detail in the specifications. Thus the use of certain products that could be considered harmful in the future were proscribed already at the beginning of the design. The building owner wanted a building that was open to the neighborhood, a site that participates in the life of the neighborhood. The site had to be accessible to all people walking, and even a pedestrian way connecting the old district of Kirchberg and the new district. The building had to be on a human scale, pleasant to live. The requirement to receive BREEAM EXCELLENT certification was known at the start of the competition, as was the requirement to build a building that would not require major maintenance during the first 50 years of life. Economy and quality were equally important.

Architectural description

The urban planning part is based on the general urban plan of the Kirchberg Fund, by which the fronts of the street are defined by the location of the four volumes of the building. In the European quarter there are many buildings of very large size, not conducive to creating a pleasant atmosphere for pedestrians. This project has a great desire to be on a human scale. The four volumes have a strong presence on the street but constitute a small town block, with a pleasant green courtyard in the center, intended for the users of the building but open to the public. The arrangement of the volumes was organized in such a way as to have different zones inside the garden, thus creating an interesting path. The arrangement of the volumes also allows each person to have great escapes of view from his workstation to the inner garden, but also to the adjacent streets. The façades are made up of solid and void, recalling a human dimension. Each window corresponds to a place of work, an office ... The rhythm of the openings varies according to the orientations. So there are more fills in the facade exposed to the sun than in the unexposed façade. The perforations thus pass from 29% in South-West facade up to 56% of opening on the North-East facade. Environmental quality and low energy requirements have always been at the basis of our architectural and technical choices (green roof, rainwater recovery, photovoltaic panels, etc.). The building is very well insulated, it benefits from its mass of inertia to regulate The interior temperatures. In order to minimize the heating system, there is a closed-loop aquifer system integrated into the concrete slab using its heat / coolness for pre-heating (in winter) and pre-cooling (in summer). BREEAM certification "excellent", especially for the "health" and "well-being" sectors
