Material and context in harmony
As part of the renovation and expansion of the "Um Bock" School in Differdange, Luxembourg, additional classrooms, a modern library, and new administrative spaces were added.
The new building structure was clad with over 3,200 m² of concrete skin panels. Warm tones such as terracotta, coralline, oxide red, and burgundy were used, blending seamlessly into the surrounding environment. The red shades of the facade are inspired by the distinctive red soil of the Minett region, establishing a strong contextual link to the local landscape. Photos: Steve Troes
