Post Luxembourg Headquarters Luxembourg
This building opposite the buzzing intersection of the country’s international commuter traffic - Luxembourg central rail station - brings together all business activities and central services of Post Luxembourg, the country’s largest employer. No fewer than 1,000 people work here in the 2,370 m2 of this versatile and user-friendly building, whose design reflects the horizontal organisational structure of the national postal and telecoms service provider.
A massive spiral staircase in the equally impressive central atrium makes it easy for staff to move around between departments. It also connects to lounges, R&R facilities and fitness spaces, all of which make a valuable contribution to company culture. These interactions also continue outside the building, with the insightful solution of conserving the facade of the neighbouring building to provide continuity with the contemporary features of the new building designed by Luxembourgbased Metaform Architects. Solar panels, rainwater harvesting, highperformance glazing and active tile air conditioning have all contributed to the building being awarded German DGNB Platinum environmental certification.
A giant 2,110 m3 ice storage system used in conjunction with heat recovery from the data centre allows the building to operate with no air conditioning or boilers.
