A fish?!?! That's what the client must have said to XPACE architecture + urban design when they proposed their idea for his new house extension. The new building is an extension to the private house of a sculptor in Luxemburg, providing a studio, a relaxation and wellness area with a sauna, and a viewing terrace. The studio is housed in the garden storey, half-sunk space is shielded against the hill slope by an angled, exposed concrete wall. Due to its full-height, openable glass façade facing the garden, the studio can also be used as an outside working area. A copper-coated, two-storey air space additionally lends the relatively small studio space a surprising spaciousness. The elevated position of the upper storey, nestled amongst the treetops, provides a beautiful vista over the park-like private garden. The roof, constructed as a sundeck and affording an open view onto the Kirchberg and the surrounding landscape, forms the upper surround of the house.
