Maison à Strassen
Luxembourg
Architecture with purpose
Located in Strassen, Luxembourg, Maison à Strassen is a private residence that reflects a clear and deliberate architectural vision by Petitcarrée Architectes. The home is designed with a strong emphasis on spatial coherence, material integrity, and functional elegance. The architecture favours openness and flow, with carefully proportioned volumes and a muted palette that allows the space to breathe. Natural light is invited in through generous openings, animating the interior and reinforcing the calm, contemplative atmosphere. Every detail—from the layout to the finishes—has been considered to support a lifestyle of quiet sophistication and comfort. Maison à Strassen is not defined by excess or ornament, but by the clarity of its design language. It is a home that speaks softly, yet with confidence, offering a refined living experience rooted in architectural integrity.
Lighting that complements and elevates
In Maison à Strassen, lighting plays a vital role in shaping the atmosphere and enhancing the architectural clarity of the space. The lighting concept features a selection of Kreon luminaires that integrate seamlessly into the design, supporting both function and aesthetic. Holon 40 directional recessed fixtures provide focused illumination, guiding movement and drawing attention to key architectural elements. Aplis in-line 40 downlights offer ambient lighting that blends discreetly into the ceiling, preserving visual purity. The addition of up 40 circular fixtures introduces sculptural accents that add depth and softness to the interior. A key feature in transitional zones such as corridors and circulation areas is the use of side in-line 40. These fixtures cast a gentle wash of light across the floor, subtly guiding movement and enhancing spatial orientation without visual clutter. Each luminaire is positioned with precision, contributing to a layered lighting scheme that reinforces the home’s calm and cohesive character. Photographed by Serge Brison, the residence demonstrates how architecture and light can work in harmony—elevating everyday living through thoughtful design.
