One on One

Moreno Architecture & Associés, Luxembourg

Boasting outstanding visibility at 1 Esch Road, one of the main roads leading into the city center of Luxembourg city, One on One office building has outstanding lines. Its cramped ground, at the corner of the rue des Jardiniers, inspired its characteristic silhouette, composed of twelve staggered superposed volumes.

One on One is a new architectural reference in the Luxembourg landscape. Its impressive glass and stainless steel envelope is supported by a steel structure defying the laws of gravity. This original design, made possible by the expertise of the developer IKO, enables large interior surfaces, more flexible and more open to the outside. The result is 3 000 square meters of offices on 6 easily convertible floors. In addition, its 154 square meters of terraces at each level offer unique views of the city 

One on One is BREEAM Excellent certified with an impressive score of 72.10%, a result so remarkable that it will soon be the subject of a case study on the BREEAM site. It was selected by the European Commission and the Mies van der Rohe Foundation to represent Luxembourg at the prestigious European Union Contemporary Architecture Award - Mies van der Rohe Award 2017. In June 2016, the building was awarded the Bauhärepräis of the Order of Architects and Engineers-Consultants of Luxembourg in the category “administrative building, workplace.” This coveted architectural award is awarded every four years. The jury praised “the proposed urban solution and its very strong architectural translation.” It is true that the silhouette of the building leaves no one indifferent and imposes itself as an architectural reference in Luxembourg City.
