🌿Temperaturas Extremas has completed a 50-meter-high water reservoir and multi-species refuge in the Natura 2000-listed forest of Plateau Kirchberg, Luxembourg City. Commissioned by the Luxembourg Water Department, the structure integrates a 1,000-cubic-meter drinking water reservoir into a protected ecosystem. Divided into two cylindrical volumes, the design minimizes site impact while accommodating ecological functions. The concrete volume includes prefabricated nesting modules for swallows and a 50-meter-high nest for peregrine falcons, developed in collaboration with ornithologists and naturalists. The second volume is clad in cork for insulation and encased in untreated larch wood slats, which incorporate bat roosts and seasonal bird nests. The larch skin is designed to support vegetation growth over time, camouflaging the structure within the forest. The ground level features a permeable metal skin for protection, a green roof that extends the forest floor, and rammed earth paving. Additional features include rainwater collection systems, elevated walkways, and an observation deck for ecological monitoring and maintenance. 📸 Miguel Fernández-Galiano ✨ Join @thepaacademy’s workshops to learn the most advanced tools in architecture from pioneering architects and designers! #ParametricArchitecture #TemperaturasExtremas #LuxembourgCity #EcologicalInfrastructure #Natura2000 #BirdHabitat #SustainableArchitecture #ConcreteDesign #WoodArchitecture
