Project Case Study
Confluence Property
We enhance this protected property with its rich historical façade by converting unused attics into profitable living spaces. Maintaining an independent rear storage facility, this intelligent space and fire-safety optimisation significantly improves asset yield near the Moselle and Sûre rivers.
Overview
This project concerned the deep restructuring of a historic mixed-use building in Wasserbillig. The brief was to transform previously unused attic space into housing, improve the existing rental apartments, and preserve the functioning of the depot at ground level.
Constraints
The project combined several layers of difficulty: a protected façade under INPA supervision, strict CGDIS fire safety requirements, and a complex municipal roof profile limiting the use of the attic volume.
Approach
We developed the project through a precise architectural and regulatory strategy. The stair core was separated from the vehicle passage to isolate evacuation flows, while a Cabrio roof glazing ensured secondary fire escape. A careful, respectful approach to the existing building helped maximise the value, while establishing trust with the authorities. The new floating balconies and dormers increase the rental quality of the apartments, while keeping the budget under control.
Results
The restructuring delivered the renovation of 6 apartments, the creation of a new 75 m² apartment in the attic, 2 offices, a flexible depot, new balconies and terraces, and a revised parking arrangement. An intelligent fire design strategy also generated approximately €30,000 in savings by avoiding unnecessarily complex automatic extinguishing systems.
