An exceptionally panoramic living experience awaits the future residents of the Jodersmatt Bennenegg development in Lucerne. The Tschuepis area is located on the western edge of the settlement of Littau, close to the town centre. The future urban expansion envisages a residential development that extends to the edge of the slope on the plateau of the Littau settlement area. The «Frühling» project by the team led by Lütolf and Scheuner Architekten won the study contract from the WGL housing cooperative. They are developing two compact U-shaped building volumes for the 99 flats, which have four storeys on the valley side and three storeys on the courtyard side. A natural landscape surrounds the new residential buildings.
«The qualities of the project proposal in all relevant assessment criteria are impressive and convincing, in particular the high quality of living and the two-sided orientation of all the units as well as the good views from the majority of them,» was the jury’s verdict.
The structural concept in timber-concrete mixed construction, developed by the Lucerne-based structural planners from LÜCHINGER MEYER PARTNER in collaboration with Pirmin Jung Switzerland, was also explicitly praised: «The optimised spans, reduced ceiling thicknesses, concrete columns and featured pergolas in concrete elements together with the prefabricated façade elements in timber construction are economical, energy-efficient, resource-saving and enable a short construction time.»
