"Construction on the third and final phase of the Skypark Business Center (SBC) in Findel, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), is moving steadily toward completion, bringing one of Europe's largest mass-timber buildings closer to its full reveal. The 70,000-square-meter complex rises beside Luxembourg Airport as a sculptural, seven-story landmark built from more than 15,000 cubic meters of wood, an amount the team likes to equate to six Olympic-size swimming pools."
"Beyond the headline numbers, the project stands out for its unusual form. Instead of a single zig-zag structure, it comprises two stacked and rotated timber bars that slip over one another, creating a sequence of terraces, courtyards, and panoramic workspaces with views toward the runway or the nearby Grand Ducal Golf Course. all images by @corentinhaubruge An Undulating Urban Anchor Shaping Airport City's Future Edge At an urban scale, SBC anchors a key site within the Airport City Masterplan in the Niederanven municipality."
Construction on the third and final phase of the Skypark Business Center (SBC) in Findel is nearing completion, creating one of Europe's largest mass-timber buildings. The 70,000-square-meter, seven-story complex rises beside Luxembourg Airport and is constructed from more than 15,000 cubic meters of wood. The form consists of two stacked and rotated timber bars that slip over one another, producing terraces, courtyards, and panoramic workspaces oriented toward the runway or nearby golf course. The building anchors a site within the Airport City Masterplan on a long, slim 19,000-square-meter footprint and complies with a 30.5-meter height limit. A mineral parking plinth, fully glazed ground floor, and copper-clad office bars define a clear stratification that also functions as an acoustic barrier while allowing daylight, greenery, and movement through the project.
