Elegant and efficient: Low energy home added to the city of Luxemburg

Modern design, whether it is that of the interiors or the exterior structure itself, has taken up ‘minimalism’ as one of its key traits. No matter where you look at these days, designers and architects are busy using glass, wood and unassuming walls that are mostly neutral in color to design homes and condos across the globe. It seems to be the trend of this decade and just like the ‘bright and dazzling shades’ typified the Retro. But there are more advantages to minimalism and smart, ergonomic design than just aesthetics.

Low Energy House by Steinmetz De Meyer Architects

Construction of modern homes focuses as much on saving raw material, using the cost effective means of construction and incorporating energy-saving features in the final structure as it does on pleasing the eye. This beautiful modern house in Luxemburg was designed by Steinmetz De Meyer Architects and it seamlessly integrates elegant style with efficient design. The structure itself is laced by various interior spaces that mix and merge with one another to create a feeling of extended space. The tall floor-to-ceiling glass windows allow the green lawn outside to become a visual extension of your living space.

The design and the orientation of the house is planned in fashion that allows its residents to make maximum use of natural lighting and hence reduce energy bills required for lighting. The home will also work as the best possible natural insulator and hence will cut down on your heating and cooling needs to an extent. Add to this a wooden deck, a wonderful pool and a possibility of adding a solar rooftop in the future and you have a cool house that is waiting to be turned into a home filled with warmth!
