Staticus has signed a contract to design, manufacture and deliver the unitised façade for The Roots, a new office development in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg. Developed by BPI Real Estate and designed by ArtBuild, the project marks Staticus’ first project in the Luxembourg market, supporting a growing demand for verifiable sustainability and high-quality office environments.
Targeting BREEAM Excellent, The Roots reflects a clear intent to future-proof the asset through credible sustainability performance, architectural quality, and long-term value. Staticus’ scope includes approximately 2,500 m² of fully prefabricated unitised façade, supporting these ambitions through early design optimisation, low-carbon materials, and measurable carbon outcomes.
Turning sustainability commitments into measurable delivery
Iva Ostra Hospital is a complex healthcare project where reliability, durability, and operational continuity are essential. Staticus will contribute to these goals through high quality and robust solutions, supported by precise engineering and proven delivery capability.
The project requires careful coordination to meet architectural intent, performance targets, and budget requirements – while ensuring efficient production and installation for a critical public facility.
A dual façade strategy supporting performance and sustainability
In Luxembourg, many sustainability targets remain voluntary – increasing the reputational and reporting risk for developers who choose to lead. BPI Real Estate has positioned itself as a frontrunner by setting clear environmental goals ahead of regulation.
Staticus supports this approach by helping translate intent into verifiable results, including live tracking of embodied carbon performance through our Staticus XD tool. This provides transparency during design and delivery, supporting BREEAM certification, ESG reporting, and future asset disclosure requirements.
Low-carbon façade design without compromising architectural intent
ArtBuild’s façade concept balances contemporary elegance with performance, using warm tones and crisp framing of glazed areas. To reduce embodied carbon, the unitised façade will incorporate low-carbon aluminium with more than 75% post-consumer scrap, significantly lowering material impact compared to conventional systems.
Key façade features include:
- Champagne-toned powder-coated aluminium frames
- Warm white metal sheet applications defining glazed zones
- Integrated opening vents for occupant comfort
- External motorised venetian blinds across all units, supporting energy performance in use
Designing with intent: reducing carbon through material efficiency
Beyond material selection, the project focused on material reduction and system efficiency – an often overlooked but critical lever in lowering embodied carbon without increasing cost or complexity.
“Having a client who shares our culture and always strives to improve and to be one step ahead is a pure pleasure. Together with BPI and CLE, we challenged the design from the outset – reducing carbon not only through low-carbon materials, but also through smarter use of material, while fully respecting ArtBuild’s architectural intent,” says Susanne di Iulio, Central Europe Regional Director at Staticus.
Programme certainty and next steps
Production is scheduled for summer 2026, with installation following later that year and completion targeted for 2027.
For Staticus, The Roots represents more than a first project in Luxembourg. It demonstrates how developers can de-risk sustainability ambitions, protect asset value, and deliver ambitious environmental performance through early collaboration, responsible materials, and precise execution.
