THE PROJECT

Reconnecting with yourself, others and nature

En lisière de la ville de Mamer, c’est au cœur d’un espace naturel préservé que se dessine le nouveau quartier Liewen, sur une surface de trois hectares.

With a focus on the people who live there, Liewen offers high-quality individual and communal spaces, optimally integrated into the existing environment. Liewen also gives pride of place to nature, with omnipresent green spaces for a calm environment.

A green and sustainable environment, resolutely focused on nature

Si Liewen est un lieu où il fait bon vivre, c’est avant tout parce que la nature y occupe une place centrale. Le quartier établit un doux équilibre entre minéral et végétal, avec de nombreux arbres, jardins et autres espaces paysagers. Construit sur une surface de trois hectares en lisière de la ville de Mamer, Liewen offre une qualité de vie exceptionnelle, alliant convivialité et tranquillité de la campagne.

QUALITY OF LIFE

Hearing your children laugh outside and inventing
new stories

Liewen was designed with the focus of attention on human beings. To ensure comfort, user-friendliness and safety for all, many innovative concepts have been implemented.

Firstly, all users, pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, share the same area, without distinction in terms of surface, with the aim of limiting car traffic. The parking spaces in the residences are quickly accessible, as soon as you enter the district, so that the rest of the site is reserved for soft mobility. Also, rigorous work has been carried out to avoid long linear perspectives, both in terms of buildings, streets and infrastructure. Everything is on a human scale, punctuated by harmonious recesses or by the placement of natural elements. This approach gives the project an organic character.

Two common squares, linked by a pedestrian walkway, contribute to the friendly atmosphere of the neighbourhood. The first, more mineral, is a meeting place, helping to develop a community. Its benches, of different heights, are invitations to stop, sit down and chat with neighbours. This square can host a food truck or ice cream parlour and can be transformed for neighbourhood festivals.

Le deuxième espace commun est dédié aux petits et aux familles. Plus vert, il est à l’abri de toute circulation. Les éléments de l’aire de jeux invitent chacun à s’amuser tandis que les arbres fruitiers entretiennent le lien avec la nature. Avec la volonté de préserver ce patrimoine remarquable, le quartier établit un doux équilibre entre minéral et végétal, avec de nombreux arbres et jardins.

A word from town planner Dewey Muller

"Urban planning meets certain basic quality criteria: respect for the existing topography, conservation and development of existing nature, a diverse mobility network giving priority to soft mobility, mixed housing, original public spaces (central village square, tree-shaded play area, tree-lined peripheral roads, car-free main alley, green fringes), a succession of view sequences and creatively-scaled spaces (i.e. not vast)."
