卢森堡建筑事务所2001完成了位于南部Mondorf-les-bains的一栋独栋混凝土住宅Hercule。住宅名称取自当地英雄人物John Hercule Gruen，象征着他坚强有力的个人形象。建筑体量像冰山山尖一样从地面冒出：住宅借助设计的力量，完美地融入老农舍与乡村别墅之间的场地中。

Luxembourg-based architectural practice, 2001, has completed Hercule, a monolithic concrete single-family house in Mondorf-les-bains, in the South of Luxembourg.Named after local hero John “Hercule” Gruen for its robust strength, the volume emerges fiercely from the ground like the tip of an iceberg: the stepping of the plot, a residual portion of land situated between an old farm-house and a suburban villa, drove the design, breathing a strong sense of grounding into the site.

立面采用了不同的操作手法，南面光滑的混凝土墙作为上两层的支撑结构，从而无需使用立柱。北面在面向花园的部分开敞，通过不同构造的窗户形成不同的景观元素。朝向街道和花园的东西立面采用反光玻璃幕墙，反射周边的自然肌理，使住宅融入到自然环境之中。

Different approaches define the façades. To the south, a blind béton brut wall works as a beam for the upper two floors, in order to prevent the need for a column in the living room, while the north elevation presents punctual openings onto the garden, framing different landscape elements through furniture-windows. The east and west façades, oriented towards the street and the garden, are treated as curtain walls with a solar protective glass. Reflecting both suburban and landscape contexts, the house blends in with its surroundings.
