La Cloche d'Or is part of a new generation of mixed-use, sustainable and integrated neighborhoods. Located in Luxembourg-Gasperich, this large-scale urban development combines housing, offices, shops, public amenities and green spaces in a resolutely forward-looking approach.
The sustainable approach adopted by La Cloche d'Or is expressed first and foremost in the way in which the entire district has been designed. Every detail of the site's development, from the buildings to the public spaces, has been designed to meet the demanding environmental criteria recognized by DGNB Platinum certification, one of Europe's highest distinctions for sustainable urban planning. This recognition underlines a clear commitment to building a living environment that is respectful, coherent and forward-looking.
This is reflected in the architecture of the buildings themselves. Whether residential or commercial, most boast excellent energy performance, some are BREEAM or WELL certified, and incorporate intelligent technologies, sustainable materials, centralized heating solutions and rigorous resource management. Quality of life is also expressed through bright, comfortable, often connected homes in a peaceful environment.
But it is undoubtedly in its very geography that the district most clearly asserts its sustainable vocation. The Parc de Gasperich, with its 16 hectares of greenery, is the largest green space in Luxembourg City. The lungs of the district, it provides an ecological function, a cool zone and a leisure area for residents and visitors alike. Children on bikes, morning runners, lunchtime picnickers and simple strollers come to enjoy the peace and quiet.
Mobility, too, is part of this responsible approach. The tramway, recently extended to the Cloche d'Or, links the district directly to the city center and train station. Bus routes, pedestrian walkways, bicycle paths, car-sharing solutions and electric recharging stations complete a fluid, environmentally-friendly travel offer. Here, everything is designed to ensure that getting around doesn't mean polluting, and that the car is no longer a daily necessity.
In the end, La Cloche d'Or stands out as much for its modernity as for the coherence of its vision. A district where it's possible to live, work, circulate and relax, without sacrificing comfort.
