The Solar Dome and its Chrysalis, a Jewel Nestled in a Stone Vessel
First Prize Winner of the International Competition, City of Luxembourg
In October 2016, Vincent Callebaut Architectures was named first prize winner of the international competition with its project "Metamorphosis of the Hotel des Postes". The two-phase competition was launched in December 2015 by POST Luxembourg, the historic owner of the building. In June 2017, the Ministry of the Economy (Ministry of POST Supervision) and the City of Luxembourg validated - by agreement in principle - the shape of the dome culminating at 35.5 meters, instead of the initial 40 meters. Project programming is still under discussion by local authorities. The VCA's project has been finally abandoned.
