The water tower is located in south-western part of Luxembourg near to the Belgian border and main route between Luxembourg and Buxelles. It is situated at highest point of a hilly virgin countryside. The main idea was to create a simple geometrical form visible from all around. These conditions have brought a solution how to insert this large installation in harmony with sorrounding nature. The principle was, that this cone covered by shiny metallic shell will always adapt itself to the changing conditions of light, seasons and weather. For example it will appear and shine in sun, but disappear in cloudy sky. Specific material and detail solutions give this base form made by man an opportunity to stay in harmony with landscape and complete it. Total volume of water underground: 15.000 m3 Level of water underground = 400,70 m sur N.N. Total volume of water in tower: 2.000 m3 Level of water in tower = 424,00 m sur N.N.
