Design of ArcelorMittal's new headquarters
ArcelorMittal and the “Fonds d’Urbanisation et d’Aménagement du Plateau de Kirchberg” recently announced that the architectural practice Wilmotte & Associés Architectes is the winner of the architectural consultation to design ArcelorMittal’s new global headquarters building in Luxembourg.
The project will represent the use of steel in sustainable construction, highlighting the diverse benefits of steel solutions over other building materials. The new headquarters will be constructed using a suspended steel exoskeleton and will feature the full range of environmental innovations, including solar power generation, rain water management and automatic window opening for natural ventilation. With 15 above ground, 2 partially above ground and 2 underground storeys, it also features a bioclimatic public atrium, ventilated by a Canadian Well system, which naturally cools the air in summer and heats it in winter.

“What I personally love is that this building visibly features steel, which is so often hidden from view. In fact, we believe that no other building of this size and scale has been designed specifically to feature steel throughout. Wilmotte & Associés have developed a truly innovative design that shows how beautiful steel is.” Aditya Mittal.

The W&A design responds to ArcelorMittal's desire to have a sustainable building that promotes steel's contribution to the circulate economy. The building follows the 'cradle-to-cradle' concept. It can be dismantled and nearly all the steel products can be re-used in a new building without the need for recycling.
