Maison Machtum
Living between the storeys.
The house is nestled in the Moselle valley, on the border between Luxembourg and Germany, with direct access to the vineyards. The design of the house takes this unique topography into account. The main living area is conceived as an open-plan space with multiple split levels, enhancing the sense of connection to the landscape. The house does not follow a traditional storey layout; instead, the spaces are arranged along a cascading staircase landscape. A continuous band of glass runs along the main floor, visually linking the interior with the surrounding scenery.
