Luxembourg-based architectural practice, 2001, has completed Hercule, a monolithic concrete single-family house in Mondorf-les-bains, in the South of Luxembourg.

Named after local hero John “Hercule” Gruen for its robust strength, the volume emerges fiercely from the ground like the tip of an iceberg: the stepping of the plot, a residual portion of land situated between an old farm-house and a suburban villa, drove the design, breathing a strong sense of grounding into the site.
