WHY
As a result of an ongoing trend, more and more people want to live in central locations, in urban areas with short distances. Consequently, available space is becoming scarce, and densification with quality is becoming a major challenge. Affordable options are also becoming increasingly rare. That’s why standardised construction is coming to the fore.

WHO IS
Steve Krack is a Luxembourgish designer who specializes in projects in an urban context.
Passionate about design from an early age, he set up his first company in 1998, specialising in heritage reconstruction and renovation. He gradually moved away from the construction and renovation sector before committing himself, in the years 2010–2013, to a more experimental path, that of new avant-garde and modern concepts. His “Raw Warm” style respects the soul of a building, letting the existing raw material transform into a true living space. He created Graace Hotel, transforming former industrial workshops into a 30-suite hotel from 2017–2020. He is currently working on his new design for a Mobile Housing Module, a lightweight, modular construction designed not to impact on the remaining land.
