Luxembourg’s first WELL Building Standard® certified office building
Well 22 is also the first building in Luxembourg to be equipped with a BOS (Building Operating System). Among other things, this system controls all technical and consumption management, depending on the actual occupation of the offices.
SMART
SMART Buildings serving users
Well 22 is the first building in Luxembourg equipped with a BOS (Building Operating System) and provides all users with a Smart Building application. It responds to new trends and facilitates a healthy life-work balance. Among other things, it manages parking spots and electric car charging sessions, and can reserve meeting rooms or tables at a restaurant.
We have greatly appreciated our collaboration with IKO Real Estate, which shares the same ecological awareness as our agency. Our discussions were always constructive and gave us a great deal. We could always rely on the teams’ responsiveness, and work in complete confidence.

WELL Building Standard®
WELL 22 was designed according to the WELL Building Standard®. This involves measuring, certifying and monitoring the performance of the built environment, whose characteristics influence the health, comfort, productivity and well-being of the building's occupants./--/uploads/2022/10/image-37-e1664803641343.png)

Developing the first Smart Building in Luxembourg was a real technical challenge.
An innovative building from the energy and environmental point of view, and the importance of well-being at work.
Well 22 innovates with new generation offices in Howald.
As well as its technical and environmental aspects and fine location, Well 22 offers a wide variety of workspaces. These can be easily adjusted to employees’ different needs throughout the day.
The ground floor is designed as a warm and friendly space for get-togethers. Without leaving the building, occupants can make the most of a pleasant spot away from it all to eat with colleagues or receive clients. An attractive terrace with a view of nature encourages relaxation, in line with the building’s health and well-being goal.
On the upper floors, we have designed various workspaces so that everyone can find a place that fits their current needs. This is also an effective way of stimulating teams’ creativity. For example, on the third floor, in addition to classic coworking, you will find phone boxes for telephone or video calls, 8 stations dedicated to concentration, dialogue areas for improvised meetings, workshop zones, coffee corners and meeting rooms.
