The building site for the senior citizen centre is influenced by different conditions: The high noise pollution from the Gösserstraße on the one side, and the beauty of the park-like estate and the religious-cultural influence of the Göss Abbey on the other side. In order to emphasise not only the protective, but also the public […]
Both indoor and outdoor swimming pool lie parallel to the river Ill, a fact which interrelates the two different water surfaces. The centre of the elongated construction is formed by an open space which provides access to all facilities. Covered by a projection, it serves as a venue for different events. The design of the […]
The museum of the town of Hartberg is situated in the medieval Steinpeißhaus.

Topics, such as distribution of space, light and sun, the balance of privacy and community, openness and closedness, are taken up and resolved in a permeable arrangement of compact buildings.

“The residential area defines a former unsettled, park-like region with particular scenic attractions. The individual constructions, clearly classifiable as social housing, occupy the site without changing its characteristics to a great extend. The arrangement of the buildings on the site creates a balance and a relation between built-up and unspoilt regions. This leads to an […]
The park as the centre of the complex is framed by the new buildings in a clear and unobtrusive way similar to a folding screen. The geometry and the simple routing calm down the structural situation and form a frame for the natural space. Natural ice rinks and ice stock rinks take up the topic of the wooden sunbathing platforms similar to rafts which are used in the summer. They are distributed along the existing routing. Thus the charm of the park pool can also be experienced during the winter.
