on Tour

A group of different types of training and care facilities are part of a large school district in the centre of Dornbirn. The small gym, which was built during the late 19th Century, and the new Special Education Centre complement each other. The latter and the adjacent elementary school encompass a courtyard which connects to the middle school at the west side. Fair-faced concrete characterizes the exterior, whereas birch plywood dominates the interior. Colored surfaces and beautiful lighting are further distinctive features.

The bridge support structure, which is made of concrete, ensures the safe passage of pedestrians and cyclists; it also moves the supporting structure upwards, and the irregularly arranged diagonal tension and compression rods form an open bridge house.

The western wing of the LKH Feldkirch is terminated by the extension in black cladding which can only be observed from outside. The layering of the materials and the function remain hidden on the inside.

The fire station right in the centre of Weiler combines features of the landmark "Ritterhaus” and a barn. Harmonious integration into the village center was achieved by careful restoration and an exciting juxtaposition of old and new.

The solitary building made of clay is opened by a heavy oak door. Light passes through narrow slits into the funeral parlour, which completely dispenses with decorative accessory.

Forschung, Produktion und Verwaltung finden im S.I.E Gebäude im Milleniumpark Lustenau gleichsam Platz. Die flachen Hierarchien spiegeln sich im Entwurf. Das Gebäude wurde mit dem Österreichischen Staatspreis für Architektur 2003 ausgezeichnet.

The cleverly constructed viewing slots characterizing the rehearsal studio of the local music club Zwischenwasser provide a visual link to the outside and at the same time guarantee seclusion for concentrated rehearsals. It represents a "walk-in instrument" which was awarded the Vorarlberg Holzbaupreis in 2004.

A cladding of wooden slats defines the glass cube. At night, the room shines like a large lantern and is easily visible from a distance.
