Eine Sanierung des Montforthauses aus den 1970er Jahren war nach eingehender Prüfung nicht sinnvoll. Stattdessen erfolgte der Neubau eines Konzert- und Kongresshauses an derselben Stelle. Beim europaweiten Wettbewerb überzeugte der Entwurf von Hascher Jehle und Mitiska Wäger Architekten mit sensibler Modellierung des Volumens ins Altstadtgefüge.

Schule und Dorfsaal wurden oberhalb des Kirchplatzes von Laterns neu gebaut. Die einfachen, kompakten Bauten fügen sich selbstverständlich in die Dorfstruktur. Errichtet wurden die Passivhäuser mit Fichten- und Weißtannenholz aus dem gemeindeeigenen Wald.

The new community center and the new fire station create an attractive ensemble for the village at the road to the Montafon and corresponds harmoniously with the surroundings.

The center development project, currently the largest in Götzis, is worth a visit.
It aims to combine aspects of living, working, residing in an urban atmosphere and high quality.

The village centre is enriched by the café and bakery CaBaKo which is located on the ground floor of the rehearsal studio. The sanitary facilities are cleverly used together with the clubs.

Koblach’s new center is formed by the town hall complying with passive energy standards and the village square with the village well. The two levels of the spacious and traffic free village square are connected by wide stairways and ramps.

The wooden house accommodates the kindergarten and club rooms. The roof of the fire brigade’s massive, concrete vehicle hall is a play area for children. This is a formative building for the village in every aspect.

The multipurpose building with a panoramic view is built on the site of the fire station. The old building forms the torso of the new building. The cube’s exterior wall of the rooms along the street is kept simple.

The four-storey solitary building made of timber and complying with passive energy standards unites the community center, the town hall, the kindergarten and the village shop on the steep southern slope in the Great Walser Valley.

A long story of disputes was put to a happy end. The outstanding and even exemplary result was achieved by the construction of a Kindergarten, a cafe, a civic hall and food market.

Veranstaltungssaal und Kindergarten in Dornbirn

The small shop with an elegant tasting room combines a Montafon house with the passion for fine spirits. The distillery and the workshop on the ground floor evoke the image of a small working machine.

The distillation of fruit brandies is an art form. A modern building component that is attached to the down-to-earth Montafonerhaus with a ribbon of glass provides the prerequisites.

In the center of Dornbirn the glass facade of the extension suggests something special behind. A spacious atrium opens up to twenty-one apartments as a semi-public zone.

The main premises of the textile company F.M. Hämmerle shine with a new gleam. Two-storey apartments, lofts, practices, offices and commercial establishments have revitalized this central area. The careful renovation of the neoclassical building was complemented by the addition of new parts in copper skin.

The positioning of the four organically shaped buildings with a total of 76 apartments arises from the interplay of the topography, the incidence of light and the geometry. The parts of the complex are playfully arranged like waves and thus a shadow-free position to each other is guaranteed.

The community center Ludesch is an example from the textbook for dedicated sustainable construction by using only local timber, renewable raw materials and strictly non-toxic materials based on the approach of regional value enhancement.

The privileged location directly on Lake Constance and right in the center of Bregenz determines the orientation of the buildings. The whole complex consists of three buildings offering a total of 54 apartments. The apartments that are set on a base can be reached by porches whereas the apartments facing west have loggias.

The strengths of the corner house located in the traffic-reduced center of Bregenz are the outdoor areas and the great quality of living. It features a facade of glass and aluminium, a spacious entrance hall, offices on the ground floor and apartments on the upper floors.

The angular exterior made of gray gravel concrete contrasts with the warm wooden interior construction. A lateral access zone with a wardrobe, a library and a bar confines the newly created village square. The actual height of the new building is only visible from the valley below.

The same handwriting can be recognized in all new buildings – the kindergarten, the café and the grocery store. The location and the created clearances form the exemplary village center of Langenegg fulfilling the highest claim for ecological and energy minimization.

An urban atmosphere can be enjoyed in the bar, in the lounge or in the restaurant at the business centre "Element” which has the largest conservatory of Vorarlberg.

The cultural centre and office building Schoppernau unites a bank, a tourism office, a hairstylist, a local ensemble, a library and a museum. Untreated silver fir, continuous asphalt floor and ceiling high glazing are the attributes of the new building which blends in perfectly with the existing village structure.

Der futuristische Baukörper in silberfarbener Fiberglashaut mit leuchtenden Rot- und Orangeakzenten erinnert an ein Flugobjekt. Terminal V dockt an den Bürotrakt des Wohnbauträgers an, potenziellen Wohnungskäufern wird im Inneren die zukünftige Wohnwelt visualisiert.

The landmark protected farmhouse has been carefully renovated and the store at the ground floor is now dedicated to wine. The stable next door has been rebuilt from the basement walls and now houses a tax accountancy office.

The residential and commercial building is literally "fitted into” the old town of Feldkirch. Because only its facade is visible in the narrow lane, it can only be "experienced”.

The driveway and the garage of the fire station are on the lower level and are made of concrete and steel. The access to the Culture Center – an entirely wooden construction – is on the upper floor where the event hall, the rehearsal rooms and the exhibition space of the Women's Museum are located.

Culture is represented in the modern construction of wooden elements and the integrated fire brigade is technically reflected in concrete, steel and glass. The different definitions of the front and backside of the building increase this polarization.

The workshop and residential building of a former textile company fulfilled all the requirements for a town hall due to its location at the town centre. The course of the Mühlebach flowing below the three-storey hall is noticeable throughout the building. While the glazed front construction provides access to a public service zone, the back part of it accommodates the offices, the meeting rooms as well as the seminar and lecture room.

The two-story house in the Rheintalhaus in Mühlebach, a very old part of Dornbirn, has been "excellently" renovated. The old part of the building had to remain in use as a guest house; in the new building you can visit the architect of this project.

The strict dark bulk which is covered in slates is not only the convention hall of the rapidly expanding city Wolfurt but also its new centre.

The spacious square with the long narrow reception building hides the extent of the cultural centre. The combination of the old depot, which houses a restaurant, and the new building used for concerts and exhibitions is thus highlighted perfectly.

The municipal building adapts skilfully to the terrain. The south-eastern part - the fire station - follows the course of the road, and the community hall is located at the ground level. The Mayor’s office, the family counselling center and the rehearsal studio are upstairs.

Die üppige Form des Rundbaus hat mit der inneren Funktion zu tun: Verbreiterung zur Bühne und die Wölbung an der Decke haben direkte akustische Auswirkungen. Auffällig rot sitzt der Baukörper inmitten von interessanten öffentlichen Gebäuden der Gemeinde, die in einem Jahrzehnt entstanden sind...
