on Tour

Die Schule aus den 1960er Jahren wurde modernisiert. Der Bestandskomplex aus den 1960ern wurde mit Ausnahme der Turnhalle abgerissen und durch eine offen strukturierte "Clusterschule" ersetzt, die modernen baulichen, ökologischen und pädagogischen Standards gerecht wird.

Das spanische Studio schichtet rohe, unbehandelte Eichenbretter zu einem Holzverschlag. Es entsteht ein geschützter, alle Sinne anregender Raum.

Zwei kompakte Baumassen mit gleicher Funktion und doch unterschiedlichen Rahmenbedingungen: 'Am Garnmarkt 10' sollte als Eigentum attraktiv sein, während 'Am Garnmarkt 20' die Vorschriften für den gemeinnützigen Wohnbau einhält. Jede Wohneinheit hat eine uneinsichtige Terrasse. Die Außenraumqualität ist dadurch hoch, es entstehen großzügige Spielflächen.

Ein bescheidener Zweckbau in Holzschalung mit entscheidendem Mehrwert für den Ortsteil Thal: Die Fahrzeughalle öffnet sich über die komplett verglaste Fassade zum Gasthaus Krone und schafft damit einen eigenständigen Platz im Dorfgefüge.

A modern building concept for architecture, art, gastronomy and a bookshop as well as unobtrusively attached apartments preserve the memory of the "Alte Naturschau” even after the renovation.

A new inner-city district was created with the redesign of the centre of Dornbirn around the City Hall and the residential and office buildings of the former Ulm-area. This high-density district responds with individual cubes to the villas of the neighborhood, the cemetery and the Mohren-Brewery. The high-rise will be rebuilt and extended by seven condominiums.

Die Zentrale der Landesbank steht am Kreuzungspunkt der Hauptverkehrsstraße. Das verglaste Erdgeschoß öffnet sich mit einspringender Ecke und großzügigen Foyer zur Fußgängerzone. Ein Raster aus großen, vorspringenden Fensterkörpern lenkt den Blick in die Obergeschoße, in denen Büros untergebracht sind.

The Schwarzenberger Heimatmuseum (museum of local history) and the exhibition hall for the artist Angelika Kauffmann (1741-1897) are connected by a shared foyer. The character of the original peasant Althaus (1556) has been preserved and adapted to the contemporary demands of a museum.

The first stage of the expansion and transformation of the construction that had been built in 1979 was conducted in 1992 and it was finally finished in 2006. The two huge rod-shaped building elements divide the complex into a studio and workshop stage, a large hall and a stage at the lakeside. The generous urban square in front conveys international flair not only at times of festivals.

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.

Despite of the hose tower, the vehicle depot and command center on the ground floor, the building is not only used "monoculturally”. The cantilevered top floor made of wood accommodates the training rooms and the crew area of the mountain rescue team, which can be accessed via a separate staircase.

The feel-good-atmosphere is conveyed by the materials – reinforced concrete and wood – as well as by the properties – clarity and transparency – in a modern architectural language. Further contributions to the village life and its locations are the rooms for two groups of kindergarten children on the ground floor and a music rehearsal room on the first floor.

The former machine factory has turned into an interactive exhibition of nature. The museum is situated within the idyllic city park that has been designed by landscape architects. A visit of the current exhibition of kunstraum Dornbirn located in the opposite factory hall is recommended.

The school building is an entirely wooden construction complying with passive energy standards. A two-storey cross bar accommodating the library and the auditorium forms an acoustic barrier to protect the classrooms and the green schoolyard from the street.

The addition of storeys and the extension made of wooden elements are integrated into the complex school building without any visible break. This extensive education center not only provides adequate room for about 1,000 pupils with the new large development area.

Die Gebäude mit den einzelnen Funktionen wie Hochregallager und Transformator wirken skulptural in der von den Landschaftsarchitekten Rotzler Krebs gestalteten Umgebung. In der Nacht lässt die hinterleuchtete Fassade das Gebäude hell-transparent wirken und relativiert somit die Schwere des profanen Zweckbaus.

The elongated single-storey structure with three common rooms is facing south. The two-storey head-end structure featuring embedded glass details accommodates the kitchen, the spare room and the office. The versatility of the rooms varying in height and dimension casually train children’s visual perception of space.

The Berghaus and Hotel Stützpunkt Bielerhöhe are located within the wild mountain scenery above the lake. Its form clearly relates to the local topography and the dam. It is an individual statement about the building style in the Alps.
