on Tour

Das denkmalgeschützte Haus mit markantem Treppengiebel auf der Westseite ist eines der ältesten Häuser in der Stadt (teilweise Mitte 15. Jhdt.). Der Fachwerkbau wurde durch Sanierung, Umbau und Erweiterung um einen Neubau aus Sichtbeton zum modernen Ensemble für "Gemeinsames Wohnen".

A mansion-like annex next to the park of the Palais Thurn und Taxis extends the gymnasium that has been existing for 100 years. Although the buildings are connected in the basement, the complex is made exceptionally attractive by the courtyards.

The museum naturally matches the adjacent cultural buildings in height and volume and expands the newly designed grain market towards the lake with the buckled south-west façade.

Vier Baukörper um einen zentralen Platz, fünfgeschossig zur stark frequentierten Arlbergstraße, dreigeschoßig in Richtung Park. Die 74 Wohnungen sind in Passivhausstandard ausgeführt. Flexible Grundrisstypologie und Errichtungskosten entsprechen den Vorgaben für geförderten sozialen Wohnbau.

Die Wohnanlage vermittelt feinkörnig zwischen den voluminösen Industriegebäuden und der kleinteiligen Einfamilienhausbebauung in der Nachbarschaft. Die Baukörper bilden zwei lockere Reihen mit unterschiedlichen Hofräumen dazwischen für Licht und Sicht.

The hairdresser and beauty saloon is located centrally on the 1st and 2nd floor of the shopping center. Surprisingly it turns out to be a relaxing area. The internal wooden staircase connects the two areas. The pea green color scheme and the corporate design were created by artist Roland Stecher.

Ein Bäckerei-Imbiss als städtisches Wohnzimmer. Durch vollständige Öffnung der Ladenfront gehen Stadtraum und Lokal nahtlos ineinander über. Dank durchgesteckten Grundrisses lässt sich ein Besuch zugleich zur Passage zwischen Leutbühel und Kaiserstraße nutzen.

The Kaiserstrasse presents itself as a kind of "living room” for pedestrians where they can stop for a snack. You enter from the pedestrian area and exit at Leutbühel. It was deliberately created and designed with the needs of the customers in mind.

Transparent und klar formuliert, stellt sich das Gebäude in der Bregenzer Altstadt neuen Aufgaben. Mit bewusst gesetzten Akzenten wird Licht und Funktionalität in altes Gemäuer geholt. Das interaktive Ambiente zieht Mieter vom Kinderarzt bis zum Architekturbüro an.

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 options for development concerning life, living and working that are provided by a 50 square metres large unit are flexible and allow the improvement of spatial quality. New approaches to housing are presented by the interplay of environment, external areas and privacy of the 14 unit complex.

Not only the shoes are tailor-made at the orthopaedic shoemaker. The overall atmosphere fits into the vault of the old town with the set back shelves and the accentuated seats. The runways and ramps offer suitable shoes for everyone.

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 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.

das veritkale Reihenhaus

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.

Schlanke, anthrazitfarbene Betonteile strukturieren den verglasten Baukörper, der ein vertikales Gegenstück zu den Gebäuden der ehemaligen Textilindustrie mit lagerhaften Strukturen wie der Shedhalle, der Villa und der Portiershalle darstellt.

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 clearly structured building attracts not only people with a toothache. Three artists left their mark. The attractions are an oversized photograph, an abstract set of teeth featured in front of a pink concrete wall and pink tulips in the form of a row of teeth as a counterpart.

Up to the roof terrace the interplay between interior and exterior as well as open and covered areas of the integrated multi-purpose hall is expertly presented by the placement of the structure and the pergola.

Am Schnittpunkt zweier Bundesstraßen und am Ausgang der Bahnsteigunterführung zum Bodensee, unmittelbar neben der Verkehrsbrache des ehemaligen Bahnhofsareals gelegen, ist der Bau eine wichtige Punktsetzung im Wegenetz zwischen Stadt und See.

An idyllic place near the old town was an appealing starting point. The three buildings strongly respond to the topology and follow the natural setting of the back slope and the valleys.

The new building in its prominent location opposite the harbour follows the course of the road and forms two courtyards by wrapping the existing L-shaped building in a block-like manner. The glazed upper floors with metal slats rest on a base area of black concrete.

A place of art; and a place for people who want to experience artwork at their leisure. The outplacement of administrative units, shops and cafes directs the focus on the essential function of the solitary building: the exhibition.

The slim, small structure in front of the Kunsthaus shows the same attributes on the inside as on the outside: Black. Minimalistic. Elegant. An urban feeling is tangible during the summer months. Designer odds and ends can be bought in the shop.
