PARKPRAXIS in Kasten bei Böheimkirchen, Lower Austria by X Architekten

Sunday, June 10th, 2012

Article source: X Architekten

Task

Dr. Fehrmann decided to build her new practice in the centre of the lower Austrian community of  Kasten. The community’s centre consists of buildings which surround a green park on three sides. On its fourth side, the park opens up towards agricultural fields and meadows. The premises lie on the edge of the park where its green spaces turn into agriculture. Keeping the valuable urban quality of the continuous green space demands a certain concept in which the building is not to be seen as such, so as not to disturb the geographical connection between the two green spaces.
