Development of an agricultural component object on approximately 300sqm of living space including a galleria on 2nd floor. Everything was planned so that it is very neutral looks although the color and radiates a lot of heat .
INNOCAD and its multidisciplinary team, consisting of fashion and product designers, sound and media designers, won the Graz Armoury “Cannon Room” competition.
After the birth of their first daughter, the young family were taken by the idea of a single-family house in the countryside. in the wienerwald they found a little house in need of rehabilitation with a large garden. prospective possibilities of enlargement were already investigated before buying the property.the lean budget required a high portion of own capital in order to take the first steps in renovating the old building and undertake thermal sanitation.upon completion of sanitation, the second child had already been born, and thoughts regarding an annexe became more concrete. also, the grandmother’s wish for a granny flat should be taken into consideration. building regulations left little leeway regarding building density and height. in order to accommodate the entire spatial programme, developing a two-storey structure was mandatory.
The residential building in the 21st district of Vienna contains a total of 42 small apartments between 40 and 50m². Each has either a bright balcony or a private terrace. In the attic floor there are spacious apartments with associated large roof terraces.
While planning this building it was essential to reach an optimal exploitation of the officially permitted building volume. Common areas such as a spacious green courtyard including a modern children’s play area have loads of space available.
When an architect delivers a building it is always an extremely emotional moment, marked by the end of a long process of mediation, from absolute potentiality of early sketches to fine tuning in situ of final details. An actor, for a time, in the endless development of territories, the architect exits the scene. He hands over the controls to those he has been working for. This is the moment when architecture transitions from the intellectual, conceptual state to the fundamentally physical and real.
A monolithic residence has been built for a young family in a village close to Vienna.
On an exposed hillside plot the residential building is positioned as a solitaire. The sculptural object is surrounded by a generous garden designed by the owners gardening company.
The spacious garden merges into the surrounding fields and the natural site.
The Velux Sunlighthouse in Pressbaum near Vienna is the first co²-neutral single-family-house in Austria.
The challenge was to create a house that taps the full potential of the plot on the one hand and to develop an energy and ecology concept that would erase the ecological footprint of the house within the next thirty years on the other hand. What distinguishes this project from many ambitious preceding projects is the aim to combine minimized numerical values for energy efficiency with ambitious architecture in spite of an all but ideal plot.
The house under the oaks is a low budget passive house concept developed for an Austrian family. With a minimum footprint and a wide outstretching wooden box on six columns it offers a living area of about 100 m2 on a plot of 913m2. The whole structure was done in prefabricated timber with ecological wood wool insulation of up to 60 cm.
The challenge of the project was to plan a medium conference- and coaching centre for multinational Fast Moving Consumer Goods companies.
The architectural form establishes a symbiosis between the landscape and building topography with the aim to steer the eye towards nature and the site. Through the adaption of the prevailing site topography in the building shape – in form of roof pitches and ascending ramps – the visual perception of the site is reflected.
The first LOVE F CAFÉ is placed at the formerly most exclusive and prominent corner in Vienna – the “SIRK-corner”.
