Austria’s Largest Passive Office Building is situated, as of now, in the small-scale old town of Krems, Lower Austria!
How this is possible and can produce special qualities is shown by the result of the international architectural competition for the Niederösterreich Haus (“House of Lower Austria”) in Krems:
Already in 2005, the project collaborative of AllesWirdGut, feld72, and FCP came out winning in the design competition; on May 13, 2011, the building was officially inaugurated.

Revolutionary Opera Theater for the Karmelitermarkt in Vienna

Nikolaiplatz as it stands today was a process of conversional development which took its shape over a period of time. While the architectural style (as well as the desired building density) changed, the site layout remained stably constant. Due to the growing density in the immediate surroundings of the area, the requirements of a building on that site had to be adjusted over time. Today the heterogeneous urban situation requires a boundary of space on one side – towards Nikolaiplatz–, and a significant free standing form on the other side – towards Entenplatz.
