The object Blumenegg Pavillon is an event space in the midst of the remaining walls of the ruins of Blumenegg Castle. It is to be run by an association as a cultural and leisure centre and used by the surrounding region.
The building, with a floor space of 60 square metres, is intended to accommodate various events and consists of a main room and a small kitchen.
the fire station north is located in linz-urfahr. the operational building from the 1970s met in functional and thermal terms not the requirements and standards of modern fire stations. since the basic substance of the building was ok, a functional renovation and extension of the existing fire station was decided. the design combines clear and efficient functionality with an architectural language appropriate to the construction task.
the aim of the renovation was to give the building a completely new identity while retaining large parts of the supporting and façade structure. all existing windows were renewed, the poorly insulated pre-fabricated concrete elements were largely preserved and insulated. subsequently, the entire building was covered with a new metall facade. the slightly iridescent aluminum panels are partly perforated and openable – according to the use of the rooms behind.

The house originally was commissioned in 1925 by a young engineer for his own family. The Tyrolese architect Siegfried Mazagg designed a masterpiece one of a few only as his life unfortunately was ended early by a car accident when he was only 30 years of age. The building has been granted built heritage of the highest grade some ten years ago.

CAMPUS ‘25, Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich in the state capital Linz, Upper Austria Openness, flexiblility and multi-functionality are the guiding principles for the new CAMPUS ‘25 development in Linz. A wide range of services and facilities for the Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich will be accessible and open for use by the wider public.
The new building for the Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich is the central cornerstone of the campus, transforming the site between the Blumau Tower and Südbahnhofmarkt into an innovative and vibrant setting. Its co-working zones, shops, restaurants and exhibition spaces provide a stimulus for businesses, while simultaneously improving the outdoor spaces for the general public.
The house is part of the main concept of the Gartenstraße in Eichgraben. The compact design of the house benefits of the slope and contains despite strict high regularities three floors. Due to projections covered spaces are being designed. The construction consists of massive timber elements. The building is cooled respectively heated by geothermal energy.
From the beginning on, these clients – a young family – have made two demands: Their house should be constructed from wood and subsequently win the Lower Austrian prize in this discipline. We willingly accect a challenge like this.
The building site was discovered during a stroll through the forest near the river Enns which raised the desire to live in the middle of nature surrounded by trees. At first sight it seemed to be impossible to build a house there since only a narrow building area is located on even surface, the rest of it is a steep slope of six meters. This special situation was solved with an unusual but also simple construction. The building got only partially placed on solid ground, the bigger part of it is lifted off the ground and reaches into the tree crowns. A steel framework is supporting the construction.
Before the Boom of the family house started, generations have naturally lived under one roof. Now the society moves closer together due to climbing construction and real estate prices. This is an opportunity and a positive process against urban sprawl and to counteract the social isolation.
For private builders, the semi-detached house is a financially and resource-efficient solution for living together under one roof, for compact housing, with due respect for the demands of individual privacy and local conditions. The house is an outstanding example of a young couple taking some risk to contribute to a sustainable development, attractive spatial planning on the highest ecological standards.
The Summer’s family home is located on the edge of a forest on a small plateau above Weiler, outside the village centre at the end of a steep path. Only a handful of farmers settled in the area over the centuries. Following tradition and their common sense, they all used timber to build their farmhouses.
The Summer’s new house replaces an old building. The former farm – and farming as such – were abandoned half a century ago. Over the years, the empty building was badly affected by wind and weather and could not be saved.
The building site is situated in Mühlviertel, a region north of Upper Austria, on the edge of a small settlement. The origin of the river Kleine Rodl isn't far off and the location offers a view of hills, woods and fields. The concept for RUNDHERUM is based on a well preserved building structure. The outer walls of the solid construction remained and function as a core, the additional space was built all around that core, made out of wood and glass. The saddle roof has been removed, die garage got demolished, some openings has been expanded or closed. The inner structure remained and was merged with a second spacial layer. The new outer wall sets the rhythm: Cabinet wall, washbasin and a bathtub with a panoramic view are completing the bedroom. Two dining areas, one facing south-east, the other facing south-west, and its terrace inbetween are bordering the south-faced side of the house. The floor space got doubled from nearly 70 to around 150 square meters and functions as a new open spacial continuum. There are no access areas, all are living areas.
