New corporate headquarters: renovation of the listed existing building, new office and commercial spaces
The building adopts the plot’s polygonal layout and develops it into a compact structure with two courtyards. The ensemble of the new building and the partly listed old building closes the gap with regards to urban development and blends subtly into its surroundings. A public passageway on the ground floor creates a new connection between Rochusmarkt and Grete-Jost-Park. At the interface between old and new, a multi-storey, light-flooded atrium serves as circulation space as well as meeting area. The rooms have been designed to allow for future alternative uses, thus ensuring long-term and flexible utilisation.

Als eines der höchsten Gebäude Bozen sichtbar in der Stadt, und durch seine großzügige Platzbildung erlebbar auf Fußgänger-Niveau wird das neue Hauptquartier zum wichtigen Impuls in der neuen zentrumsnahen Stadtentwicklungszone rund um das große Bahnhofsareal.
Die bereits für die von feld72 geplante Markas Zentrale in Österreich in St.Pölten entwickelte Corporate Identity fand auch in diesem Gebäude ihre Kontinuität. Transparenz und Offenheit als auch die flache Hierarchiestruktur des Unternehmens mit ca. 7.000 Mitarbeitern finden hier ihre räumliche Ausprägung.

Wine-selling, bar, lounge, degustation
Along the wine road in South Tyrol a new point of sale was set up for the cooperative winery in Kaltern, the Kellereigenossenschaft that is based as much on the mobile awareness of the twenty-first century as it is on local identity. A charged tension is generated between the visual impression of the uniform shell made of glass fibre-reinforced concrete and the single, large-scale interior it envelops. Here, a sculptural terraced landscape unfolds, which, through its elevation alone, yields a complex sequence of atmospheres and spatial impressions.

Official Building of Lower Austria
The NHK – Landesamtgebäude Krems (Regional Authorities Building) is less a building than an urban module. The building volume demanded by the spatial programme of the largest passive office building in Austria doesn’t take shape as a total form that negates its context, but fuses into the small-scale plot structure of the location. The typical urban development pattern of Krems’s historic centre – alleyways, bridges between buildings, passages and inner courtyards – are transposed into the present time, and the idea of the building as urban community is also sustained in the interior routing.

In order to offer a high-quality working environment for a facility service firm in what is in fact a faceless industrial estate in St. Pölten, value was placed on creating a self-enclosed world apart that has great qualities as an interior – like a hortus conclusus. The office zones are organised on only one level on the upper floor, in accordance with the firms’ entrepreneurial identity and culture. The ensuing hierarchy-free spatial organisation between open and closed offices will foster communication. Pixeling and materialising the façade divests the building of its scale and gives rise to a richly faceted and complex interplay between perception of the building and its context.

The design proposes a three-storey, clearly defined building, lower than the surrounding trees, which is integrated in the park structure of the adidas World of Sports in Herzogenaurach, southern Germany. The individually designed internal courtyards and the roof surface – which is completely usable – offer visitors to and staff of the MOM a maximum of leisure time quality and the chance to identify with their own workplace. There is a huge semi-roofed skater park at the entrance. This forecourt is connected via the foyer and a generously dimensioned outdoor stairs with the roofscape. The large running track on the roof addresses the myth of movement, just as the Lingotto in Turin did it its time.
