New Austrian coorporate headquarters for a facility service company

In order to offer a high-quality working environment in a faceless industrial area in St. Pölten, it was important to create a separate, self contained world with great interior qualities — as in a hortus conclusus. In keeping with the corporate culture, the office space is organised on just one level on the upper floor. The resulting hierarchical spatial organisation between open and closed offices is intended to promote communication. The pixelation and materialisation of the façade takes away from the scale of the building and creates a multi-faceted, complex game with the perception of the building and its context.
