A plot of land, sloping to the north, next to the Alpbach Valley road and the requirement of
the client a new location in massive construction of an installation professional in Tuscan
style was the target.
After a preliminary sketch showing how we intend taking advantage of the slope gradient for
the organization of the building, the question of style was already done, the client open for
alternative suggestions.
In principle form horizontal slices (ceiling, roof), the basic structure, which rest partially on
closed space forming wall panels, and the remaining areas are separated by means of all-
glass walls to the exterior. The game with the depth of the glazing to the slab edge is
exciting, functionally related outdoor areas.
The ground floor area contiguous large construction volume is divided by a courtyard (access
mode, Belichtungshof OG) and breaks the building in its massiveness.
Upstairs is located under the large concrete roof a service apartment that is also divided
around the courtyard and allowing numerous differentiated by their views.
The theme of the Massivbaues was taken very seriously and executed the total static
structure of exposed concrete with steel supporting rails. The idea is that when one
expansion inside generally works with suspended ceilings and wall linings led to the
suspension height and wall linings was increased by the corresponding thickness of the
insulation and the concrete is generally visible in its rough surface.
The very simple and economical furnishing material language gives the staff great freedom
and leads to a very good working environment.
