SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
Located in Schrambach, within the municipality of Feldthurns just south of Brixen, the new Krapfbau Operational Headquarters occupies a slender site that rises toward residential developments to the south and west. The design utilizes a monolithic, elongated volume strategically positioned to define distinct functional zones: the entrance area, a unified building mass housing both offices and the warehouse, the service yard, and the open-air grounds.
Architectural Composition & Program
The three-story office wing serves as the facility’s functional anchor, maintaining a direct spatial dialogue with the adjacent warehouse. While its proportions and height distinguish it from the production hall, a consistent facade treatment ensures a cohesive architectural identity. Internally, the "head" of the building features a split-level configuration, centered around a staircase that bridges the levels from the warehouse floor up to the first floor. The second floor is dedicated to staff apartments, integrating living and working within a single footprint.
By lowering the service yard, the two-story warehouse is partially concealed, allowing the primary architecture to take center stage. To the south, a landscaped ramp and covered outdoor area provide a naturalistic buffer, doubling as a green acoustic screen for the neighboring residential zone.
A Language of Materiality
The project speaks a singular language of form and material. Its horizontal emphasis suggests a sense of "groundedness," while the extensive use of concrete anchors the facility in the construction trade. The refined quality of the fair-faced concrete subtly references the company’s real estate expertise—achieving elegance without pretense.
Technical Specification & Materials
The entire complex is governed by a rigorous 15 times 10 m structural grid, executed as a skeletal frame with reinforced concrete columns and solid slabs.
Façade: The building envelope is composed of precast concrete elements tinted in a deep charcoal gray. To create visual depth, the surfaces feature varied textures—polished, bush-hammered, and smooth—all finished with a hydrophobic coating for longevity.
Interiors: The material palette transitions to warmer, tactile elements in the office wing.
Flooring: Terrazzo in circulation areas; high-grade carpeting in workspaces.
Partitions: A combination of glass and timber wall systems.
Furnishings & Acoustic: Solid wood furniture paired with wood-wool acoustic ceiling panels.
Disassemblable Elements for Circular Economy
Precast Concrete Elements – The Sustainable Way to Build
Precast concrete is manufactured from natural resources such as gravel, sand, cement, and water. By utilizing optimized cements and concrete mix designs, CO2 emissions can already be reduced by up to 20%.Innovative precast elements enable highly efficient material usage, requiring up to 25% less concrete and 15% less steel. Reduced production waste and the 100% recyclability of the components ensure sustainability throughout every phase. Furthermore, energy efficiency during building operation and shortened construction times minimize the environmental impact of this resource-efficient building system.
