Renovation Residential Building Altstadt Linz
Linz, Austria
Renovation Residential Building, Altstadt Linz
The traces of time, because actually everything remains the same, only a little different and brighter!
Not outshone by the high gloss, not nostalgically transfigured, but marked by the traces of lifetime.
Only when you look a second time, you recognize the interventions and realize that it does not seem important to make everything straight, clean, flush and smooth.
It is not about “overlaying” the old with the new, but mostly we ask ourselves how to get more daylight into the buildings, - this issue haunts us in most remodeling projects.
Air and light are therefore the key words for us in order to give an existing building structure a second chance – to transform the old into a new future.
Instead of adapting to the constantly changing needs and planning resilient and long-term existing structures, short-term, tailor-made solutions are built again and again, only to be torn down again at the next change! “Stefan Kurath, now: the architecture!”
STOCK and FINDING:
The listed and late medieval Breiterkerhaus in the old town of Linz at Hofberg 5, was probably last renovated and rebuilt in the 1980s, with many architectural qualities obscured or obstructed during the last reconstruction.
The corridor areas are without daylight and very dark, the entire “interior” was overformed in the style of the 1980s (interior doors, pflaster, etc.), the entrance area is cramped and cluttered with garbage.
Over the years, therefore, many qualities of the house, which probably dates back to 1595, have been reshaped and changed, - but the baroqueized facade with Breiterker is preserved in good condition, the roof is a traditional Linz grave roof with a small-scale Eternit cover.
… we must finally recognize that the existing building stock is accepted and understood as a basis for further building! It would be negligent not to exploit the opportunities that lie in existing building structures because of existing difficulties!
Facades may be rich, we encounter them every day. If we always recognize something new in them, then a house has “reserve”, as Hermann Czech describes it, because people should be able to create their personal perception by having the possibility to rediscover the facades, - therein lies their whole everlasting beauty.
Structural interventions
• Removal of lightweight walls between staircase and corridor on the 1st floor and partly on the 2nd floor.
• Opening the corridor up to the Hofberg facade, allowing natural lighting and making the stichcap barrel - and cross-vaulted central corridor visible and noticeable again. However, this requires merging two apartments at a time on the Hofberg facade into one larger unit.
• A generous opening to the atrium (on each floor), creating a bright friendly common area. – General redesign of the atria.
• The entrance area will be restructured and the escape door relocated to create a visual improvement for the trash area.
• Due to a former water ingress, the roof truss had to be completely renewed.
