The 6,000 inhabitants of Gunskirchen in Upper Austria received a new supermarket on the edge of the town center. An existing building at the site was canceled and replaced by a new and modern SPAR supermarket with a sales area of 615 m² and side surfaces of 310 m².
The exact positioning of the building on the plot, the redesign of the parking space and the placement of delivery were strongly influenced by the immediate environment. The ascertainability of the market from the main street is one of the most important means of information and determined the orientation of the main view - with a glass facade, porch and entrance. While approaching the market presents itself as an open, welcoming establishment. The architecture communicates the values and the creative power of the company.
The charm of the supermarket is the dynamic structure and the façade skin, made of smooth and grooved fiber cement panels. Due to the different orientation of the grooves the appearance of the building changes during the day.
The client invited us to avoid a conventional, smooth shell, but to design a facade that is different; one that is in motion, with a roving textured surface. The development of the facade was a very fruitful process with SPAR. Straight from the beginning Eternit made an effort to make this product possible. Thus, for this project, a new product has been developed exactly with the desired grooving and a product that, of course, had to comply with all other given requirements (fire protection, registration in Austria, rapid delivery) - product design L810 ivory. Eternit and WiesingerBau were excellent partners for implementation! The executive company WiesingerBau was particularly challenged with integrating the many individual boards accurately. As the diamond and triangle system enwrap the whole building, a slight deviation on one point would have had uncontrollable consequences on all four sides. Due to the tight time schedule by SPAR there was a challenging short assembly time. The mounting positions of the triangles have been optimized in order to barter for unnecessary construction delays. The 460 m² (net) triangles and diamonds were pre-cut from Eternit and all 260 boards fitted perfectly!
