About 120 years after Otto Wagner and Max Fabiani, thanks to the trust of our client (BUWOG), we were allowed to revive the Viennese tradition of facade design with tiles in our component “Orchidea” / living for single parents. A touch of Milan (Arch. L. Caccia Dominioni) was also involved in the inspiration…

Yuppidu! The trend is your friend… 🙂

Together with our esteemed colleagues from “Nerma Linsberger ZT Gmbh” & “EGKK Landschaftsarchitektur” we have achieved the 1st place in the 2-stage competition “Süßenbrunn West” on processing field 02!

Here is an excerpt from the jury protocol: “The quality of the urban design concept is particularly appreciated, as a skilful staggering of the heights of individual buildings takes in visual axes and creates a lively neighborhood silhouette.”

We are looking forward to realizing a valuable contribution to a lively quarter for our client “Wien Süd” with 226 high-quality apartments.

A timeless pattern successfully continues!

From Augustinerstraße to Kärtnerstraße, the Führichgasse, in Vienna’s 1st district, will be transformed into a barrier-free encounter zone. The proven pattern, which has already been used in the Pedestrian Zone Vienna City, will be further spun.

Redesign St. Stephen Square

Redesign St. Stephen Square

The construction workers on Stephansplatz are already in top gear. Pavement renewal follows in spring 2017 – this will merge seamlessly into the part of the Vienna City pedestrian precinct already set up in 2008/09.

Around 60,000 pedestrians move along Kärntnerstrasse and Graben every day. In order to react accordingly to high-pressure usage and pedestrian frequency, the design provides for extensive empty spaces, complemented by a few accessories: a new pavement surface pattern, a site-specific lighting concept, plain-and-simple resting decks and benches for lingering, reorganisation of the front gardens (“Schanigärten”) and planting of new trees on Kärntnerstrasse. The redesigned pedestrian precinct is intended both for residents and for tourists as a uniquely attractive urban space in the heart of Vienna.
