HERTL.ARCHITEKTEN is an architecture practice based in Steyr, founded by Gernot Hertl in 2000.
Overview:
The studio operates from its office in Steyr and has grown into one of Austria’s most recognized contemporary practices, with a portfolio spanning residential, cultural, educational, and commercial projects.
Despite being relatively small (around 10–15 staff), the office has achieved international visibility through competitions, publications, and awards.
Design Approach:
Hertl Architekten’s work is characterized by a strong focus on:
– Atmosphere and sensory experience in architecture
– Materiality and craftsmanship, often exploring timber and tactile surfaces
– Contextual integration, responding carefully to landscape and existing structures
– A balance between poetic expression and pragmatic construction
The practice often describes architecture as something that operates on an emotional level—where space, light, and material create immediate impressions before rational understanding.
Notable Projects:
Key works by the studio include:
– HTL Steyr (ongoing transformation) – adaptive reuse and expansion of a historic school complex
– Aichinger House (Kronstorf) – a widely published residential project
– Flößerhaus (Steyr) – restoration and transformation of a historic riverside building
– Bruckner Tower (Linz) – a high-rise office building
– Museum Arbeitswelt (Steyr) – cultural project contributing to the city’s identity
