Pixendorf Rural Residential Estate, Lower Austria
Architects: AllesWirdGut Architektur

The Pixendorf Rural Residential Estate is a new 308-unit development currently under construction, conceived in dialogue with the existing village centre. Rather than replicating it directly, the project offers a contemporary reinterpretation, introducing a new layer of diversity while maintaining continuity with the established character of Pixendorf.

Designed to be permeable and adaptable, the estate remains open to future growth and extension. Its structure and scale align with the historic core, allowing it to sit comfortably alongside it while expanding the range of infrastructure and amenities available. In doing so, the development fosters opportunities for exchange between old and new, supporting a more connected and evolving community.

Good urban planning, authentic materials and a mix of flats and commercial space are rarely realised consistently as a synthesis. Campus V in Dornbirn (Vorarlberg, Austria) is an example of how this trilogy of sensible construction works.

Doppelmayr Headquarters, Wolfurt, Vorarlberg
Architect: AllesWirdGut
Local identity meets global thinking in the new headquarters of Doppelmayr, long established in Wolfurt. As the company’s home base and operational centre for its worldwide activities, the project draws directly from this dual condition—deeply rooted in place while outward-looking in scope.

BOKU Hydraulic Engineering Laboratory, Vienna – Wien
Design: ATP architects engineers
The new hydraulic engineering laboratory of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, located on the Brigittenauer Sporn, represents a globally unique research facility.

Puradies Nature Resort in Leogang, Salzburger Land
Design: NOA
Set against a breathtaking alpine backdrop, the Puradies Nature Resort is nestled within lush meadows beside a small lake, offering an environment defined by fresh air and a strong connection to nature. This sense of place has been further enriched by NOA, who have expanded the resort with a new spa concept inspired by the elemental forces of fire, water, earth, and air.

The family-run hotel, comprising 76 rooms and 14 chalets arranged like a small village, lives up to its name by creating a setting that feels both intimate and expansive. The result is a destination that balances comfort, landscape, and experience—an alpine retreat shaped by atmosphere as much as by design.

Linalotte House, Linz
What began as a temporary living solution evolved into a permanent home. In 2020, as the family expanded, Linalotte House was enlarged and upgraded. The extension was constructed using prefabricated timber-frame wall and ceiling elements insulated with recycled materials. The original truck tarpaulin exterior was removed and replaced with a diffusion-open underlay, while a continuous rear-ventilated façade system was installed across the entire structure to enhance durability, comfort, and building performance.
