Pizzeria 22k restaurant Linz, Austria interior
Built between 1925-39, the building was Austria’s first steel skeleton building in the New Objectivity style (Neue Sachlichkeit). The two award-winning chefs (Rossbarth restaurant was also designed by destilat) are opening a casual culinary playground in the “Falk building” of the radically functionalist industrial building, and the interior design is expected to be just as cool.

Campus V Building, Dornbirn, Austria
Good urban planning, authentic materials and a mix of flats and commercial space – the basic elements for functioning urban life are simple, but are rarely realised consistently as a synthesis. Campus V for the client PRISMA HOLDING AG in Dornbirn (Vorarlberg, Austria) by our office in Lustenau is an example of how this trilogy of sensible construction works.

AA nanotourism Visiting School, Sekirn on Wörthersee
Over two weeks, students design and build a series of three architectural interventions to address and critique the hyper-privatised nature of Austria’s Lake Wörthersee. Wörthersee has 83% of its shoreline inaccessible to the public. At the same time, located on the lake’s south shore, the Vienna Boys’ Choir Summer Residence is an underused property and one of the last remaining places with an opportunity to open up for the people.

A special feature of the project was that the buildings built in Phase 1 produced the timber elements used in the buildings built in Phase 2. This creates a true sense of identity for the employees working in the office building, because they are surrounded every day by the materials that they produce in-house.
