We have 5 pages of Austrian Architecture selections with links to many individual project pages. Austrian Architecture : news + key projects (this page) Austrian Buildings : A-C Austrian Building Developments : D-I Austrian Architecture Designs : J-N Austrian Building Designs : N-Z Austrian Buildings - Latest DesignsAustria Architecture News arranged chronologically:Islamic Cemetery, Altach, western Austria Design: Bernado Bader Architects  photo : Marc Lins Islamic Cemetery Austria - 1 May 2013 The Cemetery serves Vorarlberg, the industrialised westernmost state of Austria, where over eight percent of the population is Muslim. It finds inspiration in the primordial garden, and is delineated by roseate concrete walls in an alpine setting, and consists of five staggered, rectangular grave-site enclosures, and a structure housing assembly and prayer rooms. Forum Limbach, Burgenland, Austria - Architecture award winner - “Best House 2013” Design: Looping Architecture  photo © Hertha Hurnaus Forum Limbach - 26 Apr 2013 The building has an unusual typology - discussion forum + museum + private residence of the principal and collector. It convinced the jury with its “animated dialogue between outside and inside, old and new”. The new building, fitted into the historically grown farmyard structure, closes the rural square edifice and at the same time opens up the previously enclosed inner yard. On top sits the upper storey as “house on the house” with the principal’s private rooms. The bright red “house on the house” marks a visionary new beginning without overwriting the property’s naturalness. Joint concept development and keeping the original ensemble were important points for the principal and the architects as well. 1090 Rochus, Bauernfeldplatz, Vienna, north east Austria Design: Söhne & Partner Architekten  photo : Severin Wurnig Rochus Wien - 24 Apr 2013 When planning this building the instructors made a great effort to include all different requirements in the project without, however, neglecting the idea of a unified architectural line. So when the general refurbishment on Bauernfeldplatz in 1090 Vienna started it was important to connect the different levels and to open up the restaurant towards the road space in the foreground. A special element of the building is the sun garden from 1913. Haus Walde, Tyrol Design: GOGL Architekten  photo : Mario Webhofer Tyrol Residence - 23 Apr 2013 The client requested an open, light-filled room with the garden and the beautiful backdrop of the Kitzbühl Alps integrated into the living space. Haus Wiesenhof, Tyrol Design: GOGL Architekten  photo : Mario Webhofer Haus Wiesenhof - 23 Apr 2013 The house communicates with the dominant mountain range, with every view resembling a painting. The decision to utilise archaic materials was made quite consciously to quote the surrounding farmsteads. The client wanted an atmosphere that was light and airy, but also cosy. Seeschanze Lochau Residences, Lochau Design: Baumschlager Eberle  photo : Eduard Hueber Seeschanze Lochau Residences - 16 Apr 2013 The better the location, the higher the density – such wishful thinking on the part of the real estate sector has had negative consequences for the location and the residents on more than one occasion. But that is far from being the case at the former Dornier site in Lochau with its much sought-after views of Lake Constance. Wedding Rings, Puchenau Design: x architekten  photo : David Birgmann Wedding Rings Austria - 15 Apr 2013 Rings have played an important role as a symbol for matrimony since antiquity. Rings are also the guiding theme with regards to the redesign of Puchenau’s wedding rooms. The white stuccoed rings, with their different diameters, seem to wander through the walls of the three rooms towards the wedding hall, seemingly freed from eternal life, to melt into two intertwined rings behind the wedding altar. Laternser Valley Mountain Cabin, western Austria Marte.Marte Architects  photo : Marc Lins Laternser Valley Mountain Cabin - 1 Apr 2013 At the edge of a wooded ravine, beneath the imposing wooden house of the Catholic Community of Sisters, the small tower building rises from the steep hillside. Fitting into the landscape as if it were a barn, the building, which is a fine example of the homogeneous use of materials, in this case, carefully hewn rough concrete, stands out against the meadow green and winter white. Joanneum Museum Extension, Graz, south east Austria - photos added Design: Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos + eep architekten  photograph : Roland Halbe Joanneum Museum Extension The Joanneumsviertel of Graz is formed of three historical buildings that up to now gave their back to one another and towards a residual rear courtyard: the Museum of Natural History, the Library of Styria and the New Gallery of Contemporary Art. As organisms belonging to the same institution, the project set out the need to endow the complex with a common access, welcoming spaces, conference hall, reading areas and services, aside from a lower level for archives and storage. Eduard Wallnoefer Platz, Innsbruck, Tyrol, western Austria Design: LAAC Architects / Stiefel Kramer Architecture with artist Christopher Grüner  photo : Guenter Richard Wett Innsbruck Public Realm - 26 Mar 2013 This is the largest public square of Innsbruck, located in the city center. Before the transformation, the square was dominated by the facade of the province of Tyrol’s governmental building from the period of National Socialism, and by a large scale memorial that looks like a fascist monument – which in spite of its visual appearance is a freedom monument that shall commemorate the resistance against, and the liberation from National Socialism. The surface of the square is realised in modulated slabs (max. 100m2) of elaborated in-situ concrete. Hotel Wiesergut, Tyrol, western Austria Architects: Monika Gogl & Partner  photograph : Mario Webhofer / W9 Werbeagentur, Innsbruck Hotel Wiesergut - 7 Mar 2013 In December 2012, Hotel Wiesergut in Hinterglemm/Salzburger Land was re-opened after a complex renovation and extension. The goal of the architectural concept was to upgrade the existing traditional structure with puristic architecture. Monika Gogl therefore worked very consciously with contrasting materials such as local wood, natural stone, granite, glass and exposed concrete. Major Recent Austrian BuildingsCity Hall Kufstein, north west AustriaDesign: Architekten Giner, Wucherer  photo : Lukas Schaller Rathaus Kufstein - 12 Feb 2013 The city of Kufstein, situated next to the green river “Inn“ is characterized by its mighty round fortress which looks upon the city. The city centre with its towers, church-roofs, domes and pediments is in a dialogue with this fortress structure. Universität für angewandte Kunst - University of Applied Arts, Vienna COOP HIMMELB(L)AU  image © COOP HIMMELB(L)AU University of Applied Arts Vienna - 23 Feb 2012 OASIS Pastoral care voestalpine, Linz, Upper Austria xarchitekten  picture : David Schreyer OASIS Pastoral care voestalpine - 23 Feb 2012 The office for pastoral care in the diocese of Linz, to be located on the site of the steel company voestalpine, is to serve liturgical as well as secular purposes. The plot of land lies as a “no-man’s-land” between main roads and industrial estates and is in need of a new strong character. Timmelsjoch Experience, southern Austria Werner Tscholl  photo : Alexa Rainer Timmelsjoch Experience - 11 Jan 2012 The concrete structure on the North Tyrolean side juts out like an erratic boulder into the South Tyrolean side, underlining the cross-border nature of the Timmelsjoch Experience. The "Ice Cave” inside the museum pays tribute to the pioneers of the High Alpine Road and their remarkable accomplishment. Architecture in AustriaAustria Architecture, key projects:
