The project intertwines the landscape with the built. Entirely in the spirit of a place that desires an atmosphere that leads man with nature to a mutual imprint. Healing through architecture is achieved through the deliberate setting of architectural subtleties, such as atriums, where the course of the day can be read and thus gives […]
With the dissolution of the Barmherzige Brüder Eggenberg hospital and its integration into the Marschallgasse site in the centre of Graz, a new appearance and a revision of the content were developed for this building project in keeping with the historic old town. The measures are characterised by two large additions. The creation of a […]
The hospital in Breitenstein operated by the BVAEB (Insurance Institution for Public Employees, Railways and Mining) will be relocated and rebuilt in Mürzzuschlag. The future hospital for the treatment of patients with metabolic diseases will be located south of the existing provincial hospital and provincial nursing centre in Mürzzuschlag. This proximity to existing health-related facilities […]
As part of GerambRose 2020, images for the yearbook were created in late fall by David Schreyer .
The existing state care center is being renovated by the non-profit housing and settlement cooperative Ennstal for “Volkshilfe Steiermark” and extended by an extension for a care home and a new child care facility. Located directly next to the Murtaler state hospital Knittelfeld, the old stock of the nursing home is slightly adapted and connected […]
The design is based on an orchard meadow typical for the region. Three narrow, elongated structures are set into the arena-like topography in such a way that the buildings sometimes appear to hover over or be embedded into the terrain. The landscape flows through the building. Atria reflecting the planted orchard meadow underline this creative […]
A residential care home for 105 elderly residents has been constructed on Statteggerstraße in Graz on a park-like plot in the immediate vicinity of the Andritzbach brook. The passive house is a composite construction. Load-bearing ceilings and walls are made of concrete while all other structural elements are wood. The two-storey building consists of four wings […]
The ÖWG has constructed a Caritas nursing home for 49 residents on a plot with a mature tree population, owned by the Dörfler-Perz-Privatstiftung and located close to Göss monastery. The three-storey building with a partial basement was constructed as a solid concrete structure with wood-frame elements and achieves a different space allocation on each floor: […]
The creation of a coherent, spacious inner courtyard and the joining of the various building elements into a whole will “heal” the current unsatisfactory situation in terms of urban planning and architecture. In order to achieve this result, the courtyard is cleared and a linear building structure is developed along Marschallgasse that relates to the existing […]
The project interweaves the landscape with the built environment. This is entirely in keeping with the spirit of a place that desires an atmosphere that leads people to interact with nature. The design begins with the meadow orchard that is typical of the region. Three narrow, elongated structures are intertwined with the arena-like topography in […]
This two-floor nursing home on the grounds of the old Hummelkaserne barracks stands in a part of the city with diverse urban surrounding. The home is compact and square-shaped with asymmetrical cut-outs serving to divide the house into its spatial concept of eight housing communities, four on each floor. These are grouped around a central […]
The Waagner Biro Strasse and the noise protection measure through the Grätzel cell wall define the building field. Density specifications, ideas for use and their mix as further hard facts determine the playing field. But what urban rules are being played by? Which conditions are adopted, which are questioned? How can a livable, urban, contemporary, […]
Developed in response to a Europe-wide competition announced by the town of Nenzing, this ambitious nursing home involved a lengthy development process in which the visions for the project in relation to care and management expressed by staff were gathered and incorporated into the design and planning of the project. The result of this process […]
A total of thirteen flats spread over three floors on a hillside plot near the centre of Nenzing. This high-quality barrier-free home was built with older individuals and those who do not need full-time care in mind. Here, they can freely decide which, if any, care packages they want to avail of. The entrance from […]
Similar to the social centre Nenzing, the Maria Gail retirement home consists of two overlapping three-storey buildings with almost square ground plans. Their intersections contain the access and the nurse’s station for two residential groups on each floor. The residential groups are situated around two atriums used as winter gardens which can also function as […]
Similar to the boathouses on the lake, the individual houses of the health park lean against the edge of the terrain. Slightly twisted and offset, they house suites and rooms that invite you to enjoy the 360° mountain panorama. The aim is to capture this simple beauty and to implement it in a simple but […]
The retirement and nursing home of Steinfeld was built as a low-energy house. With its large, relatively enclosed volume and its many visual details it refers to the surroundings and the roots of the residents. The choice of materials – a two-storey timber frame construction built on a concrete base – corresponds to the regional, rural construction method and the filtration of the incident daylight in some areas mirrors the atmosphere of haylofts and barns. The familiar view on the Latschur, the home mountain of the region, is also provided by many openings in the building.
Two approximately square, three-storey buildings are shifted into each other and intersect, so that both access and care support points for two residential groups per floor are located in their intersections. The residential groups themselves are situated around two atriums used as winter gardens, which can also be adapted for events if required. Balconies and […]
The building structure of the nursing home reveals the internal division into four house communities around a central square – “village square” – a village consisting of 4 houses. The base is also located in the centre to provide the best overview and to be a well-positioned contact point for visitors and residents. Each house […]
As part of the property of the Diakoniezentrum Sozial- und Gesundheitsbetriebe GmbH at the Harbach location in Klagenfurt, the St. Peter old people’s and nursing home is another building block in the existing ensemble of social facilities. To the east, the property borders on Harbach Castle, the former monastery that currently houses the Diakonie administration […]

The competition was about an extension of the bedroom wing of the State Hospital Wagna, a building from the 1960s. The design tied in with the existing extension from the year 2001, planned by Klaus Kada, which is positioned to the West and parallel to the older building. Thus consistency in design is ensured and […]
The design for the Nursing Home Birkenwiese competition was determined by urban-planning parameters: The site is situated on the crossing point between the Dornbirner Arche river and the railway line in close proximity to a Lebenshilfe home and a residential building. The compact, four-storey building, which is set back from the river, follows the neighbour […]
Based on a continuous Campus concept on the same level, the complex space allocation plan is realised in interconnected modular buildings, which are spread over both parts of the planning area – left and right of the Stiftingbach river – and connected by bridges. Their proportions are based on the existing urban scale, the height […]
Based on the course of Bahnhofstraße and the existing tree population, the three-storey building consisting of two overlapping rectangles was placed on the site in a way that there is an open space between the new and old building of the nursing home and the day nursery. The western edge near the slope forms a […]
Study 2007 – , Gemeinde Oberschützen Assignment: Retirement and nursing Home
In the style of the original urbanistic concept with several pavilions in a park-like scenery, the new clinic building is situated as a solitaire on the site. The two different height levels of the building – the four lower storeys are hidden behind trees, the two upper storeys accommodating the “think tank” take up the […]
The building site for the senior citizen centre is influenced by different conditions: The high noise pollution from the Gösserstraße on the one side, and the beauty of the park-like estate and the religious-cultural influence of the Göss Abbey on the other side. In order to emphasise not only the protective, but also the public […]
Both indoor and outdoor swimming pool lie parallel to the river Ill, a fact which interrelates the two different water surfaces. The centre of the elongated construction is formed by an open space which provides access to all facilities. Covered by a projection, it serves as a venue for different events. The design of the […]
