The constant growth of Arpex company resulted in the decision to move all smaller and spread entities to a single central location. The concept responds to the wish for a contemporary office environment and a maximum of storage area in the warehouse. Two simple volumes arrange office and warehouse with a small shift to give access to the primary delivery area. Both volumes contrast each other in proportion as well as their materials. The warehouse, as the more significant volume in the background, has a light aluminum façade. For the office, we used a dark metal-façade which has perforated and folded elements for sun protection. The faceted facade in matt black-grey color gives a homogenous appearance and refers to the history of the coal industry in this area. A white frame invites to the entrance-hall, which is the central space of the office. All standard and public functions like the presentation room, social rooms, meeting rooms, and a patio are located directly at the hall. Specifically arranged windows give insight to these functions. As a green oasis and outdoor space for everyday use, we placed a patio on the first floor. The prominent glass facades flood the entrance hall with natural light and add a natural element to the scenery.

 Villa Marie is situated on a south orientated slope in the alpine foothill region of Upper Austria, which is characterized by soft hills and splendid views to the alps. The design focuses on two aspects, a bungalow concept organizes all rooms on one level around a central living area and the west orientated veranda terrace. The generous veranda connects the main living room with the garden and provides a covered, outdoor social area.  A big void flood plenty of natural light into the house and separates the veranda into two covered areas. A huge sliding door opens the main living space to the outside space linking the interiors to the exteriors. Three functional volumes define a central living area, which is extendable with two additional rooms. The arrangement of the volumes creates an open spatial continuum, which has no doors visible from the main living room. Cutouts in the surfaces provide views through the spaces connecting them to each other and the surrounding. The three volumes also incorporate other programs in the house including the kitchen area in one volume, the fireplace and seating area in another, and cabinets and storage space in the third. The wooden bungalow touches the ground on the north and opens up an entrance and service level in the basement. The wooden construction is fully prefabricated and assembled on site, making it a more sustainable and efficient in the construction process. Light wood, as main material of floor and ceiling, defines the atmosphere in the house and is contrasted by dark coloured wood and fibre cement boards for the façade. The villa´s open and light interiors are further highlighted by the material palette. A wooden flooring and matching ceiling make the rooms seem illuminated and vast. The functional volumes that separate the central living area are a darker wood, highlighting their unique purpose in the space. All the materials, textures, colours and the open layout enable the bungalow to become a versatile yet highly efficient living space.

Frequently, we ask ourselves how contemporary housing should look? The villas in Baumschulgasse answer this question from a local as well as historical context. The name Baumschulgasse is apparent in the program and combines the villa typology with natural spaces of gardens and terraces to a new whole. Terraces as extended living spaces become the central element of green living.

The neighborhood is defined of bigger sized single-family houses with generous gardens, while the masterplan allows higher density for future development. In this context we aimed to place the new housing as harmonic as possible. As such the maximum volume was split into two buildings of similar size with an open staircase in between. The gabled roofs of different orientation emphasize the unique character of each building. On south facade the volumes are cut in each level to create large and protected terraces for each flat also in upper levels. These terraces are accomplished with planters and roofs as well as the steel frame, which is defining the outdoor spaces and redrawing the outline of each initial volume.

The construction is executed in massive high insulating brick with hemp plaster base plate and plaster finish. The gabled roof construction is made of visible CLT-massive wood elements and creates generous room heights of up to 4m in the penthouses. The use of wood and hemp in construction, combined with green roofs, wood-aluminum windows and PVC free materials make the villas a sustainable and healthy place to live.

STRASSENRAUM / OFFENES QUARTIER

6 Baukörper konzentrieren die Baumassen an den Bauplatzecken und erstrecken sich entlang der Straßenverläufe zu einer porösen Blockrandbebauung. Durch die Anordnung enstehen klare Straßenzüge, welche sich zu den Kreuzungen hin aufweiten. Bewusst gesetzte Abstände zwischen den Gebäuden unterstützen die Strukturierung der Fassaden zum Straßenraum. Die Durchgänge reagieren auf die angrenzende Bebauung und vernetzt die Innenhöfe mit der Umgebung. Ein offenes Quartier unterstützt die Verwebung des neuen Stadtteils mit der bestehenden Stadt und kommenden städtebäulichen Entwicklungen.

FREIRÄUME / GRÜNE OASEN

Die Anordnung der Baukörper schafft zwei größzügige Innenhöfe. Die großteils siedlungsöffentlichen verbundenen Freiflächen dienen als begrünter Freiraum für die Allgemeinheit. In einer parkähnlichen Anlage mit lockerer Baumpflanzung stehen den Bewohnern Spielflächen, Verweilzonen, Wiesenhügel, Sitzbänke und Liegeflächen zur Verfügung. Der private Badeteich wird durch einen Gräsergürtel von den Allgemeinbereichen getrennt.

ECKBALKONE / ECKTERRASSEN

Die im Grundriss abgetreppte Ausformung der Baukörper ermöglicht ein Maximum an hofseitig orientierten Balkonen und Terrassen. Die Lage an den Aussenecke gewährleistet eine optimale Belichtung aus zwei, teilweise sogar drei Himmelsrichtungen und ermöglicht einen erweiterten Ausblick. Die Eckbalkone und -terrassen bieten dadurch ideal geschützte Aussenbereiche.

PATIO / VORGARTEN / DACHGARTEN

Die Patios dienen als räumliche Vorgärten der Wohnungen. Der Patiohof ist im Erdgeschoss die zentrale Lobby der Häuser. Hier treffen sich die Bewohner in ihren Wegen und haben Zugang zu allen gemeinschaftlich nutzbaren Bereichen. Eine hausinterner Multifunktionsraum mit großzügiger Terrasse bildet gleichzeitig den Zugang zum siedlungsöffentlichen Freiraum. Im Penthousegeschoss ist ein gemeinschaftlich genutzter Dachgarten mit Terrasse und Hochbeeten vorgesehen.

STRUKTURIERUNG FASSADEN

Teilweise Höhenabstufungen der strassenseitigen Gebäudehöhen zwischen 3- und 4-geschossigen Baukörpern, sowie die Abbildung der Stiegenhäuser an den Fassaden ergibt gegliederte Fassadenansichten. Die rhytmische Abfolge von Häuserfronten entlang der Strassenverläufe orientiert sich in ihrer Maßstäblichkeit an den umgebenden Bebauungen.

SCHALLSCHUTZ

Die poröse Blockrandbebauung ermöglicht eine gute Schallabschirmung zu den Innenhöfen bei gleichzeitig guter Durchlässigkeit. Zur Optimierung des Schallschutzes können gegebenenfalls zwischen den Gebäudeenden Lärmschutzverglasungen vorgesehen werden. Strassenseitige Loggien in den kleineren Wohnungstypen sind mit Schallschutzverglasungen kombiniert mit Schallschutzlüftern geplant.

/ STÄDTEBAULICHE FORTFÜHRUNG BRAUQUARTIER /
quadratische Patiohäuser ergeben die logische Fortführung der begonnen städtebaulichen Struktur des Brauquartiers in einem heterogenen Umfeld. Die maßstäblich etwas kompakteren Baukörper vermitteln im Maßstab zwischen den vorhandenen Bebauungen und zukünftigen Entwicklungen.

/ DOPPELTER DRILLING /
die Anordnung der Patiohäuser in 3er Gruppen ergibt eine gute Zonierung der Aussenräume und spannt zwischen den beiden Bauabschnitten einen großzügigen Grünraum in Form eines Parks auf. Als Zugangsverteiler dienen zwei Plazas welche durch den Boulevard verbunden sind.

/ FLEXIBLE PATIOHAUS TYPOLOGIE /
basierend auf dem kleinsten Wohnungstypen (A) und der idealen Gebäudetiefe von 7,5m wird den Patiohäusern ein Grundraster mit Achsmaß 5,6m zu Grunde gelegt. Der kleinste Haustyp wird durch zusätzlich eingefügte Wohnungen zu drei unterschiedlich großen Patiohäusern variiert. Der Grundraster ermöglicht ein durchgängiges Tragsystem bis in die Tiefgarage.

/ REAKTION ZU NÖRDLICHEM WOHNGEBIET /
die Anordnung der Patiohäuser reagiert auf die niedrigere Wohnbebauung im Norden einerseits durch 3-geschossige Baukörper und andererseits durch Maximierung der Abstände bzw. Verortung der Freibereiche

/ FREIRAUM /
im gesamten Planungsareal werden ca. 8000m² als siedlungsöffentliche Grünfläche in Form einer parkähnlichen Freiraumanlage bereitgestellt. Private Gärten folgen der Bebauung U-förmig und bilden einen niedrigschwelligen Übergang zum öffentlichen Grün.

/ PATIO ALS VORGARTEN /
die Patios sind das Herz der Wohngebäude. Sie dienen der Haupterschließung der Wohnungen, überdies aber auch als Vorgarten, Kommunkationszone, Treffpunkt und ermöglichen durch variierende Laubengangbreiten unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten zur Aneignung durch die Bewohner. Weiters ermöglicht lt. OIB die Anordnung von jeweils 2 Fluchttreppen die Anordnung von Fensteröffnungen zum Laubengang.
Dies ermöglicht für einen Großteil der Wohnungen eine Belichtung von jeweils 2 Himmelsrichtungen.

/ DACHGARTEN /
jeweils dem Park zugeordnet öffent sich der Patio auf Penthausebene und bietet den Wohnhäusern Platz für Gemeinschaftsfeste, Urban Farming und vieles mehr

/ OFFENES AUTOFREIES QUARTIER /
die Anordnung der Gebäude schafft eine bewusste Öffnung der Freiräume zu den angrenzenden Stadtteilen. Diese wird durch die kreuzweise Wegeführung im Sinne einer möglichst durchlässigen Bebauung unterstützt. Die Hauptadern “Boulevard” und “Parkdiagonale” verweben das neue Wohnquartier mit seiner Umgebung.

Urbansuperforest is a radical way of transforming cities and pushing their complexity by adding a layer based on a new housing typology.

In 2017 a group of citizens realized a rooftop extension shaped like terraced housing platforms at 1st district of Vienna. These platforms were like stacked little paradises covered with dense vegetation. Designing homes based on their own visions of an ideal living environment, they got avantgardes of shaping future cities. Their housing platforms gave specific answers to major problems of modern cities. Using existing infrastructure and extending them vertically with light wooden constructions, result in higher density and reduce land-use. Wood as main structural material lowers primary energy use by 1/3 and functions as gigantic carbon dioxide storage. Combing qualities of forest ecosystems and urban metropolis, the existing city is transforming in a radical way. A synthesis of architecture and nature evolves a complex new organism. In 2050 almost 96% Vienna roofs are activated as URBANSUPERFOREST.

It’s a one time opportunity to design a small house in a very special site next to a lake and surrounded by forest. The allowed footprint was limited by the outline of an old demolished house. To fit the program and maximize usable space we designed a functional wall which has all main functions like kitchen, wash basin, toilet, shower, cupboards, working desks and benches integrated. In a stacked organization the wall is accessible from three levels. The ground floor is the main living room and opens to the outside, while the upper floors are used for sleeping, dwelling and working. The beds are integrated like small cabinets next to the glass facades which gives dramatic views to the lake and the forest. Rotateable wooden facade panels can be closed to protect the house in times the house is not occupied. A small wooden pier stretches out towards the lake and extends the living room to the outside space. A functional openable outdoor kitchen completes the setting and invites his residents for future adventures in the nature.

The housing project is located on a south-east orientated slope on Rosenberg in Graz. A rather heterogeneous surrounding is defined by the transition from historical villas to denser block buildings from the 80ties. In accordance with the request by the city planning department, we designed a split building with a staircase filling the gap. The flats and terraces on the ground follow the terrain and are accomplished by generous balconies and terraces in the upper levels. A simple facade concept of white concrete balconies equipped with metal trough planters provides a cozy atmosphere.

Client: Steyr City

Entering from Michaelerplatz, a wide open colorful portal welcomes us. Through the portal, we enter the entrance tunnel. The tunnel has atmospherically backlit glass walls covered with floral ornament, which creates a friendly coziness. We walk ahead to the reflection of the bright entrance mirror wall, which at the same time serves as a citizen information panel. To the right, we see through the glazed elevator shaft wall in the illuminated shaft covered with the same ornament as the entrance tunnel. We enter the glazed, spacious lift cabin. On the way up, the pattern moves along the shaft walls past us. At a certain point where the lift comes out of the mountain, the shaft walls continue on three sides, whereas the fourth wall opens a view to the hillside. At the next edge of the terrain, the back wall disappears, and the shaft begins in viewing axis to the old town. The two portal walls run as a support of the pattern up to the lift head. Outside both walls are cladded with corten-steel plates. This material also covers the entire skywalk, starting from the Taborweg passing the elevator tangentially and expanding to a viewing platform. There we are experiencing completely new perspectives from the iron city Steyr. The fragile railing of dancing steel bars carries handrails with integrated lighting.

3 strategies for greener and denser cities

Location: Highpark - Sevilla, Spain, Gardenhouses - Graz, Austria, Forest Square - Madrid, Spain

Project Year: 2018

Client: Research

Team: Anna Lamprecht, Robert Lamprecht, Monika Binkowska, Magdalena Opania

01 / HIGH PARK - Sevilla

is a multi-functional extension for dense european cities with lack of green areas. The aim is to combine qualities of a classic park with additional public functions to strengthen local communities. A vertical structure provides open space for different functional programs on several levels, which are extended with large terraces, balconies and roofs. The green areas invite the local inhabitants for social activities in a surrounding of unexpected possibilites. Furthermore the dense green vegetation improves the local micro-climate and air quality of the surrounding.

02 / GARDEN HOUSES - Graz

GARDEN HOUSES is a strategy to double density in single-family housing areas by changing the building regulations. The aim is to use a typical plot of 800sqm which belonged to just one family for multi-family housing. While allowing to connect houses to the plot border with firewalls, the center of the plot has space for central semi-public space. A terraced organization of the building heights allows the use of generous roof gardens for flats in upper levels. Additional positive effects result in higher flexibility in space organization, creating communities, and increasing living qualities while having a similar single-family house feeling.

03 / FOREST SQUARE - Madrid

PLAZA MAYOR in Madrid is a well-known urban square in Europe. It is an example, which reflects the ideal of nowadays architects and city planners, how a multifunctional urban square should look. The fact that the square was historically a garden with lush green and fountains made us curious. The square was transformed to the actual status mainly because of the construction of underground parking in the 80ies. It is a reminder, how easy we accept the status quo after some decades, without knowing the important qualities of the previous square. To show the potential with the implementation of trees, green areas, benches, fountains seems as logical as welcome in the local dry and hot climate of Madrid.

ARCHITEKTONISCHES KONZEPT

Ein 4,4m Achsraster bildet ein statisch, wie räumliches Grundgerüst. Die Eckstützen definieren Raumzonen und ergeben ein komplexes, durch transparente Ausbauteile, vielschichtig, durchsehbares Raumgefüge. Innerhalb dieser robusten Grundstruktur kann auch zukünftig, durch den einfachen Tausch von Ausbauteilen, eine flexible Nutzung erfolgen. Einzelne Räume werden durch Doppeltür-, bzw. Schiebetürelemente zusammenschaltbar und als Raumschichtung in orthogonaler als auch diagonaler Richtung erlebbar.

RAUMMODULE

Dem Stützensystem werden Raummodule mit identen Dachformen eingeschrieben. Sämtliche Gruppenräume werden räumlich mit den dazugehörigen Nebenräumen und einer gebäudeintegrierten Terrasse zu einem Modul zusammengefasst. Eine flexible Nutzung als Kindergarten bzw. Kinderkrippe ist damit ohne Umbau möglich.
Für die mögliche Erweiterung können weitere Raummodule ergänzt werden.

DACHRAUM

Das aufgesetzte räumliche Dachfaltwerk weitet den Raum nach oben hin auf und ermöglicht durch Oberlichtfenster eine gute Belichtung tiefer Raumbereiche. Tageslicht aus unterschiedlichen Himmelsrichtungen färbt den Innenraum je nach Tageszeit. Die gewonnene Raumhöhe lässt eine Platform über den Sanitärboxen zu. Diese kann als Ausweichraum für die Kinderkrippe bzw. Spielgalerie für den Kindergarten verwendet werden. Die kreuzförmige Trägerstruktur unterstützt die Raumzonierung und ermöglicht die Montage von Spielgeräten, Vorhängen, etc.

DACHLANDSCHAFT

Die Dachfläche als 5.Fassade ist von den “Kipferlhäusern” gut einsehbar. Durch die modulartigen Dachschalen entsteht durch den Einsatz einer intensiven Begrünung eine hügelige Dachlandschaft. Das Retentionsvolumen der Humusschicht entlastet die Versickerungsanlage und gibt darüberhinaus auch Lebensraum für Insekten und Lebewesen der bebauten Bestandswiese zurück.

FREIRAUM

Jedem Gruppenraum wird eine überdachte gebäudeintegrierte Terrasse zugeordnet. Diese Terrasse versteht sich als Freilufterweiterung des Gruppenraumes und schafft einen fließenden Übergang zum Garten. Zur besseren Benutzbarkeit der Terrasse dient der Sanitärraum als Schleuse. Schmutzgewand kann dort gewechselt und die Notdurft unkompliziert verrichtet werden. Die Betreuer/innen haben überdies vollen Überblick im Wechsel zwischen Innen- und Außen.

/ Two Worlds /

Two worlds, two words and one dialog. A dialog between the national heritage museum with the new proposed underground extension. A unique relationship based on respect and rules. Every single intervention is set carefully with regards to the historical context. A strict line was drawn defining the two outdoor spaces of a specific quality, the garden, and the square. The edge is lifting, creating a corner in the park thus unveiling a hidden area, the entrance to the new annex.

/ The Square /

Honoring the cultural significance of the national museum, a red carpet connects the old building with the new proposal. Welcoming the visitors and guiding them to the annex entrance. The design of the square pattern is reinterpreting the traditional Finnish carpet, enhancing thus a dialog between the old and the new. The square provides endless variations for its use, thanks to its generous size and the proposed mobile benches.

/ The Garden /

Minimal interventions achieve a respectful and harmonic design of the garden. The annex positions itself carefully in between of the protected trees as well as the current paths. Furthermore, it preserves the magnificent trees and replants smaller trees. Its character is strengthened by the folded green roof, that frames the entrance to the annex.

The garden contrasts the square with the planting of trees, bushes, and grass. A relaxing atmosphere invites people to enjoy the scenic location of this cultural heritage.

/ Annex /

A dialog always starts with a single word, continues as a sentence, and its result is complex yet unpredictable. Consequently, the highly sophisticated form of the Annex' center is derived from a simple square, that develops through shifting and rotation into a highly sophisticated form.

The aesthetically pleasing structure is constructed of wooden frames. Each of them is composed of thin lamellas and wide ones that serve as seating stairs, and provide scenic views to the old museum building. Additionally, they contribute to the unique character of the Café and Restaurant that open towards the outdoor terrace and the park.

The spacing of this sustainable construction is flooding the underground area with daylight. Furthermore, comfortable wooden stairs were added, enabling thus the access from the park. Entering the Annex from the square, the subterranean space of the entrance foyer is directly accessible.

The floorplan is organized around the dramatic patio space with regards to the magnificent tree. All service functions requiring natural light are arranged beneath a small glazed patio near the Annex entrance, which also brings daylight to the workshops in the second underground level.

The multifunctional exhibition hall is adjacent to the foyer. A continuous room with entrance and restaurant can be created by opening a series of wooden elements and glass walls. This space can be directly accessible by internal stairs. The delivery for the exhibition space is easily organized by the connection to the existing underground loading bay, and furthermore, the significant artifacts can be delivered through the void of the patio.

By moving and exploring the foyer, the historical site appears and disappears, creating an extraordinary experience for its visitors. The quiet atmosphere of the park completes the play of light in the patio space.

Two buildings spatially form the main functions of the concert hall and the music school. The locally striking form of the 4-sided farm houses is found as music court, as well as roof construction of the large hall, referring to the site. The two main volumes are enclosed by a translucent façade, which forms outdoor spaces in the form of courtyards. The courtyards serve as a spatial extension for the music school and the concert hall. A spacious entrance courtyard is located to Langenharterstraße and forms the transition between a heterogeneous environment and an introverted spatial structure. The translucent facade functions as filter to the outside world and transforms the interior into a festive stage for a versatile event program.

OUTDOOR SPACES
3 courtyards are designed according to their use.
In the entrance courtyard you find yourself in an introverted square with urban elements such as groups of trees, benches, garden on a large part of paved ground.
A contemplative patio is created in the music courtyard. The up-lights of the performance hall are framed with planters and form shaded seating benches. The courtyard becomes the quiet center of the music school.
A paradise garden is created in the paradise courtyard. It serves as an extended backdrop for the large hall and frames every event with lush nature.
A sequence of different interior and exterior spaces gives a variety of outsight, insights and perspectives.

The urban organization of the buildings tries to continue the village structure of the surrounding in a compact way. The outlines of each individual apartment type are translated into 2-3-storey "houses" and arranged in their orientation and materiality to a colorful ensemble. The staircases extend the sidewalk system of the quarter in a vertically way between the houses and form compact structures. Variously designed façades increase the individuality and give each apartment an individual character. Residents and visitors will experience a high degree of recognition and a distinctive addressing. The centrally located Quarter-Square forms a center for new neighborhoods and plenty of space for outdoor activities. The place is allocated a play area for children and a common room for the whole neighborhood. An east-west oriented "Boulevard" crosses the property and connects the north-south running access roads with the square. A lively neighborhood with densely landscaped gardens and colorful houses creates a framework for happy residents.

The 3rd teacher

“ There are three teachers of children: adults, other children, and their physical environment.” – Loris Malaguzzi

The new elementary school in Andritz takes this understanding as a starting point and develops a multi-layered and flexible spatial structure which refers to the local context. Reflecting the local scale, modular volumes are being developed, which are organized into a two-storey complex. An outdoor stripe in form of patios, gardens, terraces and green roofs, runs through the school and creates a versatile school landscape. Based on a simple main structure, a functional, airy, bright and complex organism emerges and offers a stimulating learning environment for pupils, parents and teachers.
