3rd Prize in the competition cooperated with Andreas Dworschak, Archinauten in Linz.
The building derives its forms from the urban planning of the place. dynamic volumes, formal unity and loosening open spaces lead to architectural independence and conciseness of the design. it is less the height than its expressive form that makes the building stand out. the vertical compaction of the building masses on blumauer straße marks the edges of the urban space, while the zoning of the floors, through the stepped base, forms the structural transition to the RLB campus.
The geometric entanglement of the two kidney-shaped volumes around a common center not only creates its striking outer shape, the interior is also characterized by strikingly staggered spatial sequences.
This center, the central atrium forms a vertical indoor campus around which the working and communication world of the new group headquarters is built. the green heart with its viewing stairs and connecting bridges becomes an experience space with meeting and communication zones.
Each department forms its own identity, but due to its arrangement around the central center, it is always perceivable as part of the whole. the high level of transparency and the resulting visual references allow every employee to take part in what is happening in the company. the core potential of a company is its partners and employees. The aim of the building structure is to create a lot of space for innovation and flexibility in an inspiring atmosphere.
