Fitas Passage, İstanbul
Fitas Passage seeks a diffused relationship to the street for a modern arcade building in Istanbul. Istiklal Street, a vibrant pedestrian axis in the heart of Istanbul, has witnessed huge changes in the urban fabric over the years, losing the three-dimensional quality once embodied in the vertical street signs which characterised its urban grain. The project aims to restore the diversity of functions within the Fitas (Fitash) Passage and

A tranquil, square building rises up above the existing hilltop site. It is the main building in the Lilienberg domain, and as such an annex to the already existing operational facility in which the wine is processed.

Clear forms, straight lines and cubic volumes characterise the now-completed ensemble.
Merkur Campus Graz

Martins Bridge near Zirl – pedestrian and cycle path bridge over the Inn, Zirl
The new pedestrian and cycle path bridge "Martinsbrücke" over the Inn, connects the communities Zirl and Unterperfuss and now enables a direct connection to the Inn cycle path.

Genius loci, a house with sloping roof, has been preserved while its redesign on the ground floor has refreshed its primary architectural language.The new motif was found in the longitudinal proportion and the asymmetry of the new terrace, which takes over the role of the former access porch and extends from the side to the slope in the full width of the house, forming an invisible volume together with the
Signal Box Lungitz, Katsdorf
The shape of the signal box Lungitz derives from existing traditional service buildings going along with the rail tracks. The traditional roof is used in an abstract way without an overhang. A cutting as the entrance and various circular openings for ventilation form the final appearance of the corten steel coverage which was chosen for its railroad typical patina. In that way the signal boxes appearance differs clearly from passenger
