ARCHITECTURE
Haus am Bach´l
An ingenious timber structure is supported by a solid basement, which is enclosed in a predominantly vertically slatted larch screen. Much of the structure of the Haus am Bach is flexible, featuring sloping fronts, unconventional incisions, and roof constructions – often without right angles but with an incredibly attractive variety. The light-colored, horizontally slatted silver fir inside the hillside house creates a pleasant contrast to the flamed facade.
EKKO – Bordeaux
Located on the right bank of the Garonne River, the Ekko residence consists of a building with forty-nine apartments ranging from T1 to T5, covering a living area of 3.260 m2. The materials used include various bio-sourced materials such as wood, hemp concrete, and terracotta. These eco-friendly elements contribute to reducing summer temperatures in the city. The contemporary reinterpretation of Bordeaux’s urban landscape is evident in the choice of light
Zaimov Housing
The building is a multi-family residence situated in the central area of Sofia, Bulgaria, near Zaimov Park. Characterized by urban disarray, the location lacks a specific stylistic context. The aim was to create a timeless design with a nod to mid-century Sofia architecture. Exterior materials were carefully selected to achieve this aesthetic, including white hammered limestone, wood, and metal. The small size of the plot, along with other urban factors,
Mirrors of Zlín
The multimedia exhibition portrays 700 years of Zlín’s history. In the initial segment, we explore writer Pavel Kosatik’s unique perspective on the city's evolution, enriched with our own illustrations. This establishes an intergenerational dialogue between text and imagery, shaping the exhibition's overall narrative. Following this, visitors are immersed in a film depicting key moments in Zlín's past, capturing various seasons and lighting conditions. The exhibition's centerpiece is a collection of
Aquarium
Looking into the aquarium, which mirrors the ocean's interior through glass, one sees vast expanses, rocky formations, vegetation, and cavernous openings blending seamlessly in an undivided space. The environment brightens toward the water's surface above, where fish traverse different levels engaging in location-appropriate activities. This urban habitat demands multiple layers to be established. By envisioning a space akin to underwater realms, I believed it possible to craft a spacious living
Family house in Trnava
This project embodies a contrast between "raw" materials and a warm atmosphere. Throughout the design process, we aimed to harmonize aesthetics with functionality, resulting in a space that caters to the entire family's needs. Despite its apparent simplicity, the house incorporates a myriad of unique solutions tailored to the owners' requirements. Our team's creativity was challenged not only in conceptualizing the design but also in navigating complex construction details and

Helio Tower
The Erdberger Mais area, where BEHF Architects were commissioned for urban planning and the development of the HELIO Tower, holds significant importance in Vienna's urban development. Situated at the entrance to the new Döblerhofquartier as part of the residential project THE MARKS, the HELIO Tower stands in direct dialogue with the Gasometers. Comprising three residential towers on a common base, the ensemble is connected by a site-spanning bicycle arcade, a
ASO Mattighofen
The Allgemeine Sonderschule ASO, located in Mattighofen, Upper Austria, caters to children with partially increased learning and support needs. Situated adjacent to the Middle School and the Polytechnic School, the new building is designed on a single level (ground floor), ensuring seamless accessibility for all visitors. Constructed entirely from wood, the school features a facade with ventilated construction and a flat roof designed as green roof constructions on a cross-laminated
Aufbahrungshalle Kirchham
Body and mind, mortal shell and immortal soul – the interplay of heaviness and lightness. Two entities confront each other: the massive, concrete-heavy cube, the "shrine" bearing the weight of death and the notches of life, engages in a dialogue with the floating, light-filled wing, symbolizing the transition into another, spiritualized condition. The facade design features the concrete gray plastered basic shape of the cube, complemented by vertical visible formwork

Bethel Evangelical Church
The new Lutheran church of Piliscsaba, situated conveniently for the settlement's residents at the corner of Széchenyi Street and Szent László Street, proudly displays the Lutheran Church's mission statement: “evidently Lutheran”. From a liturgical standpoint, it features a unified central space adorned with point-like light sources arranged in star shapes on the ceiling, symbolically representing the vault of the entire created world. However, the planned new church serves not only
