Elbbrücken U4 Underground Station
A new railway station in Hamburg is the largest urban development project in Europe. As part of this mega-project, our company is also involved as an intermediary of the German company SHE Engineering GmbH, in the development of a project for the steel part of the railway station. The roof structure is 136 meters long, 31.7 meters wide and 15.85 meters high. The total weight is 440 tons.
Baumer
The Baumer Grope is one of the worldwide leading manufacturers of sensors, encoders, measuring instruments and components for automation processes. The high requirement for the building, the material, and the complexity of technical equipment like electricity and room conditions, construction started in early July 2018. The turn-key construction process with all phases was finished in April. Technical inspection from the government bodies as well as full documentation and
The Environment Sets the Tone
Reaching the highest level of eco-friendliness was a central goal of this storey-addition in Tyrol. For the clients, it was an affair of heart to renounce chemicals and petroleum-based construction materials wherever possible. The location right in the middle of nature served as a point of reference for planning. Correspondingly, the building should unite aesthetics with ecological spirits. The construction consists of a complete wooden cladding and puts
Contrasting Minimalism
In a rural area, surrounded by greenery, the proximity to nature could not be more present. Encircled by the property’s tree population, stands now a building in a class of its own, which elegantly blends into nature with its serene natural larch wood facade. In the planning process, the desire for plenty of community space and family life, the connection to nature and sustainability were key factors. The
The Way to the Summit
The main subjects of the modern storey-addition in Tyrol were the picturesque mountain scenery of the Stubai Valley and the parents of the client. Their deep rootedness in the Tyrolean region and their heartedness should be taken up in the planning and incorporated into the architecture. This philosophy not only paid homage to the Stubaital, but also to the parents of the builders. Their personality should provide a
Integrative housing St. Gallenkirch
Variance instead of addition For living and playing with the Rubik's cube ”Housing means experiencing a state of protected weakness” - says Peter Sloterdijk - and further: ”In this sense, a good home is the architectural equivalent of love – it allows you to be weak in it without making it strike a strong pose”. Approaching this weakness with devotion requires intimacy as well as empathy and
Municipal buildings Mellau
The current, historic village structure of the Bregenzerwald municipality of Mellau consists of a multitude of interconnected outdoor spaces of the most varied design. The porosity of these urban-village places is only created by this all-over interweaving. The new municipal core is an integrative component of this structure. The two new buildings of the kindergarten and the multi-purpose hall, together with the existing primary school, form a village
House of the Generations
With the new building and the addition of the home for the elderly the unique chance of the new formulation of the public area in the center of Götzis was offered. The new 3-floored structure shows two care levels with two housing groups and towards the place a public level with dark framework elements, filled with ocher opaque glass surfaces some are shielded by curtains. Through three deep
The Veil, Astana
The Veil, located on the outskirts of the city of Nur Sultan (Astana) near the Ishim River and adjacent to one of the main urban routes, creates a visual link for the two banks of the city. The process of great expansion spanning this part of the region held great importance in influencing the design strategy adopted. The concept, inspired by the typical circular yurt tents of the population of
Il frantoio, Arco
The project was realized on an extensive plot of land full of old olive trees not far from the northern shore of Lake Garda. It was particularly important to us to incorporate the building as harmoniously and inconspicuously as possible into the cultural landscape, terraced by old natural stone walls. This was achieved by opting for a single-storey building that nestles against the existing slope. The materials used harmonize
Hotel Zermama, Zermatt
Hotel Mama is centrally located in the fashionable town of Zermatt, steeped-in-tradition, with a view of the world-famous Matterhorn. The aim of the architectural design was to create a characteristic building envelope that reflects the energy of the new management, without introducing an element that would seem out of place in the structural context. This is achieved through the combination of strong angular reveals, modern design language and the use
Villa Belvedere, Costermano
The private home was realized in Costermano, in the hills on the shore of Lake Garda. The slightly sloping building plot is located above a small olive grove, over which you have a wonderful view of the green hilly landscape down to the lake. The two-storey building therefore presents itself very differently: to the north towards the street, the largely closed facade preserves the privacy of the residents, whereas
