Villa Salonis
The building ensemble is located in a hamlet of Enneberg at a height of 1,200 meters and it refers to the building tradition of the “viles”.

Hotel Comfort Prague
The concept behind the hotel entrance area is to create a new line of communication which links the public area in front of the hotel to the hotel lobby in a fluid manner. This will create a pedestrian axis, or “street” which is synonymous for urban life, full of attractions, places to stop, shopping opportunities and places to meet. Hotel visitors will come across this cultivated urban space upon
Residential unit Spojovací, Čelákovice was

A simple, functional concept which was finally realised after many years’ preparation. The apartment building contains 75 units, and additional commercial premises.

The main structure of the hostel is designed as a longitudinal timber structure.
Fein 1 Central, Tel Aviv
Located in south Tel Aviv, a degraded area experiencing rapid transformations, the apartment complex introduces much needed housing and street-front commercial spaces, while preserving fragments of the existing structure. Moving away from the characteristic Tel Aviv building typology by inverting the typical box building inside – out, the 6 storey building provides apartments with cross ventilation, while the inner courtyard becomes a focal area of the complex allowing for large
Barn 21, Třebešice

Office Building Rathausstraße 1 – BUWOG Headquarter, Vienna
Concept The design won an open international architecture competition in 2013. The concept envisages the integration of an urban office building into a historical environment while taking a distinctive and contemporary approach. Although manifesting as a freestanding monolithic building, a perceptual grid interacts with its context. The development out of the analytical parameter-trio: depth, material and detailing is most prominently reflected in the outer façade cladding. The Arcade, mezzanine,
Riepl Gründe, Gallneukirchen
The urban character of the new buildings pays homage to the brushstroke and the rhythms of the existing city. Widenings and narrowings between the individual elements define clear urban spaces and spatial sequences: opposite the rectory, a small town square serves as the entrée to the new district. From the square, a path leads via a set of stairs to Gaisbacher Strasse. On the northeast corner, the highest point, where
Neubau Hort zur Volksschule 49, „Robinsonschule“
The newly erected after-school care building provides space for five after-care groups. Inside the wooden frame construction, fir wood glazed with white oil creates a bright atmosphere that contrasts with the terrazzo artificial stone floor. Glass-sliding doors separate the learning and play areas. Large-format glazing and terraces in front open the group-rooms to the outside. The corridor-side walls of the group rooms are reinforced concrete. It offers the mass
House Plechinger
The building site is in Hagenberg im Mühlkreis, a municipality with 2800 inhabitants in the Mühlviertel. On the property there is already a single-family house built in the 1980s. Another wooden building was to be built. The constraints of the site and the existing building allowed for a special building design. The result of the designprocess was a 22m long and 5m wide single-family house with a gable roof.
