HYPO PASSAGE BREGENZ by Ostertag Architects

Gateway to Lake Constance: The newly designed passageway provides a direct link between the city center and Lake Constance, forming an important urban axis and representing a significant step in the development of “Bregenz Mitte”. Barrier-free and generously dimensioned for pedestrian and bicycle traffic, the passageway crosses under the multi-lane Seestraße, providing direct access to the shores of Lake Constance and the Arlbergbahn railway station.

This innovative urban structure promotes a joyful and sustainable way of life in the city of Bregenz. Connected to the busy Lochau-Bregenz cycle route, the passageway is also used by many people as a direct cycle connection to the city center. The consistent use of exposed concrete creates a compact homogeneity and forms a clear urban landmark. The new access pavilion on the lake promenade has rapidly become a popular meeting place and venue for outdoor activities.
