Spar Hartl

The project focuses on revitalizing and expanding a supermarket located in the heart of a village, prioritizing the preservation of its central location over constructing a new building on a greenfield site. By committing to the existing site, the project reinforces the supermarket’s role as a community hub for both residents and visitors.

Beyond its commercial purpose, the upper floor remains a dedicated space for the local music association. The design approach aimed to modernize the aging structure while expanding the sales area and adding a new wing to accommodate office spaces and staff break rooms. The logistics infrastructure was upgraded, including an enlarged storage area and a newly configured delivery zone.

An L-shaped roof, seamlessly integrated into the design, shelters the delivery area to the north and the main entrance to the east. Its folded geometry serves as a distinctive visual feature, embodying the building’s new identity.
