Techelsberg Community Centre

The aim of the project was to give the village of St. Martin am Techelsberg a „centre” and thus also the community of Techelsberg am Wörther See a localised identity. This new building functions as a space-forming element in the village, with visual relationships to its church, rectory, chaplaincy and pub. The assembly hall is designed as a „landmark“ in the middle of the structural ensemble and is oriented towards the square and in view of the southeastern landscape area. This connection accentuates the identity-forming elements of the place. All essential functions are located on the square level, while partial areas are accommodated in the basement. The building’s interior areas are closely interlocked with the exterior areas of the square, thus creating flowing transitions. The village square “merges” with the foyer, Citizens Service and communication areas. The multi-purpose hall can be opened generously towards the square as an extended spectator area. The community hall is a visible “landmark”, while the administrative areas with their extensive roof greenery recede into the background.
