Design of an office building complex for new HQ for Vienna Airport Administration,
Austria
Invited competition, second stage
The shape of the building derives from the process of optimising the use of the site. This is achieved by shifting volumes and introducing monumental gates, penetrating the building complex referencing to Viennese architecture.The urban strategy aims at an unique conjunction between natural and built environment, by connecting an urban piazza with a park landscape via the main gate.
The internal organisation offers flexibility for open-plan and individual offices and communication and conference facilities. An intelligent double glass facade acting as a thermal and acoustic buffer as well as a secondary infrastructure envelops the building.
