A former storage in contiguity to Innsbruck’s nightclub district at the ground level of a house built in the 1970s has been transformed into an architecture office. in this socio-cultural neighborhood of alternative culture clubs, music bars, and nightclubs as well as homeless and refugees care-centers, the ground-level shop-office allows bad architects group to participate passively at the city live while working long hours, quasi as passive flaneur. through innovative office design the office becomes a stage, and the lightened sliding door the stage design and eye-catcher.
The innovative sliding-wall structures the L-shaped ground floor plan, dividing the main office space from the secondary office spaces like meeting-room, kitchen, bathrooms, model making-shop and storage. the sliding-wall is made of foam, making out of a basic building material a luxury item. the panels of the foam wall are mounted on a sliding rail to the ceiling. the whole floor is covered with orange linoleum; the ceilings in the main office area and the meeting room are covered with foam panels like they are used in music studios, in order to approve the acoustic climate in the large office space.

how bad do you have to be employed by this office?
The exterior looked promising, but the second I saw that interior shot…
Exteriors of first good
Beautiful Workspace
How did you cut those foam dividers ? wouldn’t they break easily ?
the building is nice, but what im really excited about is the name of the group
the really interesting thing is not the look of this office but direct connection of nightlife of the street and the (bad :) architectural work
I also love the name of the firm – but ironically, think this is one of the “less good” project’s they’ve done. It’s rather muddled, and I think the exterior blending of old facade and new first-story opening is as unfortunate as similar attempts done by misguided architects in the 60s.
cool office, with a very nice and ironic ‘foamous’ screen, good connection with the street and… a lot of storage space!
Well done!
can you tell me about the site size??
halla w ghalla ya labeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh ya 6am 6am ya bollaaaa
I’ve been browsing online greater than three hours these days, yet I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours. It?s lovely worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content material as you did, the net shall be much more useful than ever before.
