Text description provided by the architects. The borders of the property - a vacant lot close to the centre in the Upper Austrian town Wallern - precisely define the foundation of this solid concrete construction, which was completed in 2009. The expressive shape of the building does not originate in the need for architectural statements, but expresses a clear answer to the task of designing the building: maximum usability on a minimum footprint. Despite the cramped plot, bordered by two old buildings, the multi-purpose structure provides space for events with up to 400 people. The two upper floors cantilever out into the street, thus expanding the available space inside and providing covered access outside.
