Collège d’Orlinde Bretenoux / Dietrich | Untertrifaller + phBa architectes

Valeria Silva — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 06:00:00 +0000

A school made of wood, shadow, and light and a positive-energy building with a low carbon footprint to promote the circular economy. In most of our school buildings, wood is omnipresent to create a light, warm atmosphere conducive to learning and a sense of togetherness. This is the case also for our D’Orlinde Middle School in Bretenoux. Situated on the junction of two communes, shaping a public square, it shall help to revitalize this area, currently changing. The single-storey building is reminiscent of the regional medieval bastides and thanks to the chosen materials, it is naturally embedded in its rural surroundings. Nonetheless, it offers a touch of urban flair at the entrance to the village.

Kaltensteinhalle - Timber Sports Hall / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 27 Dec 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The new sports hall at the Alter Postweg in Vaihingen an der Enz (Baden-Württemberg) is designed as a compact, functional and very economical timber element construction. Only the parts in contact with the ground are made of reinforced concrete. It is divided into a three-field sports hall with spectator area, a three-storey functional area and a multi-purpose wing with foyer. All functions are united under one roof.

Lakeside House / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 07 Oct 2021 02:00:00 +0000

The house on the lake refers to the local boat and fishing houses and follows the tradition of rural construction by the water. Lightness, a low, wide roof structure, and a strong emphasis on the horizontal determine the design.

House STA / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Valeria Silva — Thu, 09 Sep 2021 12:00:00 +0000

The residential building from the 1960s no longer met contemporary requirements, neither visually, ecologically, nor in terms of the room layout. A conversion would not have been profitable, so we decided to demolish the house down to the basement and build a new two-storey wooden construction on top.

House P / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Andreas Luco — Tue, 07 Sep 2021 02:00:00 +0000

On the edge of a densely built residential area in the Allgäu hills, we created a well-conceived wooden house for a variety of uses. The adjacent popular recreation and landscape conservation area prompted us to incorporate the surrounding nature into the design of the house. The new building follows the proportions of the desolate existing building from the 1960s. The staggered storey set back from the street communicates with the slope, whose original steepness we have restored. The restrained, horizontally structured architecture with a façade made of local wood blends harmoniously into the natural surroundings. Floor-to-ceiling glazing, visual axes and open living spaces that offer numerous views stage nature and bring it into the house.

House of Music / ARGE Strolz + Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Andreas Luco — Sat, 24 Jul 2021 09:00:00 +0000

Prominently located in Innsbruck’s cultural center, this project was conceived for open cultural exchange across all ages and genres. The unifying element is music. The building’s simple volume belies the extreme programmatic complexity as it houses multiple musical institutions, concert halls, administration, dining, and adjoining rooms, a national music library, and outdoor terraces with views of Innsbruck and the Alps.

Unterdorf Elementary School / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Andreas Luco — Sun, 18 Jul 2021 06:00:00 +0000

The elementary school provides an ideal educational facility for modern pedagogic approaches. It is an uncompromising example of cluster design offering a flexible and nurturing learning environment. In an elegant, one-story wooden structure, four identical teaching clusters are situated around a top-lighted lounge with a raised roof. The flat building blends harmoniously into the environment of single-family houses. The schoolyard in front of the auditorium is connected to the Unterdorf path network. Local residents can use parts of the outdoor areas and sports facilities.

Christian-Bucher-Gasse Elementary School / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Andreas Luco — Fri, 16 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000

The architectural concept of the Christian-Bucher-Gasse elementary school, which dates back to the 1950s, combines the existing structure with the new buildings into a harmonious, functional school complex with a large, protected inner courtyard. 17 additional classrooms, a sports hall, a gymnasium, recreational classes, media, and workrooms plus a cafeteria have increased the student capacity by one-third to 425 children. The construction work was carried out in four phases so as not to interfere with the ongoing function of the school.

House in the Vineyards / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten + Alexander Janowsky

Andreas Luco — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 10:00:00 +0000

The unique site of the house on a steep slope on the outskirts of Vienna captivates with a fantastic panoramic view over vineyards and local mountains to the Danube. With this in mind, we and the client pursued the goal of bringing this scenery into the house and making it a tangible experience. A 36-meter-long glazed beam with an external graphite-grey steel structure floats 12 meters above the massive base, cantilevering freely. On the street side, the garage with storage and technical rooms is pushed into the slope.

House K / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Alexandria Bramley — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 03:00:00 +0000

In the far north of the Bregenzerwald lies the small community of Sulzberg on the ridge of the same-named mountain. We built a house on a steep slope in the middle of a densely built-up residential area, which makes perfect use of the limited plot of land. Due to the extreme slope, we have divided the spaces into three floors.

Via Donau Administration / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 10:00:00 +0000

The long, one-story structure perfectly and naturally merges into the existing ensemble on the banks of the Danube. Yet it successfully redefines the place, recharges it, and provides it with a new unique identity. Floating on a “high-water platform”, its subtle elegance radiates far into the river basin and reflects the interplay between longitudinal wood volumes and transversed rural massive buildings.

Collège Simone Veil / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten + Colas Durand Architectes

Alexandria Bramley — Fri, 09 Jul 2021 03:00:00 +0000

The College in Lamballe (Brittany, France), planned for 820 students, is mainly constructed in timber. It consists of two separate buildings: a long rectilinear parallelepiped rests on a gently curved base, to echo the site’s topography and fit in with the landscape.

Public Library Dornbirn / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten + Christian Schmoelz Architekt

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 02:00:00 +0000

The public library of Dornbirn was designed as an inter-generational sharing, meeting, and learning space. It promotes reading, the practice of languages, the exploration of computerized research methods, and new forms of communication. “The new library is a milestone for Dornbirn’s culture and education,” says Mayor Andrea Kaufmann happily.

Legero United Campus / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Andreas Luco — Sat, 17 Apr 2021 05:00:00 +0000

The Legero United Campus near Graz consists of two differently sized rings. Generous glazing, the facade of bronze-colored anodized aluminum changing in sunlight, and the lushly planted inner courtyards blur the boundaries between inside and outside. The larger office ring is designed to be topped up by an additional floor at any time, meeting the customer’s desire for a ‘growing’ headquarter that can be extended without producing temporary measures.

House R / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Paula Pintos — Thu, 25 Mar 2021 02:00:00 +0000

The idyllic town of Margrethausen, a district of Albstadt, is embedded in the gently rolling hills of the Swabian Alb. hilly landscape of the Swabian Alb. The sloping property on the edge of the village next to the mighty monastery offers an unobstructed view southwards over meadows and forests. This special location prompted us to glaze the entire south side of the saddle roof house right up to the gable. An essential goal of the design and the express wish of the client was to use future-oriented, sustainable materials and to integrate the building harmoniously into its surroundings.

Hypo / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Sabrina Leiva — Fri, 05 Jan 2018 11:00:00 +0000

This was once the site of the Montfort, a hotel built in Bregenz in 1877 during the Gründerzeit era. In 1921, architect Willibald Braun erected an adjoining and historicizing building with a neo-classicist façade for the Provincial Parliament of Vorarlberg. The hotel, the “Graues Haus” (grey house), served as an administration building to the Provincial Government. Between 1981 and 1984, after the construction of the new parliament, it was replaced by a postmodernist office and commercial building with an inclined roof. The building is linked to the city centre via a diagonal passage. Extensive refurbishments, to be completed by 2008, will once again redefine this part of the city.

Elementary School Edlach / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Rayen Sagredo — Wed, 02 Aug 2017 14:00:00 +0000

New pedagogical concepts ask for new architectural forms. To transform the elementary school in Edlach into a contemporary cluster school, the new building arranges the master classes and group rooms as small units and offers a wide range of spatial configurations. The circulation space is reduced to a minimum.

Bon Lait Sports Hall / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten

Cristobal Rojas — Fri, 28 Jul 2017 11:00:00 +0000

The multi-functional sports hall is timber-frame constructed with straw insulation and forms a neighborhood hub in the heart of Bon Lait, an urban development area in the Lyonnais district of Gerland. The hall is available to both the primary and secondary schools as well as to local clubs and sports enthusiasts, and is a social meeting place for the locals throughout the week. The allocation plan consists of a triple gym for various ball sports and a training hall for martial arts, dance and gymnastics.
