Allesamt Familycenter / Christian Schmoelz Architekt

Hadir Al Koshta — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000

As everywhere else, demand for childcare and, beyond that, advice and support for families is growing in Nenzing. Close to the town centre, the market town has now combined these two functions in one building: the 'Allesamt' family centre with childcare, a nursery, and a spacious advice area for parents and families. Anyone travelling by train in Walgau will certainly have seen the new building as they pass by. The striking wooden building designed by Christian Schmoelz Architekt is located just before or shortly after Nenzing railway station, directly on the railway line.

Bregenzerwald Vacation Home / Architektur-SCHWEIGHOFER

Valeria Silva — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 10:00:00 +0000

After inspection of the 60`s container home, it was clear that an extension or repurposing of the building was economically not viable. We made the decision to reuse the existing foundations and their dimensions for a new building that could house the client's whole family. Our goal was to keep proportions, form, and orientation in line with the surrounding buildings and still achieve a modern confident building that represents the regional construction methods. With that, the decision for a solid wood construction was clear, as it offered not only structural and thermic advantages but made for a very authentic and warm surface on the inside. Wall and ceiling elements were prefabricated with the necessary openings for installation, which required precise planning on our part.

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.

15 Incredible Architectural Works in the Mountains

María Francisca González — Sat, 14 Dec 2019 07:35:00 +0000

The mountains—one of the contexts that almost every architect would like to build in at least once. And yet even though it's an attractive setting, the associated challenges, including, but not limited to the sheer remoteness of mountain regions and their distance from basic services, make building in the mountains particularly demanding.

We've compiled a selection of 15 incredible works of architecture that maximize the breathtaking surroundings found in mountainous areas, featuring photographs from Felipe Camus, Janez Martincic, and Anze Cokl.

Hotel Revier / Carlos Martinez Architekten

Daniel Tapia — Mon, 26 Mar 2018 02:00:00 +0000

Simplistic Luxury
Natural, authentic and trend-oriented. When a sports hotel is reduced to the bare essentials, a feeling of freedom towards life as well as an unconventional architectural concept is created. The long, narrow building perches on the edge of steep terrain with the sweeping mountain forest in the background. The two lightly angled elements of the building follow the shoreline of the Heidsee. The front of the structure with a lobby, bar, and restaurant faces the entrance to the Rothorn cable car invitingly and forms the communal center of the hotel. An additional four floors with a total of 96 rooms are supported above this massive ground-floor foundation where the generously scaled winter sports room and bicycle room are located.

Motorway Maintenance Centre Salzburg / Marte.Marte Architects

Daniela Cardenas — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 01:00:00 +0000

The design of the new motorway maintenance centre is strongly influenced by its direct access to the motorway. The centre is nestled into the sloping plain of the northwest quadrant. The entrance is located on the northwest side of the site and a flat ramp leads down to the existing underpass.

The Maiden Tower / Marte.Marte Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Mon, 01 Jun 2015 01:00:00 +0000

What could match the massive presence of Marte‘s concrete home, this raw, stony material, this self-contained unit? Oxidizing steel: just as raw, just as authentic in its expression and its properties.

Roman Villa / Marte.Marte Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Thu, 28 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The excavations at the roman villa in Brederis offer important insights on Roman settlement history in the Feldkirch area.

Sunset Park Material Recovery Facility / Selldorf Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Tue, 27 May 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The Sunset Park Material Recovery Facility is a processing center for New York City’s curbside metal, glass, and plastic recyclables which is being undertaken by Sims Municipal Recycling and the City of New York. Located on an 11 acre waterfront pier in Sunset Park, the design was influenced by its programmatic use as a recycling center which inspired reuse throughout.

Schanerloch Bridge / Marte.Marte Architects

Jonathan Alarcón — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The bridge through the Schanerloch gorge is part of the impressive road from the city of Dornbirn to the hamlet of Ebnit which picturesquely situated by the well of the river Dornbirner Ache at the foot of scenic mountains. The spectacular route to this ancient settlement area is characterized by a series of natural rock tunnels and stone bridges.

House by the Lake / Marte.Marte Architects

Jonathan Alarcón — Tue, 01 Oct 2013 00:00:00 +0000

A group of middle-class houses, mainly built in the first half of the 20th century, are located above the Herz-Jesu church at the foot of the prominent Pfänder mountainside in Bregenz. The size of the house blends in with the other sporadic, villa-like houses, and the compact, square exposed concrete structure has identical facades on all sides, except for the west side of the house facing the lake.

Mountain Cabin / Marte.Marte Architects

Javier Gaete — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000

At the edge of a wooded ravine, beneath the imposing wooden house of the Catholic Community of Sisters, the small tower building rises from the steep hillside. Striking and modest in appearance, it stretches up out of a small hollow situated on a narrow path along the edge of the forest. The only change made to the hillside is the driveway and the terrain has been left in its original form.

Alfenz Bridge / Marte.Marte Architects

Javier Gaete — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The entry to the Montafon Valley is a topographical bottleneck. The railway, the federal highway and the new cycling path offer access to the southernmost valley of Vorarlberg, which is surrounded by high Alpine mountain ranges. Running parallel with the valley, the raging Ill River, prone to flooding, crosses the Alfenz River from the east and channels the Alfenz River into its current.

580 Carroll Street / TEN Arquitectos

Alexandra Molinare — Thu, 30 May 2013 01:00:00 +0000

The building is situated in Park Slope, a historic Brooklyn neighborhood. There are 17 apartment units and a total built area of approximately 30,000 square feet. The building takes a fresh approach to zoning. While other new developments in the area maximize the zoning envelope by building right to the street line, our project situates the building to allow for a 3000 square foot shared garden overlooking Carroll Street.

904 Pacific Street / Loadingdock5 Architecture

Nico Saieh — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0000

We were first presented with this project in 2006 by Eli Karp at Supreme Builders and were immediately intrigued and excited by the possibilities it afforded. Having previously worked with the developer, we knew that we would be allowed to think outside the box and implement creative solutions to the challenges presented by the site. New York City has a complicated and extensive set of zoning rules and the site butted many of them against each other; we had to approach this project almost as if it were a puzzle.
