Our latest projects and contributions

A new publication after more than 19 years …

Our Google Alert provided us with this new edition of an old publication. 19 years ago, we rebuilt and extended this company headquarters in Salzburg.

At that time, we used a really exciting new technology: 27 deep probes serve as an energy source and at the same time as a huge heat store. This energy comes all year round from 80m² of thermal solar collectors on the roof. And an intelligent control system ensures that this energy is stored or extracted at the most suitable point depending on the heat requirement or feed-in temperature - because, as with the earth, the temperature is highest in the center of the probes and decreases towards the edge.

In addition, tens of meters of ventilation pipes were buried as part of the soil remediation to pre-temper the air introduced.

And even then, a remote control system was installed to monitor all the key figures at any time and anywhere and to control the system from Wels.

7 years after we received the green light from the Design Advisory Board for this striking townhouse on Dauphinestraße in Linz, planning permission has now been granted.

We are delighted that the former cinema and supermarket, which has been vacant for many years, will be replaced by a vertical accent. In conjunction with the public use on the first floor, a meeting place will be created here with a covered square on Dauphinestraße, an additional passageway in the extension of the existing row of houses and a two-storey arcade as weather protection while waiting for the bus.

On behalf of the municipality of Feldkirchen an der Donau, GIWOG is building a crèche in Feldkirchen-Brunnenfeld The Feldkirchen-Brunnenfeld local development area will be built on by GIWOG over the next few decades with high-quality apartments and terraced houses. Around 40% of the five-hectare site will not be built on and will therefore remain green space. The development itself was discussed and developed in the course of a multi-year cooperative public participation process.

Public buildings in particular have an important identity-creating function. To do this, they need an unmistakable, independent design language in order to be remembered by the population. A landmark in the best sense of the word.

Both the architectural design of the structure and the development of the functional design of the interior were carried out in close consultation with the future users: inside. The common rooms are predominantly oriented to the north to minimize overheating in summer. Optimized cross-ventilation allows the building to be cooled sufficiently even on hot days. A heat pump, which can be combined with photovoltaic modules, provides environmentally friendly heating for the building. This enables us to ensure a high level of practical orientation, which guarantees climate-relevant, future-oriented and cost-optimized operation.

Wienerberger Austria hosted the Future Brick Days at the Architekturzentrum Wien on the topic of “The future of housing”. Urban planning and architects around the world are facing the same challenges: There is less and less affordable housing for more and more people. Added to this are the requirements for solutions that are as sustainable, CO2-neutral and resource-saving as possible and the question of the financial viability of “green” housing. Top national and international speakers highlighted the current challenges facing the industry in their presentations. Andreas Kleboth considered how an urban strategy can ‘enable the valuable city’.

Walk-Space 23 - Lecture at the conference for pedestrians What could a city that is optimally oriented to the needs of pedestrians look like? How big should this city be, how do the routes look like, which specific offers are needed, how should the public space be designed and of course: which advantages would result for the individuals and the society in the consistent orientation of an urban design?

Andreas Kleboth outlined initial solutions to these questions in his presentation.Walk-Space 23 - Vortrag bei der Fachkonferenz für Fußgänger: innen Wie könnte eine optimal an die Bedürfnisse von Fußgänger: innen ausgerichtete Stadt aussehen? Wie groß sollte diese Stadt sein, wie sehen die Wege aus, welche spezifischen Angebote braucht es, wie müsste der öffentliche Raum gestaltet sein und natürlich: welche Vorteile ergäben sich bei der konsequenten Ausrichtung eines Stadtentwurfs für die Individuen und die Gesellschaft? Für diese Fragen skizzierte Andreas Kleboth in seinem Vortrag erste Lösungen.

Our very unique design for a very special site passes the design advisory board and receives much praise from the chairman Rüdiger Lainer.

A slender tower, standing on a two-story green base, elegantly leans against an existing 30m high firewall. In addition to diverse gardens on five different levels, the design offers above all an exciting, small-scale structured brick facade.

We are already looking forward to the further implementation steps of this Wertsecure project and to the collaboration with the planning team of L-Bauengineering and Carla Lo.

The shell is almost finished, now the Oberösterreichische Nachrichten reported in detail about the really very exciting construction site.

In a one-week workshop for the Salzburgerstrasse in Linz, we worked together with Linz city officials, neighbors, property owners and other interested parties to think about how this district, which is heavily dominated by car traffic, can be led into a livable future. Questions of mobility for pedestrians and cyclists played a major role, as did the Wegscheid train station, the greening of the arterial road, the traffic-safe city connection under the arterial road, the preservation or enlargement of the park … play an important role.

The construction site in the Capuchin monastery is progressing rapidly. Until now it was mainly downwards, demolition of a part of the building to enlarge the garden; foundation reinforcements: now the attic was also removed (and will be rebuilt), but from now on we are also building upwards again.

The construction site in Berresgasse is in full swing. More than 3,000 apartments are being built on approximately 35 hectares, a school campus has already been completed, and the open space is to become a prototype for car-free living. And for the first time, we are also allowed to build in an area for which we were jointly responsible for the urban planning. Our’ construction site is almost lost in the forest because of all the cranes.

The Linz Design Advisory Board particularly liked our project for Wienerstraße: the idea of offering two-story studio apartments along the street and noise-protected two-story maisonettes in the garden convinced everyone involved. We are pleased to develop an interesting residential offer for this exciting urban space.

Construction is underway on Stockenhuberweg. In a beautiful location on the outskirts of Linz, 16 high-quality and very individual apartments are being built, with gardens, balconies, atriums and terraces under a green solar roof.

Between a place of longing and climate protection - how the 15-minute city brings the two together.

What the 3420 board and our Andreas Kleboth have to say on the subject can be heard here:

For Bierol - the equally unusual and successful Tyrolean craft beer brewery - we designed a distinctive new building. The basic form corresponds to the agricultural buildings of the adjacent family farm, in detail the new brewery holds many exciting facets for the long-term development of the location and the building fits perfectly with the Bierol brand.

For the first time, we can also build here on a project where we did the urban planning (together with Vlay Streeruwitz, Hubert Rieß, Carla Lo, Robert Korab and Stadtland). And the construction site is imposing. A total of 3,500 apartments are being built here almost simultaneously. Our residential building is comparatively small in comparison, with 150 units.

In order to keep the bicycles of the students and teachers of the Ebenzweier Castle boarding school dry, we have designed an ingenious outbuilding. The facade and the roof construction are made of wood, the roof of transparent photovoltaic elements. Since the building slopes with the terrain to the south, the solar input for energy production is maximized.

We have received the building permit for the residential building near Lake Pleschingen, and construction work will start in the fall of 2022. In this project, we can realize several elementary ideas at once: for example, there are 3 different apartment typologies under the bent roof. Then the trapezoidal building form complements the urban space here into an exciting whole.

An old townhouse in the center of Linz is being raised.

The planned roof extension reacts self-confidently to the urban context of the perimeter block development, the high point creates a clear urban situation at the street corner. The regular perforated facade of the existing building is continued in a new interpretation in the seamlessly integrated roof structure.

The “Haus am See” has reached the topping-out ceremony, and this was celebrated accordingly. The carpenters had a special role to play, as they are responsible for the entire construction, which is made of solid wood.

The LEVA is the first Austrian award for the domestic window industry. The best performers of the year 2021 were awarded.

Andreas Kleboth was invited to give the keynote speech at the ceremony in Salzburg.

Wir sind mit unserem Projekt Sonnendorf in Schwoich Teil dieses internationalen Forschungsprojekts. TRANS-PED ist ein zweijähriges Forschungsprojekt zur Entwicklung eines Governance Ansatzes, der es den Akteuren in Positive Energy Districts ermöglicht, tiefgreifende Veränderungen in Ihren Städten besser zu realisieren. An diesem Forschungsprojekt sind 11 Partner aus Österreich, Belgien und Schweden beteiligt. Diesmal trafen wir uns in Helsingborg bei der Urban Future Conference und besichtigten die Projekten Brunnshög in Lung und Hammerby Sjöstad 2.0 in Stockholm.

Since August 2021 we finally have an office in Vienna. In the wonderfully lively Margaretenstraße in a great loft we have our workspaces.

Stefan, Magdalena and Sandra are constantly enjoying the benefits of this co-working space with cool meeting rooms and an internal gym. But they often get visitors from Linz and Innsbruck (:

After the ‘365+1 Inspirierende Spuren’ (365+1 Inspiring Trails), this year we have combined 366 more images into ‘0732 - Inspirierende Blicken’ (0732 - Inspiring Views).

We also post these daily inspirations on Facebook and Instagram.

The LINZA asked Andreas Kleboth what he thinks of the plans to demolish Linz’s Salzstadl directly on the Danube.

Finally, a first meeting of the Trans PED research project could take place in Brussels.

Trans PED is an international project involving 11 partners from Austria, Belgium and Sweden. Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) are urban neighbourhoods with net-zero annual energy imports and net-zero CO2 emissions. The EU is aiming for 100 PEDs by 2025.

We are involved with two projects: On the one hand, our village extension ‘Sonnendorf in Schwoich’ is a PED site, and on the other hand, we managed the urban development concept and framework planning of the second Austrian PED site Graz-Reininghaus for more than 5 years. https://trans-ped.eu/
