NIK / Atelier Thomas Pucher & Bramberger

Due to the very complex urban planning, technical and economical requirements we designed [Atelier Thomas Pucher & Bramberger] a building, that is calm and reduced, but at the same time a dominating aesthetic solitaire. This building becomes a sculpture through its simplicity. Based on the clear steel framed structure with light weight wall panels, a multifaceted playful facade with clear vertical alignments appears. The closed elements on the façade have a gold glimmering appearance and can accommodate shelves or archives on the interior. The height of the building adapts with the surrounding buildings and mediates between a high -density area and an open space — via ArchDaily
