The new year 2024 is already in full speed.

With a boost from 2023 – a successful year with numerous great collaborations and competition wins, such as the Secondary practical school, Salzburg University of Education with alexa zahn architekten – we are looking forward to the year ahead.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our cooperation partners for the confidence they have placed in werkraum ingenieure and look forward to working with them in the coming months and years!

The construction of the new educational campus at the foot of the Freinberg will begin in 2026.

The new AT III office building fits perfectly into the existing AT I and AT II buildings at the company’s headquarters in Tyrol. With connecting bridges to the existing AT I and II buildings, the new building now enables a new company campus with short distances.

Clearly visible from afar, directly at the highway exit, the BORA flagship store greets visitors with a forward-leaning metal façade. The one hundred metre long and 13.5 metre high structure has a rhombic cross-section of steel and seems to literally float above the ground on thin steel columns.

At the end of July this summer, we were successful in winning the competition for the refurbishment and new building of the elementary and secondary school Laimäckergasse together with the architectural office Klammer Zeleny Architekten!
After the kick-off at the end of August, we are now moving directly into medias res for the further processing and planning of the school project.

The beginning of the school year may arrive! The pupils of the Wienerwaldgymnasium have reason to be excited this year. Close to the Viennese city borders, they can look forward to the modern, bright and friendly school designed by faschfuchs.architekten. It was completed in time for the upcoming school year and opened this summer.

For the duration of the refurbishment of the Austrian Parliament building, three temporary replacement buildings were erected on Heldenplatz and in the Library Courtyard of the Hofburg Palace as alternative quarters. After completion in April 2017 and the subsequent move out of the Parliament, everyday parliamentary work took place in the alternative quarters from summer 2017 onwards.

Every year KÖR invites an artist to develop a temporary work for Vienna’s Graben – this year the Estonian artist Kris Lemsalu.
The installation Chará, a five-meter-high sculpture, will be on display at artplace Graben in downtown Vienna from August 16th to November 8th, 2023.
