1st prize for Glan Gärten Ost
a new residential neighbourhood with an urban centre & green edges
— Salzburg, AT

Together with WUP Architektur, Trans-City, THALER THALER ARCHITEKTEN & SILA landschaftsarchitektur ZT, we have won the competition. Our proposal explores urban, suburban and rural qualities.

Moving outward from an urban centre, the neighbourhood softens into green edges. Polygonal volumes form a range of threshold spaces and open up views of the surrounding landscape. The open spaces link all five building plots and provide a transition to the adjoining park.

Each building plot has a communal room on the ground floor, while roof gardens offer additional shared open space. A kit-of-parts system in skeleton construction serves as the structural basis, while low-carbon concrete, electrically fired bricks and timber allow for individual façades.

1st prize for Eibengasse — A Colorful Neighborhood

Together with our friends WUP Architektur & zwoPK Landschaftsarchitekturt and the limited-profit developers BWSG & MIGRA, we convinced the jury with our proposal for the new housing development at Eibengasse.

Five buildings create an inclusive and diverse neighbourhood, bringing together alternative forms of living, social infrastructure and communal spaces. Activated ground floors and permeable open spaces foster encounters and strengthen neighbourhood life.

A simple, durable and demountable structural system supports a circular approach while creating space for affordable housing, generous communal areas and high-quality open spaces.

Wir freuen uns riesig über diese Auszeichnung und möchten der Jury herzlich dafür danken!

„Im kommenden Jahr feiert feld72 sein 25-jähriges Bestehen. Das Kollektiv hat Architektur stets über seine klassischen Grenzen hinausgedacht und verbindet Entwerfen mit Forschung, Lehre, Kunst und Publikation. Im Zentrum steht dabei das Sichtbarmachen räumlicher Potenziale, die Gemeinschaft und Solidarität fördern.

feld72 schaffen Räume, in denen das Physische und das Sinnliche eine organisatorische Tiefe entfalten und auf diese Weise unvermutete gesellschaftliche und ökologische Mehrwerte sowie inspirierende Figuren des Zusammenlebens in die Welt bringen. Die Suche nach dem Ort ist bei feld72 immer auch das Entdecken seiner geografischen Dimension.“

Hotel Aurora; Merano, IT – completed!

Merano, in the Italian region of South Tyrol, developed in the nineteenth century into a spa town; its mild climate allows outdoor living even in winter and supports vegetation unusual for the Alpine region. Hotels, villas and promenades along the Passer River structure the town as an urban landscape shaped by movement, leisure and nature.

Hotel Aurora is located on this promenade, at one of the city’s most distinctive points of transition: between the open river landscape with its mountain panorama and the dense urban fabric of the old town around Piazza Teatro. This tension is the site’s defining quality — and the starting point of the design. The project continues the existing typology: the building still reads as a two-storey structure with a new, oversized mansard roof — wrapped in a light veil of aluminium fins. Rising above the historic building, the addition forms a distinct contemporary crown.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to all partners involved and our fantastic team!
