Planning study for the Schweizergarten garden centre

Planning study for new construction of gardeners' accommodation in the Schweizergarten, Vienna using clay construction

We are excited about the opportunity to push the boundaries of construction. Small projects in particular are an ideal basis for introducing innovative building materials into a certification process.

The planning study for the new gardener’s accommodation in the Schweizergarten focuses on sustainability and material-friendly construction. Inspired by the quality and ecological benefits of earthen construction, the building was designed as a reversible structure – this minimizes the impact on the environment and the structure can be returned to the natural cycle if necessary.

In addition, the building regulates the indoor climate in a natural way and conveys an earthy, warm aura.
The design reacts sensitively to the parking space and uses simple means to create a functional but atmospheric working environment. It does not form a hard boundary, but blends into the natural surroundings with open transitions and a well thought-out outdoor space concept.
