It must be a modern new headquarter as a signal for their open mindedness. Thats what the manager and the assiciates of Styriabrid GesmbH insisted on. The new office building of the pork marketing Styriabrid should be situated in the midst of an undefined and empty countryside. The perfect site for an agricultural association.
Due to these general conditions a compact building with a green atrium, surrounded by the reception, conference room, office and storage areas was planned. The atrium should give the possibility for meeting the customers. The long bay windows of the conference room look out on a biotope, extending up to the entrance, which is accessed via a wooden ramp.
The choice of the materials must answer their sustainable visions, the bricks are beeing produced in the neighbour village and the wood originates from the local sawmill. Wood is used for all kind of functions – for instance infront of the storage´s semitransparent wall of hollow chamber profiles. The same plank motif is reflected in the solar protection of the conference room’s bay window.
