VIWA: Revitalisation

Conversion/competition/expansion/additional/mixed use/office/residential/commercial

In keeping with the founding idea of ​​Arabella Park, “Visionary and changeable,” we look at the existing building in its well-preserved structure. The goal was to convert this into a modern and at the same time visionary hybrid building, which will be called “VIWA”. The targeted use of partial demolitions and extensions as well as additions enables the creation of a balance between classic office or living spaces and exciting, two-story areas. From an ecological and economic point of view, it would be unlikely that a new building would be able to afford such spacious and multifunctional areas. The new building volume is strikingly compact thanks to its not insignificant densification, additions and additions. This is somewhat resolved by both the differentiated volume setting and the varying height design. The curtain element facade gives the "VIWA" further lightness and its materiality is based on the surrounding metal facades of the neighboring buildings.
