„Elisabethinen Wien-Mitte“ - redensification and building in existing buildings
An outstanding piece of architecture in the middle of Vienna's 3rd district: From 2013 to fall 2022, the architects were responsible for the renovation, conversion and extension of a former monastery. The services within the company group included architecture, general planning and project management.
The project was completed in 2022 and is a prime example of inner-city redensification and social sustainability. The building complex combines a wide variety of functions on 30,000 square meters: a hospital, a nursing home and a convent. The architects were faced with the challenge of not only a complex program but also treating this historic building as a monument and also making it "fit for generations".
The construction challenges were to take into account monument protection, archaeological finds, outdoor facilities with historic and protected plants and trees. Besides the new construction and renovation needed to be executed during ongoing operations.
The project was awarded the CCC Award for this collaborative partnership and the Monument Protection Medal (2023).
