In this house from the 60s, a thermal renovation is realized with an overall improvement of the living situation. The existing ‘window holes’ are cut and optimized as needed. The resulting window geometry is playfully reinforced and connected by a colored plaster band, creating an abstract pattern. During the day, the color of the plaster band blends in with the dark window surface, while at night it glows.
International experience applied regionally. That is our strength.
Stability of value leads to identification and appreciation. The design of the everyday should therefore be given a higher priority than the search for the special.
It is not primarily a matter of developing a new style or conforming to a fashion, but of finding a coherent answer to all project-specific questions.
We love the region in which we work. Surrounded by vineyards, forest and water, the head remains free for fresh architectural ideas.
The aging ability of the materials used, which change more or less quickly over time, plays an essential role. Patina and traces of use are deliberately planned effects that are allowed to develop over the years.
Architecture must be seen as a holistic task that is only solved when all requirements such as ecology, economic efficiency, constructive intelligence and social acceptance are met.
Every house is a personality. Individual like the people who live in it. Unique and rooted to the place where they are.
People's needs shape our buildings. Therefore, the design of the everyday should be given a higher priority than the search for the special.
Subsidized housing has a long tradition in Austria, is social policy in action, and therefore an important challenge for us!
For 15 years, BIM has been the basis in planning at syntax architektur. We trust in the not yet known possibilities of tomorrow.
