raimund theatre renovation … honorable mention

0801 — Sun, 11 Feb 2018 20:12:40 +0000

vorhang auf …. for hoppe architects entry for the raimund theatre renovation competition, which was awarded with an honorable mention. rather than merely picking new surface material and conceptualizing a new seating layout, which was what the competition brief asked for, our proposal directly addresses the theatre’s major issue, its general lack of organized public space and proposes a sequence of spatially differentiated ramps and spaces that give access to the basement level, where a new adequate and representational foyer space is located. the design thus untangels the building’s complex pedestrian routes, generates a generous reception space and extends the useable public space with its theatre life right into the forecourt.

project: raimund theatre renovation, vienna.

date: 12.2017. open competition – honorable mention.

little sister in a dress – vienna’s smallest residential building

0801 — Fri, 22 Dec 2017 21:24:48 +0000

Little Sister in a Dress is most probably the smallest private residential building in Vienna, located on a tiny garden plot in the city’s 23^rd district. Building regulations stipulate a maximum footprint of 20 m2 and a maximum building height of 5.5 m. Spatial requirements however call for the maximum utilization of the given spatial envelope.

Located in a small housing settlement that stretches around a small lake in its center, this building sits near – but not directly next – to the lake, closely surrounded by other small residential buildings, making it necessary to exploit the limited view to the lake, that is partly blocked by neighboring buildings, while at the same time creating a decent sense of privacy for the residents in a spatial composition that due to its limited footprint needs fluidity, openness and closely-knit interior and exterior spaces. The design therefore negotiates the complex contextual parameters, such as the building’s orientation and position in the field, its nearby neighbors, the limited view to the beautiful lake, on the one hand and on the other hand the inhabitants’ requirements for privacy, openness towards their outdoor spaces, connectedness to the lake, and their strong desire for open and bright spaces.

Fluent spaces, strategic transparencies, surprising views, vertical spaces and voids generate spatial complexity. Extensive glazing and sliding doors connect the multi-levelled living spaces with the balcony, the terrace, the adjacent remaining garden and the nearby lake. Minimized lightweight constructions, light wells, bright surfaces and white materials prevent a sense of constriction inside the tiny building and establish a spatial and atmospheric continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The project has received the “gebaut 2017” award as one of the best buildings completed in vienna in 2017. Find all the prize winners here.

flamingo inside

0801 — Fri, 05 Aug 2016 01:59:10 +0000

This dynamic staircase is the colorful centerpiece of our latest residential building in Vienna’s 17^th district. Its interior is in strong contrast to the outside of the building, that by Viennese building regulations was required to perfectly blend into the surrounding’s protected historic city fabric.

The flamingo coloured ribbon connects 38 appartments on six floors, a groundfloor super market and two underground parking floors in one continuous flow, hardly visible from the outside during the day, but easily noticeable at night, adding some decent colour to the streetscape.

address: hernalser hauptstrasse 59, 1170 vienna (at). client: private.

date of completion: 05.2016.

projekt team: HOPPE architects – Robert Neumayr with Moritz Findler, Mareike Flesch and Robert Löffler.
