The Feßlerhaus will remain a defining feature of the site, undergoing careful renovation and repurposing as a children’s home. To this end, it will be gutted, with the striking outer shell of the residential wing remaining intact and lined with wood on the inside. The former farm wing will be rebuilt as an open structure within the cubature of the front building. A shared roof will connect the old and new buildings to form a harmonious whole. The farm building will not be demolished in favour of a clear typology and better lighting. A garden shed divides the outdoor space into a forecourt and a garden.

The calm and linear passageway with fire station and maintenance depot seeks balance in the existing environment, while its precise positioning develops an urban order and creates two clear spatial situations on different levels. The design minimises the visible cubature, with the complex programme being resolved in a simple and economical geometry. The maximum focus is on optimising all operational processes. Simple structures and a compact organisation minimise the above-ground footprint, costs and distances.

The concept is based on the fundamental decision to retain the original building as an identifying element. Well placed and valuable in terms of local architecture, it forms a charming and emotionally charged prelude to the new neighbourhood development as an ‘anchor building’. Two new buildings with gabled roofs and cross gables adopt the historical rhythm of the characteristic roofscape, respect the historical context, follow the local building typology and complement the existing situation as loosely placed solitary volumes and fitting pieces, whose deliberate alignment with the contour lines develops staggered buildings (instead of parallel buildings) along Eggstrasse. The slight fanning out integrates the surrounding existing structures, including the main building, into the structural system. The precise positioning with a slight twist of the new buildings seeks balance in the existing neighbourhood, it creates maximum access to the outside and maximum permeability as well as clear and well-proportioned open spaces, good passageways with connections to existing path structures, a new path connection to the old town (Oberdorfstrasse) and a new centre with a shared open space situation through the participation of all existing and new buildings. In the area of Sonneggstrasse 4, the linear point development will be continued and supplemented with a third building as a replacement structure. Simple structures guarantee economic efficiency and optimal operational processes, while a compact organisation minimises the footprint, costs and distances.

The Munich Concert Hall will not be realized as planned.

It is with disappointment and great regret that we note the political decision not to realize the Munich Concert Hall in the form previously planned.

Our vision for a world-class venue, for a cultural meeting place of the highest radiance, our vision for a new icon has been consigned to the wastepaper basket.

A loss not only for our office. A great loss for Munich, for Bavaria and for the entire music world.

We would like to thank everyone who believed in this great project.

We wish the top-class team of the Bavarian Radio and Symphony Orchestra a new home that can live up to its high standards.

Working together, talking and leaving your mark in the
Open Studio with workshop on Friday, June 7 from 3 to 6 pm.

We pursue the goal of creating the highest utility value and occupying an equally important cultural position. Our awareness of resource-conserving construction, good and regional materials, robustness and longevity are a natural part of our attitude. We want to touch people with our emotional architecture, we try to lend beauty to things and develop buildings that are loved, because architecture that is respected and appreciated in the literal sense lasts in the long term and is therefore sustainable in a special way. We make an important contribution to the further development of building culture by engaging intensively with a wide variety of content and themes. We create something meaningful and lasting and thus change the world a little.

A lecture entitled »The complexity of the simple« by Andreas Cukrowicz will be held at the Department of Public Building of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics on Monday, 30.11.2023 at 12:15 pm. Admission is free.

The St. Michael cemetery is changing! What these changes look like, what they are based on, what far-reaching consequences they entail and what opportunities they offer for the future will be discussed with Arch. Andreas Cukrowicz and the »St. Michael Cemetery« initiative.

Tuesday 24th of October 2023, 7.00 p.m., in the Mesnerstüble as part of the series of events »Of the Last Things« (Von den letzten Dingen), an information evening about the project will be held.

A strong team of building owners with high standards, great trust and a lot of courage to go new ways.

We are thrilled to share, that the Bayerischer Landtag has given approval for the further design phases of the Munich Concert Hall.

Seit 1967 lädt die ZV Österreich zur Vortragsreihe „Sprechen über Architektur“ ein. Architektinnen und Architekten verschiedener Generationen, Stars, Etablierte, Radikale, und auch KünstlerInnen sowie TheoretikerInnen sprechen über Architektur und ihre Arbeiten. Sie zeigen einen Ausschnitt aus der hohen Qualität der Architekturproduktion und des architektonischen Denkens in den verschiedenen Bundesländern Österreichs. Die ZV Österreich öffnete im Juni ihr Medienarchiv und startete die neue Online-Vortragsreihe „Sprechen über Architektur >>revisited“. Nun wird diese mit weiteren zehn Vorträgen aus den letzten zehn Jahren ergänzt, die ab Montag, den 21. Dezember 2020, abrufbar sind.

>>hier geht’s zum Vortrag

House builders and craftsmen who like to experiment, pioneering architects, a liberal building law, an open-minded population and a culture of cooperation are responsible for the fact that a very special density of interesting architecture has been created in Vorarlberg for five decades. In this exhibition, the Az W Architekturzentrum Wien shows key buildings by the building artists Hans Purin, Rudolf Wäger, Gunter Wratzfeld and the architects’ community C4 and places them in relation to works by a younger generation: ARTEC Architects, bernardo bader architects, Cukrowicz Nachbaur Architects, HEIN Architects, Helena Weber Architect. The intergenerational dialogue is to be understood literally: “Old” and “Young” meet in filmed conversations and exchange ideas about distinctive buildings and protagonists. Curator: Sonja Pisarik, Az W | Assistance: Katrin Sting, Az W. Image source: Darko Todorovic. Exhibition druation from March 17th, 2020 to September 5th, 2020. Exhibition at VAI – Vorarlberger Architektur Institut

AIT ONLINE DIALOG interviews Andreas Cukrowicz with regard to the motto: a question to:…

Temporary buildings, three-dimensional structures and spaces made of one material: space defines itself as dimensions of height, length and width. However, the conception of unconventional and surprising spaces is about much more than following the basic principles of design. What makes a room a three-dimensional emotional experience? What role do context and material play in this?

Please find the answers here.

On Thursday, July 12, 2018, the contract was handed to Andreas Cukrowicz and Anton Nachbaur at a ceremonial act in the Prinz-Carl-Palais.
