The campus of the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences near the city centre consists of three historically grown locations, which have been consolidated as part of an overall concept and linked together by high-quality outdoor spaces. The ‘Alte Textilschule’ (old textile school), built in 1956 along the Dornbirner Ache river, was renovated by Cukrowicz Nachbaur Architects on behalf of the state of Vorarlberg for the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences and extended with a seven-storey, tower-like structure that forms the end of the quarter. An open space concept with a barrier-free staircase and ramp system, garden and courtyard complements the structural measures. Participation is free of charge.

Our warmest congratulations!

A new urban development is being built between the railway station and the city centre, continuing the existing perimeter block development and culminating in a striking eight-storey high-rise. The concept includes a square-like area with restaurants and a two-storey gateway to the adjacent neighbourhood. The 128-room hotel extends over eight floors. The extra-high ground floor houses a lobby and conference rooms, while the sixth floor features a sky bar with a terrace offering views of Lake Constance, the Pfänder mountain and the Alps. The expressive façade design, consisting of textured precast concrete elements and floor-to-ceiling glazing, creates an inviting and identity-forming presence.

On November 7, 2025, the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences in Dornbirn was officially opened. The new tower-like extension with lecture halls, laboratories, and office space, as well as the comprehensive renovation of the listed ensemble along the Dornbirner Ache river—the architectural gem of the former »textile school« from the 1950s by Ramersdorfer/Meusburger—have been completed after a longer planning and construction phase. The open and flexible rooms, the new centrally located cafeteria, and the newly designed open spaces and courtyards create a forward-looking campus area, offering students plenty of space to relax, work, and develop. We would like to thank everyone involved for their excellent cooperation and wish users and visitors alike much enjoyment in their new learning environment.

20250926 Georg Bechter

Georg Bechter is an architect and designer from Hittisau who has made a name for himself primarily through ecologically oriented construction and innovative lighting design. Georg uses natural, regional, and recyclable materials such as wood, straw, clay, and sheep’s wool. One interesting project is his “Denkwerkstätte” in Hittisau: an old stable was converted into a work and production building, using straw bales for insulation, clay from his own excavation pit, and an ice storage system for heating and cooling. We were given the opportunity to visit his office.

Beneath the main nave of the basilica is the State Memorial Chapel, which was redesigned in 2011. It is a place of remembrance for all victims of violence. A place that confronts suffering and speechlessness. In March and September, rays of sunlight shine directly onto the shrine with the memorabilia through a tube. Together with geometric engineer Urs B. Roth, architect Andreas Cukrowicz guides visitors through the special memorial chapel.

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.
Competition 2025 3rd prize

Link to the project Fire station and maintenance depot

The new children’s house replaces the existing building as a solitary structure in almost the same position and with almost the same cubic volume, responding to the rising topography with a split-level system. An open stairwell provides beautiful views, and by connecting all levels, it becomes a communication space. The design eliminates the separation into individual floors and thus into individual functions, creating a building that is perceived as a continuous space, a building in which the children grow up and mature from bottom to top. A real children’s house. The design follows the principle of ‘simply continuing to build’, with the existing gymnasium being retained.

We are delighted that the project planning credit for the construction of a new double multi-purpose hall was approved by a very clear majority at the citizens’ meeting.
The start of planning for a modern, multifunctional hall for sport, culture and community as a central element in the public life of the region with a wide range of possible uses, an improved infrastructure for local sports clubs and space for cultural events, a long-term investment in the quality of life and the future of the municipality.

The December 2024 issue of HOCHPARTERRE, a publishing house for architecture, planning and design in Zurich, published a report on the Hagen-Haus in Nendeln.

The interview with Roderick Hönig, Anton Nachbaur-Sturm, Patrik Birrer (art historian) and Marcus Büchel (President of the Hagen-Haus Foundation) can be read here.
The issue as EPaper.

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.
Competition 2025 2nd prize

Chapel of Remembrance
Equinox 20.03.2025

The new multi-purpose hall complements the settlement with a clearly defined solitary structure at an appropriate distance from the school complex and with maximum preservation of the open cultural and landscape space. The precise positioning seeks a balance between a solitary effect and a sense of belonging to the residential area and school complex, creating an address on Rheinhofstrasse. Moving away from the existing buildings creates independence and generates good permeability of the open spaces. The stacked volume with its asymmetrical flat pitched gable roof evokes distant memories of large-volume agricultural typologies.

Lecture by Andreas Cukrowicz on October 24, 2024, at 6:30 PM at Überholz in Dornbirn.
The university course Überholz is a part-time training program for architects, structural engineers, and timber builders.

The ED-Awards are annual awards for outstanding European design. The Atelier Andrea Gassner, Feldkirch, with the support of innovative clients Cukrowicz Nachbaur Architects, Bregenz, and former mayor Christa Köppel, Widnau, has developed a completely new wayfinding system with differently structured handrail profiles for the construction of the nursing home in Widnau. The design’s “attention to detail” was awarded the European Design Award 2024 in Gold in the category “Signage & Wayfinding” on Saturday, July 1, 2024, in Naples.

In institutions such as hospitals and care facilities, people with limited cognitive abilities often move around, for various reasons. As cognitive functions decline, the emotional level becomes increasingly important. In addition to the traditional orientation system, the design concept by Atelier Andrea Gassner (Christopher Walser, Andrea Gassner) includes a tactile orientation. Long-tested and also manufactured in Vorarlberg, turned wooden handrail profiles with different textures are assigned to each floor and residential area. They look good, are visually and, above all, haptically distinguishable by their use. In the entrance area, there is an overview of the different handrail textures with the following accompanying text: “At my age, seeing and walking are not the same as they used to be. That’s why I also rely on my hands to support and find my way. The different textures of the handrails in this building are a great help to me. I can feel with my hands where I am and thus understand the way.”

Almost simultaneously, this design work received international recognition through the ADC Award 2024 – Silver in the category Design for Good/Product Design, which was awarded to Atelier Andrea Gassner on May 14th in New York.

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.

Eine Veranstaltung mit Wolfgang Andexlinger und den neuen Mitgliedern des IGB

Der Innsbrucker Gestaltungsbeirat, kurz IGB, wurde nach intensiven Diskussionen von der Stadt Innsbruck im Jahr 2013 eingerichtet. Für die Stadt, im Speziellen für die Stadtplanung, ist der Beirat eines der wichtigsten Instrumente, um Baukultur im Stadtgebiet weiter zu fördern. Seither waren die Mitglieder des IGB schon mehrmals im aut und haben über ihre Herangehensweisen gesprochen und sich der Diskussion gestellt.Im Jahr 2021 gab es wieder einen der regelmäßigen Wechsel bei den Mitgliedern des Beirats und so sind nunmehr die Architekt*innen Andreas Cukrowicz (Vorsitz), Kornelia Gysel und Bernd Vlay sowie die Landschaftsarchitektin Marie-Theres Okresek (Stellvertretung) die Hauptmitglieder und damit die agierenden Köpfe des IGB.

In guter Tradition soll der regelmäßige Dialog im aut nun auch mit den Neuen weitergeführt werden. Dabei sollen Meinungen und Haltungen zur Architektur und zum Städtebau sowie formulierte Strategien und Entscheidungen sichtbar gemacht und diskutiert werden, um den gemeinsamen Austausch weiter zu fördern.

Die Veranstaltung wird durch Eingangsstatements von Wolfgang Andexlinger, Stadtplaner von Innsbruck, sowie durch den Vorsitzenden des IGB Andreas Cukrowicz eröffnet.

With a vocational secondary school, a secondary school, a triple sports hall and a zone for special classrooms and administration, the individual areas of each school and each function are thematically and spatially combined into a separate building in each case. Each building has its own address, its own character and its own identity. Each structure is recognisable and has its own personality. Like four friends, the buildings stand together in a circle, pursuing the idea of a small village. Together they define a centre, a village square, a common focal point represented by the entrance hall and assembly hall.

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

The Mainau 2040 Masterplan competition includes a large number of different functions and buildings, all of which contribute to the same strategy: the sustainable further development of Mainau as a cultural treasure. The island is already listed as a monument of special importance. The focus was on the careful use of resources in harmony with nature in the sensitive region of Lake Constance as well as on aesthetic-cultural sustainability. The highlight and landmark is the new Palm Cathedral, which forms the new focal point of the island. The self-contained building, which was developed especially for this location, consists of four barrel-like glass volumes. These contain event and exhibition facilities, a restaurant and a jungle playground. Four differently shaped, elegant structural elements – evocative of floral structures – createimpressive spaces and are the unique selling point of the new building, responsible for its high recognition and identification value.

The Sparkasse Bank Headquarters Singen was honoured with a Hugo-Häring-Auszeichnung 2020.

Developed as a subtle addition to the historical ensemble of freestanding buildings, this new office mediates between two linear urban structures by assuming a parallelogram-shaped footprint. At the same time, tracing the street, the addition spatially redefines and sharpens the flow of Marktgasse while increasing the prominence of neighboring existing buildings. Three gable elements of equal size facing south take up the historical rhythm of the characteristic roof ridge landscape. The formation of a single transverse gable towards Landsgemeindeplatz makes the building recognisable and asserts the location of the courtroom as the most important room of the building.

Competition 2020 1st prize

The Bishop’s Burial Vault in Rottenburg was honoured with the 3rd prize at the 2020 GEPLANT+AUSGEFÜHRT award. The competition shows and awards examples of exceptional architecture in combination with exceptional craftsmanship.

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.
