Alpine building culture

Architect East Tyrol – refurbishment, existing fabric and building on

East Tyrol places particular demands on architecture: landscape, climate, existing fabric, village character, tight budgets and regional building culture have to be thought together. Stadt : Labor – Architekten develops robust, place-based solutions for this.

Building in the alpine region

Architecture in East Tyrol needs a precise relationship to topography, weather, material, craft and use. Lasting solutions arise from simple basic principles, careful construction and a realistic approach to resources.

Existing fabric, farmsteads and historic buildings

Many projects in East Tyrol begin with existing building fabric. Old farmsteads, houses, barns and village centres have qualities, but also technical and legal challenges. We develop concepts that combine preservation, adaptation and contemporary use.

Robust concepts for small and large tasks

Not every project needs a complicated solution. Especially with limited budgets, clear priorities, phasing and simple, good details are decisive. Architecture should work for the long term and belong to its place.
