projects

Our passion and drive have been instrumental to the success of numerous projects both domestically and all around the world.
All of those projects have different characteristics, different background stories and different specific requirements.
But each and every one of them embodies our whole experience.
They are all unique.
From industrial hangars to high-bay warehouses, from bold suspension bridges to glass skyscrapers in the world’s largest cities, we have realised more than 2000 projects over the years.
The following selection showcases our various areas of competence.

Office building

Markas headquarters in Bolzano

At the outskirts of central Bolzano stands a visually striking building. Designed by ATP architekten ingenieure, it houses the headquarters of the service provider Markas. Not only is the twelve-storey office tower a prime example of sustainable district development, it also utilises the space of its plot, limited by strict urban-planning regulations, optimally. 

The V-shaped truss structure has a façade of self-compacting reinforced concrete and supports the building at its nodal points. A wide range of construction methods was used to control the indoor climate of the energy-efficient building. For example, an automatically controlled sun protection system is integrated into the coupled-window façade. This single element meets a whole host of requirements: it makes the building thermally and visually pleasing, provides glare protection, opens for easy cleaning and maintenance, improves acoustics and facilitates the flexible installation of divider walls. The 3,590-square-metre façade concept by PICHLER projects further allows 58% of all interior spaces to receive a daylight factor higher than 2. 

Thanks to these features, the Markas headquarters fulfils not only the criteria of the international Well Building Standard, it even received a special mention in the 2021 German Design Awards. The building has also won the first Austrian Green Planet Building Award 2023.
