We won!!!

It is with great joy that we announce that our work has – once again – been conferred an international award.
This time, the honor goes to the Dockner Wine Cellar in Höbenbach bei Krems. The highly esteemed members of the award jury – including Ben van Berkel, Carla Juacaba, and Alejandro Zaero-Polo – chose our project as the winner of the Agricultural Buildings category of the ArchitectureMasterPrize (formerly the AAP Architecture Prize). The winning projects will be presented next year in the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.

We’ve been working at our Kaiserstraße office for a year now, meaning the for a party had arrived. This then turned into a 45th anniversary celebration – Fritz Göbl opened his office in Krems in 1973.
Florian Medicus gave a delightful talk on humor in architecture and the work of Bruno Klomfar. To stimulate our minds and bodies, fantastic food was served up by Chef Ivan Mascia, accompanied by the wines of our winery friends and clients Sepp and Josef Dockner, Meinhard Forstreiter and Josef and Matthias Burger.
