Description

The new building of the Chamber of Agriculture blends confidently into the heterogeneous urban environment of Hallein. The wooden solitaire with a green façade is not only in line with the characteristics of the farmers’ interest group but also generates its identity from the group and asserts itself in the urban environment. In addition, the design of the building stands for future-oriented values in construction. Coming via a forecourt, one enters the building and arrives in a foyer, where a central core leads to both public and semi-public functions. From here one can directly access the offices of the Chamber of Agriculture and the Machinery Ring, as well as the event hall and the apartment. All rooms open onto the covered loggias (veranda), which not only extend the available space with inviting outdoor areas but also offer attractive views of the surroundings. The design is based on the construction principle of a wooden skeleton. The special feature lies in the simplicity of the construction. Columns, beams and ceiling slabs form a structurally logical and visually comprehensible load-bearing concept. This principle is also used for the veranda, which structurally protects the wood, provides vertical façade greening as natural shade for the interior, and lends the building its distinctive outward appearance.
