A FOREWORD B Y OTTO KA P FINGER “down to e arth and open minded”

As much as their landscapes fascinate us, most Alpine valleys are extremely barren land for high-quality modern architecture. The Pongau region, the so-called “inner mountains” of Salzburg with its steep valleys leading up to almost inaccessible mountainscapes, is historically-seen a mining and mountain farming area. Since decades it has profited from the rampant success of skiing tourism, but in return it must also face the all too well-known excesses in local planning and building culture. In this light, the career of Tom Lechner – a native of Altenmarkt in the upper Enns valley on the eastern-most edge of the Pongau region, which also has been home to his office since 2008 – represents a phenomenon not to be underestimated. There are only a few examples of an individual in a similar situation who in a short time could accomplish such an oeuvre, which emanates the vision of a “modern tradition” and conveys pertinent messages above and beyond regional and individual concerns. Two main factors were decisive for Lechner’s successes: his ability to recognize the potentials and interests of clients from his own home and generation with sensitivity and down-to-earthness and to make them productive in a shared development process; and his talent to vibrantly transpose the elemental qualities of regional building traditions into new forms, materials, and spaces. Metaphorically: Lechner is deeply rooted in the very soil he questions; he has seen and understood enough of the world outside to have a critical view on the provincial overgrowth of his home country. And at the same time, he is aware – perhaps precisely for this reason – of the latent creative energies in this biotope, which could counter the tenor of short-sighted arbitrariness with something more authentic and enduring – provided the optimism that this is even still feasible today. Lechner’s first clients around and after 2000 were young business people, craftsmen, entrepreneurs “from the neighborhood”, who, just like him, were in search for alternatives to the stereotypical, Alpine-rustic cultural image. His and their opponents were, in particular, the local authorities with their misconceived rules – so ostensibly compulsive in formal terms and so utterly inadequate for regional planning – of “land- and townscape protection”. It was the conversions of the Reiter carpentry shop and Schneider store in Altenmarkt, the Schatzl building in neighboring Radstadt, the small houses Weiß in Altenmarkt and Steinacher in idyllic Goldegg that, almost ten years ago, drew so much attention, caused controversy, but very soon were also highly acclaimed, thus forming the solidly-grounded foundation of Lechner’s oeuvre. And in retrospect, it is a curious logic of continuity that he won the 2003 competition for the new headquarters of the Spiluttini construction company in St. Johann im Pongau. Because the architect and builder Hartmut Spiluttini, who had (privately!) organized this competition, had been an equally engaged and often lone

So sehr uns ihre Landschaften faszinieren, für qualitätvolles modernes Bauen bieten viele Alpentäler extrem karge Böden. Der Salzburger Pongau, das sogenannte „Innergebirg“, führt mit steilen Tälern in schwer zugängliche Bergwelten, war historisches Bergbau- und Bergbauernland, profitierte seit Jahrzehnten vom Erfolgslauf des Skitourismus, erlebte aber gegenläufig in der lokalen Planungs- und Baukultur die sattsam bekannten Auswüchse. Die Karriere von Tom Lechner, der aus Altenmarkt im oberen Ennstal am äußersten Ostrand des Pongaus stammt und seit 2008 auch seinen Bürositz dort hat, ist in dieser Hinsicht ein nicht zu unterschätzendes Phänomen. Es gibt wenige Beispiele, dass ein Einzelner in ähnlicher Situation in kurzer Zeit ein Oeuvre setzen konnte, das die Vision einer „modernen Tradition“ aufblitzen lässt und über das Regionale und Individuelle hinaus relevante Botschaften aufzeigt. Zwei Faktoren waren unter anderem für Lechners Erfolge entscheidend: die Fähigkeit, die Anliegen und Potenziale von Bauherren seiner Heimat und seiner Generation mit viel Sensibilität und bodenständiger Pragmatik zu erkennen und in gemeinsamer Entwicklung produktiv zu machen – und dazu sein Vermögen, die Qualitäten der regionalen Bautradition kraftvoll in moderne Formen, Materialien und Raumgestalten zu transponieren. Bildhaft ausgedrückt: Lechner steht mit beiden Beinen in dem Wald, in den er hineinruft; er hat genug von der Welt draußen gesehen und verstanden, um die provinzielle Verwucherung in seiner Heimat kritisch zu sehen – und er kennt, vielleicht gerade deshalb – zugleich die latenten Kreativkräfte dieses Biotops, um dem Selbstlauf der kurzsichtigen Beliebigkeiten doch Authentisches mit längerer Halbwertszeit entgegenzusetzen – den Optimismus vorausgesetzt, dass so etwas heute überhaupt noch machbar ist. Lechners erste Bauherren um und nach 2000 waren junge Geschäftsleute, Handwerker, Unternehmer „aus der Nachbarschaft“, die wie er Alternativen zum klischeehaften, alpin-rustikalen Kulturbild suchten. Seine und deren Gegner waren meist die lokalen Behörden mit ihren missverstandenen, im Formalen so vordergründig zwanghaften, im Raumplanerischen so völlig unzulänglichen Regeln von „Landschafts- und Ortsbildschutz“. Es waren die Umbauten für Tischlerei und Möbelstudio Reiter und das Geschäftshaus Schneider in Altenmarkt oder das Geschäftshaus Schatzl im benachbarten Radstadt, die kleinen Häuser Weiß in Altenmarkt und Steinacher im idyllischen Goldegg, die vor gut zehn Jahren für Aufsehen, für Widerspruch aber sofort auch für starke Akklamation sorgten und gleichsam den gut geerdeten Start in Lechners Oeuvre darstellten. Und es hat im Nachhinein gesehen eine logische Kontinuität, dass er 2003 den Wettbewerb für die neue Zentrale von „Spiluttini Bau“ in Sankt Johann im Pongau gewann. Denn Architekt und Baumeister Hartmut Spiluttini, der diesen Wettbewerb privat (!) ausgeschrieben hatte, war mit dem elterlichen Betrieb seit den 1970er Jahren von Schwarzach im Pongau aus für zeitgemäße Baukunst ein

fighter for contemporary building culture since the 1970s with his parents’ company in Schwarzach im Pongau. Now Lechner would not only plan Spiluttini’s new headquarters but also, in his own way, build upon his role as a regional exponent of the trade. Another influential factor for Lechner’s success was that he could start his career in a period when – in contrast to the 1970s or 80s – modern construction and production techniques for timber constructions had already taken root in the central and eastern Austrian provinces. They were received by a cultivated, broader interest in sustainable building ecology and economy, and supported by offensive campaigning by the trade, subsidies for low-energy and passive house technology, and much more. From the very beginning, Lechner has competently catered to this aspect, developed it evolutionarily, and combined it with a novel unsentimental view on the relevant traditions in landscape and architectural design. With this in mind, Tom Lechner and his team are not propagating a new architectural style, a personal brand, or a trendy, somehow exciting dream world in which only the exchange value reigns and design constitutes the being, rather a quite straight-forward way of building with the locally available and diligently advanced means. His architecture is always raw, unadorned, haptic, generous, straight: The question is not the image but the right – for the bureaucratic eye, often the “wrong” – way to position the building on the site, in the landscape. It is building without bestowed romanticism or individualist gestures; the primary aim is not the object, it is the spatial and experiential qualities within and out to the landscape, which the building itself offers the users. There is nothing spectacular to report about this oeuvre: It is simply modern building in the Alps, without sentimentality or utopianism, with today’s means and demands, eco-conscious, precisely customized to the location but at the same time universal: down to earth and open minded – nothing more, but also nothing less!

ebenso engagierter wie zumeist isolierter Kämpfer gewesen. Und Lechner plante nun nicht nur den neuen Firmensitz Spiluttinis, sondern knüpfte auf seine Art auch an dessen Rolle als regionaler Exponent des Metiers an. Für den Erfolg Lechners war weiters wichtig, dass er in einer Phase starten konnte, wo – anders als in den 1970er oder 80er Jahren – moderne Konstruktions- und Fertigungsweisen im Holzbau auch schon in den zentralen und östlichen Bundesländern Österreichs Fuß fassen konnten und auf ein geschärftes, breiteres Interesse für Bauökologie und langfristige wirtschaftliche Ökonomie trafen, gestützt durch offensive Kampagnen der Branche, durch finanzielle Förderungen für Niedrigenergie- und Passivhaustechnik und anderes mehr. Lechner hat von Beginn an diesen Aspekt kompetent angeboten, evolutionär weiterentwickelt und mit einem neuen, unsentimentalen Blick auf die einschlägige landschafts- und baugestalterische Tradition verknüpft. In diesem Sinne propagiert Tom Lechner mit seinem Team keinen neuen Architekturstil, keine persönliche Marke, keine zeitgeistige oder irgendwie aufregende Wunschwelt, in der allein der Tauschwert regieren würde, das Design das Sein ausmachte – sondern ziemlich „straight forward“ orientiertes, vorwärtsschauendes Bauen mit den lokal gegebenen und sorgsam weiterentwickelten Mitteln. Seine Architektur ist immer rau, ungeschönt, taktil, großzügig, geradeaus; primär sind nicht Imagefragen sondern die richtige, für das bürokratische Vorurteil eben oft „unrichtige“ Platzierung des Gebäudes am Grundstück, in der Landschaft. Es ist ein Bauen ohne applizierte Romantik oder individualistische Attitüde; primär ist nicht das Objekt, primär sind das Raumangebot und die Erlebnisqualitäten nach innen wie in die Landschaft hinaus, die der Bau aus sich heraus den NutzerInnen bietet. Es lässt sich von diesem Oeuvre nichts Spektakuläres vermelden: Es ist schlicht modernes Bauen in den Alpen, ohne Romantik, ohne Utopismus, mit heutigen Mitteln und Ansprüchen, ökologisch bewusst, präzise für den Ort gemacht und zugleich mit viel Allgemeingültigkeit; bodenständig und weltoffen – nicht mehr, aber auch nicht weniger!

a n i n t r o d u c t i o n b y n o r b e r t m ay r QUALITY THROUGH RESTRAINT

LP architektur has created a multifaceted oeuvre since founding the office in 2000 in the Pongau region of Salzburg. Between 2007 and 2013 Tom Lechner and his team have worked on approximately 60 commissions and realized more than half of them. The book before you presents a selection of 24 buildings and projects – chronologically and in detail – and connects fluidly with the first volume from 2006. However, now only about a third of the works are in Pongau; another third are even located outside of the province. The broad spectrum of architectural projects also comprises eight single-family houses with an astonishing array of spatial solutions. Tom Lechner’s buildings – which have brought the architect numerous Austrian and also certain international awards – have set examples of regional identity in an area driven by turbo tourism. The emblematic Austria House for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, in which Lechner united tradition with modernity, represented the breakthrough in his career. This international success considerably improved the esteem for the architect among mayors in the region; he himself remained authentic, an upright personality with great integrity. That the “P” in LP architektur has stood since many years for “partner” is no empty phrase. Tom Lechner works together with a team of ten young architects and co-workers. This partnership-like relationship also applies to his clients and future inhabitants. Tom Lechner sees his designs as a psychogram, a spatial manifestation of the personal wishes and dreams of his clients. Over the years the architect has refined this dialogue: After the first meetings he asks them to formulate personal profiles. Preliminary designs and a model are the result of this process and are, in most cases, perfect precision landings.

LP architektur hat seit der Gründung des Büros im Jahr 2000 im Salzburger Pongau ein vielfältiges Oeuvre geschaffen. Zwischen 2007 und 2013 haben Tom Lechner und seine Mitarbeiter rund 60 Aufträge bearbeitet und mehr als die Hälfte realisiert. Das vorliegende Buch zeigt eine Auswahl von 24 Bauten und Projekten – ausführlich und chronologisch – und schließt nahtlos an den ersten Band von 2006 an. Dabei findet sich nur mehr ein gutes Drittel der Arbeiten im Pongau, ein Drittel längst auch außerhalb Salzburgs. Das breite Spektrum der Bauaufgaben enthält auch acht Einfamilienhäuser mit einer erstaunlichen Vielfalt an Lösungsmöglichkeiten. Tom Lechners Bauten, für die der Architekt zahlreiche österreichische, aber auch einige internationale Auszeichnungen erhalten hat, setzen in einem vom Turbo-Tourismus getriebenen Landstrich Bausteine regionaler Identität. Den Durchbruch bedeutete 2006 das emblemhafte Österreich-Haus für die Winter-Olympiade in Turin, in dem Lechner Tradition mit Moderne verband. Dieser internationale Erfolg hat seine Wertschätzung bei den Bürgermeistern in der Region massiv verbessert, er selbst blieb authentisch, eine allürenlose Persönlichkeit von hoher Integrität. Dass das „P“ in LP architektur seit vielen Jahren für „Partner“ steht, ist keine Floskel. Tom Lechner arbeitet gemeinsam mit seinem Team aus 10 jungen ArchitektInnen und MitarbeiterInnen. Dieses partnerschaftliche Verhältnis erstreckt sich auch auf BauherrInnen und künftige BewohnerInnen. Tom Lechner versteht seine Entwürfe als Psychogramme, als räumliche Entsprechungen der individuellen Wünsche und Träume seiner Auftraggeber. Der Architekt hat über die Jahre den Dialog mit ihnen verfeinert, nach ersten Gesprächen bittet er sie, persönliche Profile zu erstellen. Vorentwürfe und ein Modelle stehen am Ende dieses Prozesses und sind fast immer perfekte Punktlandungen.

This is possible because in this intense communication phase the architect has already solved the central questions. Tom Lechner is open to self-critical discussions in the office about everything that doesn’t seem optimal yet. This process takes place in the calm and relaxed working atmosphere that prevails in the open-plan office in the center of his hometown Altenmarkt. Lechner found a ground floor premise that formerly housed a knitting mill back in the day. He adapted the shell with minimal interventions – for example, a monolithic concrete floor plate – and preserved the haptic qualities of the surfaces. The building site character stimulates the think-tank: The central places of exchange are a concrete counter and an overdimensioned billiard table – a surprise for the boss from his team at the 2008 opening. Architecture without Regional Planning The built reality outside of the office, however, is not the best. “In the meanwhile, I prefer to look at a Bavarian village than one around here,” says Lechner in his interview with Franziska Leeb. Two observations about building in rural areas of Austria – the dramatic sprawl and the formal chaos – make this statement understandable. In Bavaria, regional planning differentiates between inner and outer areas, between town center and landscape. The sprawl of towns onto the surroundings and its negative consequences such as landscape destruction and traffic burdens are rigorously combated. Municipalities that try to push or enable building projects in the outer areas are put in their place by district offices. Such a regional planning policy in the public’s interest sees zoning regulations as a control mechanism and not as a legal entitlement of property owners. This accepted guideline, even in politically conservative Bavaria, has unfortunately not yet arrived in Salzburg: Here, and all throughout Austria, the mayors are the chief building authority, so the sprawl on

the landscape and the growing rich exurbs on the edges of towns fall under the direct “competence” of municipal policy makers. Today the resulting potpourri of houses makes it incredibly difficult to even recognize or define the limits of settlements. For centuries, the enclosed mountain landscape of Pongau was the only district in Salzburg not characterized by the “Einhof” farmhouse type – a multifunctional farm building under one roof – but by the “Zwiehof”, Alpine building ensembles situated around a yard or parallel to one another. However, the Alpine cultural landscape and the historical built substance have steadily been besieged by excessive building volumes climbing higher and higher up the mountains. “The trend to press everything from furniture stores to mountain huts under the ‘Alpine pitched roof’ can only be addressed through lengthy negotiations and often also with unsatisfying compromises,” reads the sad professional resume of the Welzenbach graduate Robert Posch in 1980, who had come to Salzburg at the end of the 1950s full of engagement. What happened? The building boom fueled by the economic miracle and tourism and the exploding flood of single-family houses were “managed” by the municipalities themselves – solid regional planning criteria as in Bavaria didn’t play a role. Greater structural objectives were already at this point sacrificed to individual interests. In the beginning of the 1960s the provincial government deployed socalled “district architects”, who as state planners lived out their building handbook schematism of landscape-based planning and applied it to new building tasks like car dealerships and business warehouses. The chasm between Bavarian and Austrian regional planning and town development has only deepened over the decades. To this day in the German vicinity, a strict regiment with corresponding build-

Dies ist möglich, weil der Architekt in diesem intensiven Annäherungsprozess die zentralen Fragen gelöst hat. Tom Lechner bringt im Büro alles selbstkritisch zur Diskussion, was ihm noch nicht optimal erscheint. Dieser Prozess findet in einer entspannt-ruhigen Arbeitsatmosphäre statt, die das Großraumbüro im Zentrum seiner Heimatgemeinde Altenmarkt prägt. Tom Lechner fand ein erdgeschoßiges Geschäftslokal, das lange Zeit zuvor als Strickereibetrieb genutzt worden war. Er adaptierte mit minimalen Eingriffen – etwa einer monolithischen Bodenplatte aus Beton – den Rohbau, dem er seine haptischen Oberflächenqualitäten ließ. Der Baustellencharakter stimuliert den Think Tank: Zentrale Orte des Austausches sind ein Bartresen aus Beton und ein überdimensionaler Billardtisch, mit dem die Mitarbeiter bei der Eröffnung 2008 den Chef überraschten. Architektur ohne Raumordnung Mit der gebauten Realität außerhalb des Büros steht es allerdings nicht zum Besten. „Mittlerweile schaue ich mir aber lieber einen bayerischen Ort an als einen bei uns.“ Tom Lechner sagt dies im Interview mit Franziska Leeb. Zwei Beobachtungen zum Bauen in den ländlichen Gebieten Österreichs, die dramatische Zersiedlung und das formale Chaos, machen diese Aussage nachvollziehbar: In Bayern unterscheidet die Raumordnung zwischen Innen- und Außenbereich, zwischen Ortskern und Landschaftsräumen. Der Zersiedlung des Umlands mit ihren negativen Folgen wie Landschaftsfraß und Verkehrskollaps wird konsequent entgegengewirkt. Die Landkreisämter weisen Gemeinden, die Bauprojekte im Außenbereich forcieren bzw. ermöglichen wollen, in ihre Schranken. Eine solche Raumordnungspolitik im öffentlichen Interesse versteht (Flächen-) Widmung als Steuerungsinstrument, nicht als Rechtsanspruch des Grundeigentümers. Dieser auch im

politisch tiefschwarz regierten Bayern akzeptierte Grundsatz ist in Salzburg leider noch immer nicht angekommen: Hier wie in ganz Österreich liegen mit den Bürgermeistern als erster Bauinstanz die Verhäuselung der Landschaftsräume und das Wachsen der Speckgürtel am Ortsrand direkt in der „Kompetenz“ der Gemeindepolitik. Der entstandene Häuserbrei macht es heute äußerst schwierig, überhaupt noch Siedlungsgrenzen zu erkennen bzw. zu definieren. Die geschlossene Landschaft des Pongaus als einzigen Salzburger Gaus ohne Einhöfe war jahrhundertelang von Zwiehöfen in alpinen Gruppenhof- oder Paarhofformen geprägt. Die alpine Kulturlandschaft und die historische Baukultur werden allerdings in stetig steigendem Maß und immer höher hinauf von überbordenden Baumassen bedrängt. „Dem Trend, alles und jedes, vom Möbelhaus bis zur Almhütte, unter das ‚alpine Satteldach‘ zu quetschen, kann man nur durch langwierige Verhandlungen und oft auch unbefriedigende Kompromisse beikommen“: So lautete 1980 die traurige berufliche Bilanz des Welzenbacher-Absolventen Robert Posch, der Ende der 1950er Jahre voller Engagement nach Salzburg gekommen war. Was war geschehen? Den durch Wirtschaftswunder und Tourismus angeheizten Bauboom sowie die explodierende Flut an Einfamilienhäusern „bewältigten“ die Gemeinden selbst, solide raumordnerische Kriterien wie in Bayern spielten dabei keine Rolle. Übergeordnete, strukturelle Zielsetzungen wurden auch damals schon Einzelinteressen geopfert. Die Landespolitik setzte Anfang der 1960er Jahre sogenannte „Bezirksarchitekten“ ein, die als beamtete Planer ihren baufibelartigen Schematismus von landschaftsgebundenem Bauen auslebten und ihn auf neue Bauaufgaben wie Autohäuser und Gewerbehallen übertrugen. Die Kluft bei Raumordnung und Siedlungsentwicklung zwischen Bayern und Österreich hat sich über die Jahrzehnte vertieft. Bei der

ing regulations guides the design of buildings, with the exception of special construction projects. For example, the building authorities in the Traunstein district list – as a motivation for builders – ten specific characteristics of Upper Bavarian building styles in an excerpt of the district building handbook. It is very difficult to make welldesigned buildings from the combination of these points. The mass of residential buildings in rural Bavarian communities is characterized by a clumsy use of local building forms full of schematism and compromises. A “modest but well-designed house in its details” was the objective of the “Heimatschutzbewegung” (Movement for the Protection of the Homeland), according to Karl Erdmannsdorffer in 1937 in the first edition of the book Bauberater für Siedlung und Eigenheim – Die Baugestaltung (“Building Advice for Settlements and Private Homes – The Architecture”, Munich). This ambition was definitely not always achieved. In the last 80 years, buildings approved for construction in this spirit are typically reserved, at best marked by a dignified simplicity, but can radiate a dreary boredom and naivety. The overall impression of Bavaria towns and communities is at any rate – and this is quite sympathetic – relatively homogenous and not aggressive toward the surrounding cultural landscape. The development to this point began in the early twentieth century. In this time the Heimatschutzbewegung established itself in Austria and Germany as an architectural reform movement. It challenged Historicism and the rustic style with its superficial application of rural motifs. The most noteworthy examples manifested in its most creative phase in the 1920s: for example, Clemens Holzmeister’s own mountain house on the Hahnenkamm Mountain in Kitzbühel (1930). In their polemic pamphlets, architects affiliated with the Heimatschutzbewegung also attacked the heterogeneous development of settle-

ments on the edges of towns and called for a uniform townscape. As an alternative to these denounced “counter-examples”, houses should have roofs with a local feel and parallel roof ridges. The Nazi dictatorship made good use of Heimatschutz architecture for its housing construction plans. In the 1930s and in the post-war era the forms became increasingly more schematic, while the creative approach to building traditions fell to the wayside. Tom Lechner’s first houses were built on the edges of towns without a complex built context. But with the Steinacher Residence in 2003 in Goldegg he had the opportunity to address the qualities of the historically valuable and protected town center: “A precedent and model for the design,” Lechner stated in the application, “is the old adjoining building (a timber construction with independent footings) with its unobtrusive and self-evident form and materials”. Lechner employed timber – which is characteristic in the center of Goldegg – for the structure and the shingle façade cladding. The contemporary, reduced formal language of the two-storey building volume, with its pitched roof and ridge orientation that clearly refers to the historical town center, led to intense discussions with the committee for townscape protection. For the architect this profound encounter with building in historical surroundings revealed a new perspective and generated a richer spectrum of problem-solving approaches. Aside from trends in the architecture scene and the standardized aesthetics in architectural magazines, Lechner undogmatically transformed these newly discovered reference points into new qualities. The pitched roof and its respective orientation – symmetrical or asymmetrical – would become an integral part of coherent overall design concepts. The house can be optimally embedded in a sloped topography, as in the A./Ch. Peneder Residence (2008; p. 60) and S.B. Residence (2009; p. 88), or placed in a relationship with the neighboring built context like the Kaiser Residence (2007; p. 52).

Gestaltung von Gebäuden wird in der deutschen Nachbarschaft – abgesehen von Sonderbauaufgaben – auch heute ein strenges Regiment mit entsprechenden Bebauungsreglements geführt. Das Bauamt des Landratsamts Traunstein beispielsweise listet – als Anregung für die Bauwerber – zehn Wesensmerkmale der oberbayerischen Bauweise auf als Auszug aus der Baufibel des Landkreises Traunstein. Aus deren Kombination können schwerlich anspruchsvolle Gebäude entstehen. Die Masse der Wohnhäuser in den bayerischen Landgemeinden ist von einem unbeholfenen Gebrauch lokaler Bauformen geprägt voll von Schematismus und Nivellierung. Ein „schlichtes, aber in den Einzelheiten gut durchgearbeitetes Haus“ war das Ziel der Heimatschutzbewegung, so Karl Erdmannsdorffer im 1937 in der ersten Auflage erschienenen Buch „Bauberater für Siedlung und Eigenheim – Die Baugestaltung“ (München). Dieser Anspruch wurde keinesfalls immer erreicht. Die in den letzten 80 Jahren in diesem Sinne baugenehmigten Gebäude sind meist zurückhaltend, sind im besten Fall von gediegener Einfachheit, können aber auch trostlose Fadesse und Einfalt ausstrahlen. Der Gesamteindruck der Siedlungen und Ortschaften in Bayern ist jedenfalls – und das ist das äußerst Sympathische – relativ homogen und nicht aggressiv gegenüber der sie umgebenden Kulturlandschaft. Die Entwicklung hierher begann am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Heimatschutzbewegung etablierte sich damals in Österreich wie Deutschland als architektonische Reformbewegung, wandte sich gegen den Historismus und den Heimatstil mit seinen oberflächlich applizierten ländlichen Motiven. In ihrer kreativsten Phase in den 1920er Jahren entstanden die bemerkenswertesten Beispiele wie etwa Clemens Holzmeisters eigenes Berghaus auf dem Hahnenkamm in Kitzbühel (1930). Die Architekten, die der Heimatschutzbewegung nahe standen, griffen in ihren Streitschriften auch die heterogen sich

entwickelnden Siedlungen an den Ortsrändern an und forderten einheitliche Erscheinungsbilder. Als Alternative zu diesen angeprangerten „Gegenbeispielen“ sollten die Häuser Dächer lokaler Prägung mit gleicher Firstrichtung erhalten. Die NS-Diktatur hat sich im Wohnbau der Heimatschutzarchitektur bedient. In den 1930er Jahren und in der Nachkriegszeit wurden die Formen immer schematischer, für den kreativen Umgang mit der Bautradition blieb hingegen kaum Platz. Tom Lechners erste Wohnhäuser entstanden an Ortsrändern ohne anspruchsvollen baulichen Kontext, mit dem Haus Steinacher 2003 in Goldegg erhielt er die Möglichkeit, sich den Qualitäten des historisch wertvollen, besonders geschützten Ortskerns zu stellen: „Als Vorbild und Vorlage des Entwurfes diente“ – so Lechner bei der Einreichung  – „das alte Nebengebäude (Holzbauweise mit Einzelfundamenten) in seiner unaufdringlichen und selbstverständlichen Form und Materialwahl.“ Lechner setzte den Baustoff Holz, der das Zentrum Goldeggs prägt, konstruktiv und mit der Verschindelung auch fassadenbildend ein. Die zeitgemäß reduzierte Formensprache des zweigeschoßigen Holzbaukörpers, der sich mit Satteldach und Firstrichtung dem historischen Ortskern klar unterordnet, führte zu intensiven Diskussionen mit der Ortsbildschutzkommission. Für den Architekten eröffnete die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit dem Bauen in historischer Umgebung eine neue Perspektive, führte zu einem reicheren Spektrum an Lösungsansätzen. Abseits der Trends in der Architekturszene und der normierten Ästhetik in den Architekturzeitschriften transformierte Lechner undogmatisch die neu entdeckten Anknüpfungspunkte zu Qualitäten. Das Satteldach und seine jeweilige Orientierung – symmetrisch oder asymmetrisch – wurden integraler Bestandteil schlüssiger Gesamtkonzeptionen. Das Haus wird solcherart optimal in eine Hanglage eingebettet wie bei den Wohnhäusern A./Ch. Peneder (2008; S. 60) und S.B. (2009; S. 88) oder in den baulichen Kontext zur Nachbar-

The topic of ensembles in the landscape begins with the Trattner/ Scharfetter Residence in Radstadt (2010; p. 160) and is elaborated with the D. Residence “hamlet” (2012; p. 262). Tom Lechner uses the added value of sloped roofs for the rich inner life of his houses to offer new spatial qualities for living and sleeping spaces. In the politically turbulent interwar period the Heimatschutz, which began as a reform movement, eroded between internationally oriented modernism and traditionalism and lost its creative openness. Beyond such ideological skirmishes, Tom Lechner has refined his approach to placeness in the last ten years and linked it with a cosmopolitan openness without a specific formal signature. Architects and clients who wanted to build ambitious single-family houses in the province of Salzburg were impeded for a long time – Tom Lechner experienced this first-hand. Only very gradually and in specific circumstances did a window for contemporary architecture begin to open in Salzburg in the 1980s. In the 1990s this leeway broadened and the architecture scene augmented. Requirements for new buildings such as the roof shape, cladding, ridge orientation, etc. were later on eased or abolished. But public offices neither practiced nor supported an equally intensive architectural schooling or construction advisory. The Province of Salzburg began to phase out the system of district architects. However, the majority of the design advisory committees in the districts and bigger municipalities were not reformed to such an extent that today quality standards now guide the discourse. Since 2013 Tom Lechner has been active in the Advisory Committee for Architecture – Zell am See in the Pinzgau region, which has the longest running tradition in this regard after the City of Salzburg. But time and again local politicians want to instrumentalize this committee or steer projects past it without any further discussion. It remains to be seen whether the undesirable developments in regional

planning in the past decades in Salzburg are repairable or reversible. One can only hope that Lechner’s position sets a precedent for the architectural appearance of towns and regions. Tom Lechner’s buildings are succinct works that do not scream for attention or reject their neighbors; they transform the qualities of regional building culture. These qualities must be demanded from the clients. To this end, competent contact persons are needed on the side of political and municipal authorities. Without a fundamental reform in the division of responsibilities and the elimination of mayors as the highest building authorities, we can expect little change. Only then will a paradigm change also be possible in smaller communities. The debate about roof shapes didn’t result in any discussions about quality. And now, instead of a silencing and forced monotony, a vehement “everything goes” sprawls out. It’s not only the architecturefree, kitsch buildings like the “Tuscan Villas” and other indescribable fallacies that deserve criticism, also the many houses that attempt to be modern – likely with a flat roof and often at any price – are often equally so naïvely designed and intrusive. In both cases, the architectural and the landscape contexts are ignored. We’ve come full circle. In the meanwhile, Tom Lechner prefers to cast his gaze over a Bavarian village. His conscious self-restraint is a tremendous enrichment for his architecture and the region. It would be an enormous profit for rural building culture when this voluntary discipline would seize all planners. Building Culture in Tourism For decades already, the tourism industry has design-wise had the liberty to do as it pleases in Salzburg: Agglomerations that often explode the scale of the vernacular structures grew and grow undisturbed, apparently because the guests expect such counterfeit Alpine-decorated idylls.

schaft wie Haus Kaiser (2007; S. 52) gestellt. Das Thema des Ensembles in der Landschaft eröffnete das Wohnhaus Trattner/Scharfetter in Radstadt (2010; S. 160) und vertieft der „Weiler“ D. (2012, S. 262). Tom Lechner nutzt den Mehrwert schräger Dachflächen für das reiche Innenleben seiner Häuser, sie bieten neue Raumqualitäten fürs Wohnen und Schlafen. Der als Reformbewegung begonnene Heimatschutz rieb sich in der politisch turbulenten Zwischenkriegszeit zwischen international orientierter Moderne und Traditionalismus auf bzw. verlor seine kreative Offenheit. Jenseits solch ideologischer Scharmützel hat Tom Lechner im Schaffen der letzten 10 Jahre seine Annäherung an den Ort vertieft und ohne formal determinierte Handschrift mit weltläufiger Offenheit verknüpft. Architekten und Bauherrn, die im Salzburger Land engagierte Einfamilienhäuser bauen wollten, wurden lange behindert, das hat Tom Lechner auch am eignen Leib erfahren. Ganz langsam und punktuell begann sich in Salzburg in den 1980er Jahren ein Fenster für zeitgemäßes Bauen zu öffnen, der Spielraum und die Architekturszene verbreiterten sich in den 1990er Jahren, später wurden Vorgaben wie Dachform, Eindeckung, Firstrichtung etc. bei neuen Bebauungsplänen gelockert oder abgeschafft. Eine entsprechend intensive Architekturvermittlung bzw. Bauberatung haben die öffentlichen Stellen aber weder betrieben noch gefördert. Das Land Salzburg begann das System der Bezirksarchitekten auslaufen zu lassen. Allerdings wurde der Großteil der Gestaltungsbeiräte in den Bezirken und größeren Gemeinden nicht solcherart reformiert, dass nun Qualitätsstandards den Diskurs – und dies möglichst flächendeckend – bestimmen. Tom Lechner engagiert sich seit 2013 im Gestaltungsbeirat von Zell am See im Pinzgau, der nach jenem der Stadt Salzburg die längste Tradition besitzt. Allerdings will die Lokalpolitik auch dieses Gremium

immer wieder instrumentalisieren bzw. Projekte ohne Diskussion an ihm vorbeilenken. Ob die raumordnerischen Fehlentwicklungen der vergangenen Jahrzehnte in Salzburg sanierbar bzw. reversibel sind, sei dahingestellt. Für den architektonischen Auftritt der Orte ist zu hoffen, dass Lechners Haltung Schule macht. Tom Lechners Bauten sind prägnant, ohne sich wichtig zu machen oder sich der Nachbarschaft zu verweigern, sie transformieren Qualitäten regionaler Baukultur. Von den Bauwerbern müssen diese Qualitäten eingefordert werden. Dazu sind auf Politiker- und Behördenseite kompetente Ansprechpartner notwendig. Ohne grundlegende Reform der Zuständigkeiten und Abschaffung des Bürgermeisters als erster Bauinstanz wird sich wenig ändern. Dann erst kann auch in kleinen Gemeinden ein Paradigmenwechsel gelingen. Der Debatte um Dachformen folgte keine Qualitätsdiskussion. So breitet sich – anstelle von Knebelung und Zwangsmonotonie – ein penetrantes Everything goes aus. Zu kritisieren sind nicht nur architekturfrei-kitschige Bauten wie z.B. „toskanische Villen“ und andere unbeschreibliche Verirrungen, auch viele Häuser, die – möglicherweise mit Flachdach und oft um jeden Preis – modern sein wollen, sind oft gestalterisch nicht weniger unbedarft und gleichermaßen aufdringlich. In beiden Fällen wird der bauliche und landschaftliche Kontext negiert. Hier schließt sich der Kreis. Tom Lechner lässt mittlerweile den Blick lieber über einen bayerischen Ort schweifen. Seine bewusste Selbstbeschränkung ist für seine Architektur und den Ort eine große Bereicherung. Für die Baukultur auf dem Land wäre es ein enormer Gewinn, wenn diese freiwillige Disziplinierung alle Planer erfassen würde.

In Salzburg’s hotel industry, new buildings are the exception: The main focus is the renovation and upgrading, expansion and redesign of the existing tourist provisions. This is how the modest dark-clad “Lederhosen architecture” of Hotel Lacknerhof from the 1970s in Flachau (Unterberggasse 172), for example, mutated with the 2001 extension of the wellness area into a “castle hotel” – as it is now officially called – with bulging turrets. Still today, this is the typical fate for these complexes, which mostly grew heterogeneously since the 1960s and 70s. Tom Lechner has revealed alternatives: With Hotel Tauernhof in Flachau (2008) he didn’t attempt to come up with contemporary attire for the agglomeration through elaborate conversions. He concentrated on the functional shortage and directly connected the different building volumes to the main street with a concise, linear 70-meter-long front zone. It draws attention away from the antiquated upper storeys and lends the entire hotel a new contemporary character. A massive plinth with steps and ramps mediates the height differences and creates new roofed or open lounge areas between the entrances. Vertically mounted timber fins accentuate the strategically placed openings in the façade and separate the hotel zone from the street. The larch wood, says hotel owner Theresia Harml, “prepares the guests for a warm welcoming”. The mayor of Flachau, who authorized the “kitschification” of the nearby Hotel Lacknerhof eight years before, initially wanted to inhibit this succinct intervention. Theresia Harml remembers: “The big critics in the beginning congratulated us and had to admit that also a modern construction like this has its place in rural areas.” The young generation of hoteliers, who “inherit” similar incoherent complexes, is increasingly more open for a new position that abandons the clichés. With his motivated clients Tom Lechner could implement an analogous process at Hotel Alpenhof in Flachau (2009/2011;

p. 174) and the Oberwimm Youth Hotel in Wagrain (2013; p. 240) with its significantly larger extension building. In order to attain a hospitable atmosphere in the tourism sector through contemporary means, materials and surface structure are of great importance. Above and beyond the visible building components, Tom Lechner is working on a radical constructional simplification of architecture. Structural Clarity Classic examples of twentieth-century modern architecture were conceived on the basis of detailing and design plans characterized by clarity and structural simplicity. But starting in the 1970s as a consequence of the oil crisis, the general readability – for example, of an outer wall, its composition, and materiality – yielded to an increasingly complex make-up of the façade. Whoever wants to develop strategies to simplify or reduce materials and their combination and, in the process, deviates from the “standard” and the notorious “recognized rules of technology” needs perseverance: Technical planners, craftsmen, and building experts rarely see such ambitions as a positive challenge worthy of support and implementation. On the contrary: Innovative scenarios and the corresponding architectural details are often hostage to the question of liability. On an ordinary construction site the building’s appearance for the greater part of its construction phase is marked by a wild mix of materials with crude disparate surfaces, which need to comply with different requirements – building standards, statics, energy efficiency, etc. In the end, the mishmash shell construction is wrapped on the

Baukultur im Tourismus Bereits über Jahrzehnte hat in Salzburg die Tourismus-Wirtschaft gestalterische Narrenfreiheit: Agglomerationen, die oft den Maßstab gewachsener Strukturen sprengen, wuchsen und wachsen ungestört, angeblich weil der Gast solch älplerisch dekorierte Retortenidyllen erwartet. In Salzburgs Hotellerie bilden Neubauten die Ausnahme, die Hauptthemen sind das Sanieren und Upgraden, Erweitern und Aufrüsten des touristischen Angebots. So mutierte beispielsweise die harmlosschlichte, dunkelhäutige „Lederhosen-Architektur“ des Lacknerhofs aus den 1970er Jahren in Flachau (Unterberggasse 172) mit der Erweiterung des Wellness-Bereichs ab 2001 mit Türmchenbesatz und Ausbauchungen zum „Schlosshotel“, wie es sich offiziell nennen darf. Oft enden noch heute die meist ab den 1960er/1970er Jahren heterogen gewachsenen Komplexe derartig. Tom Lechner zeigt Alternativen auf: Beim Hotel Tauernhof in Flachau (2008) machte er nicht den Versuch, die Agglomeration durch aufwändige Radikalumbauten zeitgemäß zu bekleiden. Er konzentrierte sich auf die funktionellen Mängel und verband die unterschiedlichen Baukörper direkt an der Hauptstraße mit einer linear-prägnanten Vorzone von 70 Metern Länge. Sie nimmt den altbackenen Obergeschoßen ihre Präsenz und gibt dem ganzen Hotel einen neuen, zeitgemäßen Charakter. Ein massiver Sockel mit Stufen und Rampen gleicht die Höhen an und eröffnet zwischen den Eingängen neue, überdachte oder offene Aufenthaltsbereiche. Mit vertikalen Holz-Lamellen werden Öffnungen bewusst gesetzt und die Hotelzone vom Straßenraum getrennt. Das verwendete Lärchenholz, so die Hotelbesitzerin Theresia Harml, „bereitet dem Gast einen warmen Empfang“. Der Bürgermeister von Flachau, der acht Jahre zuvor die Verkitschung des nahen Lacknerhofs genehmigt hatte, wollte

anfänglich diese schlüssige Intervention verhindern. Theresia Harml erinnert sich: „Größte Kritiker im Vorfeld gratulierten und mussten sich eingestehen, dass auch moderne Bauweise dieser Art durchaus ihren Platz im ländlichen Raum hat.“ Die junge Hoteliers-Generation, die ähnlich unsystematisch gewachsene Gebäudekomplexe „erbt“, ist immer häufiger offen für Neupositionierungen, die frei von Klischees sind. Beim Hotel Alpenhof in Flachau führte Tom Lechner mit motivierten Bauherren einen analogen Prozess durch (2009/2011; S. 174). Ähnliches gilt für das Jugendhotel Oberwimm in Wagrain mit ungleich größerem Erweiterungsgebäude (2013; S. 240). Um im Tourismus-Sektor mit zeitgemäßen Mitteln eine gastfreundliche Atmosphäre erreichen zu können, sind Materialien und Oberflächenstrukturen von wesentlicher Bedeutung. Über die sichtbaren Bauteile hinaus arbeitet Tom Lechner an der radikalen, konstruktiven Vereinfachung des Bauens. Strukturelle Klarheit Nicht nur die Klassiker der Modernen Architektur im 20. Jahrhundert entstanden auf der Basis von Detail- und Ausführungsplänen, die von Klarheit und struktureller Einfachheit geprägt waren. Die allgemein verständliche Lesbarkeit – beispielsweise einer Außenwand, ihres Aufbaus und ihrer Materialität – wich, in den 1970er Jahren als Folge des Ölschocks beginnend, einer immer komplexer werdenden Aufrüstung des Fassadenaufbaus. Wer Strategien zur Vereinfachung oder Reduktion von Materialien bzw. deren Kombination entwickeln will und damit vom „Standard“ und den berühmtberüchtigten „anerkannten Regeln der Technik“ ab-

inside and out and clothed with a material-reduced, unifying skin – the architecture “emerges”. Tom Lechner offers alternative strategies: For example, together with the client couple of the Trattner/Scharfetter Residence (2009/2010; p. 160), a private home constructed of plywood boards, he examined the cost-intensive standards. This led to the decision for minimal use of suspended ceilings and instead visible supporting beams with floorboards. They intentionally did away with the typical elaborate floor layers with sound absorption, and simply installed the water supply and drainage pipes for the upper storey between the beams. The small ensemble elegantly combines spatial generosity with sensible reduction. Also the Maschinenring Office Building in St. Johann (2010/2012; p. 194) illustrates a carefully structured development process. The basement and the massive concrete core were made of in-situ concrete, and the chisel finish of the wall surfaces was done immediately thereafter. Two weeks later, it was enclosed on all sides by a threestorey timber construction with already more than half of the surfaces that would remain visible. The last refinements were made prior to completion. Managing director Rudolf Huber desired a wood frame construction, but the building management company SABAG needed to be convinced in the first place. In contrast to the estimated total cost for a conventional massive construction, the timber alternative was cheaper by a surprising four percent, according to Huber. The savings in the final building stages and surface finishing obviously improve wood’s competitiveness and moreover deliver a heightened atmospheric quality: In the Maschinenring this is achieved with the high-quality silver fir that clads the plywood boards of the timber construction. To avoid any unwanted surprises having ordered “for

use in visible areas”, the architect, the client, and the carpenter went to Friedrich Haltmeier’s saw and planing mill ProfiHolz in Vorarlberg and selected the elegantly grained “rift/semi-rift knotless” wood type. The woodworker provided the different finishes: the outdoor cladding is rough sawn and untreated, the inside is sanded, and for the furniture it is also oiled. The material-specific and static-structural optimization of the timber building is a key aspect of its success. Take the standardized construction of the 28 offices: On the basis of a board width of 1.25 meters, an almost 20-square-meter standard room (4.375 x 4.375 meters) is formed from three-and-a-half units. In the two-storey foyer, the plywood board ceilings, walls, and handrails and the laminated timber struts create a symbiosis between construction and surface. In this light, the next logical step would be to dimension the supporting wall and ceiling elements greater than the static requirements, so that the necessary fire protection and prescribed energy indexes can be met without additional cladding or an external layer of insulation. Then the massive wood elements would not only form the inner shell but also the façade. Unfortunately, regulations concerning building components and energy guidelines made this impossible in the Maschinenring Office Building. Tom Lechner plans to realize this next radical step of a uniform materiality in the structure, façade, and inner shell with a single-family house near Salzburg as a pure massive wood construction. The longing for simplicity and clarity materializes through restraint, in the best sense of the word. This challenge can be the best catalyst for creative progress.

weicht, braucht Durchhaltekraft: Solch ein Anliegen wird von Fachplanern, Handwerkern und Bausachverständigen nur äußerst selten als positive Herausforderung gesehen, die es zu unterstützen und zu ermöglichen gilt. Im Gegenteil: Oft werden Innovationsszenarien und entsprechende Architekturdetails von der Haftungsfrage in Geiselhaft genommen. Auf einer üblichen Baustelle ist das Erscheinungsbild eines Gebäudes den längsten Teil seiner Bauzeit von einem wild wachsenden Material- und Baustoffmix mit derb-heterogenen Oberflächen geprägt, der verschiedenste Anforderungen – Normen, Statik, Energieeffizienz etc. – zu erfüllen hat. Am Ende wird das Rohbau-Konvolut innen wie außen verpackt und mit einer in der Materialität reduzierten, vereinheitlichenden Haut überzogen – die Architektur „erscheint“. Tom Lechner eröffnet alternative Strategien: So hat er sich gemeinsam mit dem Bauherrenpaar des Wohnhauses Trattner/Scharfetter (2009/2010; S. 160) mit kostenintensiven Normen auseinandergesetzt, sie haben sich beispielsweise für minimierte Zwischendecken – nur die Balkenlagen mit Fußbodenbrettern – entschieden. Auf den üblichen, aufwändigen Bodenaufbau inklusive Trittschalldämmung wurde in diesem aus Brettsperrholz errichteten Privathaus bewusst verzichtet, Wasserleitung und Abfluss für das Obergeschoß sichtbar zwischen die Balken gelegt. Das kleine Ensemble verbindet räumliche Großzügigkeit mit sinnvoller Beschränkung. Einen sorgfältig strukturierten Entstehungsprozess zeigt auch das Gebäude des Maschinenrings in St. Johann (2010/2012; S. 194). In Ortbeton entstanden Untergeschoß und massiver Betonkern, dessen Wände gleich gespitzt wurden. Dieser war nach zwei Wochen dreigeschoßig allseitig vom konstruktiven Holzbau umschlossen mit Oberflächen, die bereits zu mehr als der Hälfte die endgültig sichtbaren waren. Ausbau und Fertigstellung bildeten die Verfeinerung.

Geschäftsführer Rudolf Huber wünschte sich einen konstruktiven Holzbau, gemeinsam musste allerdings erst das Baumanagement SABAG überzeugt werden. Gegenüber den von der SABAG geschätzten Gesamtkosten in konventioneller Massivbauweise war der Holzbau – so Huber – um beachtliche vier Prozent günstiger. Einsparungen beim Endausbau bzw. Oberflächenfinish verbessern offensichtlich die Konkurrenzfähigkeit von Holz und können hohe atmosphärische Qualitäten ermöglichen: Beim Maschinenring sollte hochwertige Weißtanne als Decklage der Brettsperrholzplatten den Holzbau veredeln. Um dies zu erreichen und keine Überraschungen nach der Bestellung von „Sichtqualität“ zu erleben, wählten Architekt, Bauherr und Zimmermeister gemeinsam in Friedrich Haltmeiers Säge- und Hobelwerk ProfiHolz in Vorarlberg die elegant gemaserten Musterhölzer „Rift/Halbrift Astrein“ aus. Der Plattenproduzent verarbeitete die beigestellten Decklagenhölzer. Bei der Außenverschalung kam es unbehandelt sägerau, im Inneren des Hauses geschliffen bzw. bei den Möbeln zusätzlich geölt zum Einsatz. Die materialspezifische, statisch-konstruktive Optimierung der Massivholzbauweise ist ein wesentlicher Aspekt für ihre Konkurrenzfähigkeit. Sie wurde durch die standardisierte Umsetzung der 28 Bürozellen erreicht. Auf der Basis der Plattenbreite von 1,25 Metern entstand aus dreieinhalb Einheiten der knapp 20 Meter große Standardraum (4,375 x 4,375 Meter). Decken, Wände und Brüstungen aus Brettsperrholz sowie Leimholzstützen bilden im zweigeschoßigen Foyer die Symbiose aus Konstruktion und Oberflächenwirkung. In diesem Sinne liegt der Schritt nahe, die tragenden Wand- und Deckenelemente so über die statischen Notwendigkeiten zu dimensionieren, dass ohne zusätzliche Verkleidungen bzw. außenliegende Dämmschicht der erforderliche Brandschutz bzw. die vorgeschriebenen Energiekennzahlen erreicht werden. Dann würden die Massivholzelemente nicht nur die innere Raumhülle, sondern auch die

Mature Early Works After the years of “storm and stress” Tom Lechner has progressed and become more open and less dogmatic: For example, with the Thurner Residence in 2000/2001 the architect did everything in his power to realize a flat roof against the resistance of the Altenmarkt mayor. His urge for unlimited freedom yielded to a readiness for selfrestraint and radical reduction in design, as is especially evident in the D. Residence (2012; p. 262). In the A./Ch. Peneder Residence (2008; p. 60) Lechner explored the client’s wish for a pitched roof and found a fitting solution, which is fully expressed in the inner spaces and the optimal situation of the building volume in the landscape. Lechner’s undogmatic openness achieved added value and a fruitful consensus – frightful compromises, on the other hand, which detract from the coherence of a project or can even make it a failure altogether, continue to be the architect’s rival.

Fassade bilden. Baurechtliche Anforderungen an die Bauteile bzw. energetischen Vorgaben machten dies beim Büro- und Verwaltungsgebäude Maschinenring nicht möglich. Tom Lechner will diesen nächsten radikalen Schritt einer einheitlichen Materialität von Konstruktion, Fassade und Innenhaut mit einem Einfamilienhaus in der Nähe Salzburgs als reinem Massivholzbau umsetzen. Die Sehnsucht nach Einfachheit und Klarheit verbindet sich in der Beschränkung im besten Wortsinn. Diese Herausforderung kann der beste Katalysator für kreative Weiterentwicklung sein. Gereiftes Frühwerk Tom Lechner hat sich weiterentwickelt und ist nach den Jahren des „Sturm und Drang“ offener und undogmatischer geworden: 2000/2001 beim Wohnhaus Thurner beispielsweise hat der Architekt noch alles daran gesetzt, gegen den Widerstand des Altenmarkter Bürgermeisters eine Flachdach-Lösung realisieren zu können. Dem Wunsch nach unbegrenzter Freiheit wich die Bereitschaft zur Selbstbegrenzung und gestalterisch radikalen Zurücknahme, wie das 2012 errichtete Ferienhaus D. (S. 262) besonders augenfällig zeigt. Beim Wohnhaus A./Ch. Peneder (2008; S. 60) prüfte Lechner den Wunsch der Bauherrin nach einem Satteldach und fand eine entsprechende Lösung, die innenräumlich und bei der Baukörpersituierung in der Landschaft ein Optimum erreichte. Lechners undogmatische Offenheit ermöglichte einen Mehrwert und fruchtbaren Konsens. Gegen furchtbare Kompromisse, die die Schlüssigkeit eines Projekts beeinträchtigen oder es gar zum Scheitern bringen können, kämpft der Architekt hingegen weiterhin.

FL What jumps out in your biography is that you returned to Pongau shortly after your architectural studies in Graz. You never worked in other offices? TL True, that’s unusual. Altenmarkt is not exactly a Mecca for architects. Most colleagues went to cities to look for work after their studies. In Graz I helped out with a competition here or there, but I didn’t work for a longer time in an office. Albeit, I did make a stopover in Berlin where I looked for what I figured could not be found at home: the cultural climate of a metropolis and inspiring surroundings in which to make architecture. FL So why didn’t you stay? TL I really liked the social sphere in Berlin. I didn’t leave because there weren’t opportunities. It was rather that I asked myself whether this would really make me happy or am I shying away from something. So that’s why I returned – and not with the intention that now I’m going to change everything back home as an architect but because I had the feeling I belong on the countryside. I never broke contact with home as I had been making music on the side for a longer time and always had a connection through the band. FL I assume it wasn’t a brass band. TL No, a rock band. We were very inspired by Seattle grunge, Nirvana or Pearl Jam, and also composed our own stuff.

FL Didn’t you ask yourself how you can survive in Altenmarkt in your profession? TL Sure, the existential question was always present. It was clear to me that I wanted to position myself as an architect, but not in what way, whether in an office structure or independently. FL So you also could have imagined the everyday life of an employee in a Pongau architecture office, above and beyond the time needed for the exam to become a licensed civil engineer? TL Yes, although there wasn’t an office that really came into question. My studies shaped my personal understanding of quality, and it became more concrete and focused in the following years. What I imagined I didn’t find whatsoever at home. The good thing was that I was embedded in a social network. Many people knew me from before – not as an architect but as a musician or from the theatre group. I was simply actively involved in social life. FL Your first commissions were single-family houses and quite soon also commercial buildings. Was much persuasion needed in order to win over clients to a different architectural language than what they were used to? TL I think persuasion was a factor in any case, especially since I couldn’t put an existing building on the table as a reference point. I had to demonstrate my understanding of architecture in long conversations, and then feel out the extent to which the clients identified with what

„Das will ich mir leisten“ T o m L ec h n e r i m G e s p r äc h m i t F r a n z i s k a L e e b ü b e r d i e F r eu d e n u n d B e s c h w e r l i c h k e i t e n d e s A r c h i t e k t u r schaffens in der Provinz

FL In deiner Biografie fällt auf, dass du bald nach dem Architekturstudium in Graz zurück in den Pongau gegangen bist. Hast du nie in anderen Büros gearbeitet? TL Stimmt, es ist außergewöhnlich. Altenmarkt ist ja kein Mekka für Architekturschaffende. Die meisten anderen Kollegen sind aufgrund der Arbeitssituation nach dem Studium in Städte gegangen. Ich habe in Graz das eine oder andere Mal bei Wettbewerben ausgeholfen, aber nie länger in einem Büro gearbeitet. Allerdings habe ich eine Zwischenstation in Berlin eingelegt, wo ich gesucht habe, was ich zu Hause nicht zu finden meinte: das kulturelle Angebot der Großstadt und ein Umfeld, um Architektur zu machen. FL Warum bist du dann doch nicht geblieben? TL Das gesellschaftliche Umfeld in Berlin hat mir sehr gefallen. Weggegangen bin ich nicht, weil das Angebot nicht da war, sondern weil ich mir die Frage gestellt habe, ob das jetzt tatsächlich befriedigend ist oder ich nicht doch vor irgendetwas davonlaufe. Und daher bin ich wieder zurückgegangen, nicht mit dem Ansatz, ich will zu Hause jetzt als Architekt alles umkrempeln, sondern nur weil ich gespürt habe, ich gehöre wieder aufs Land. Den Kontakt zur Heimat hatte ich nie abgebrochen, weil ich nebenbei lang Musik gemacht habe und durch die Band immer mit zuhause verbunden war. FL Ich nehme an, das war keine Blasmusikgruppe? TL Nein, eine Rockband, wir waren sehr inspiriert vom Seattle Grunge,

von Nirvana oder Pearl Jam und haben auch eigene Sachen komponiert. FL Hast du dich nicht gefragt, wie du in Altenmarkt in deinem Beruf überleben kannst? TL Doch, die Existenzfrage war immer da. Klar war, dass ich mich als Architekt positionieren möchte, aber nicht in welcher Art und Weise, ob eingebunden in eine Bürostruktur oder selbstständig. FL Du hättest dir also auch ein Angestelltendasein in einem Pongauer Architekturbüro über das notwendige Pflichtpensum für die Ziviltechnikerprüfung hinaus vorstellen können? TL Ja, obwohl es eigentlich kein Büro gegeben hat, das in Frage kam. Meine eigene Qualitätsdefinition wurde im Studium geprägt und wurde in den letzten Jahren noch konkreter und fokussierter. Was ich mir vorgestellt habe, habe ich zu Hause überhaupt nicht gefunden. Das Gute war aber, dass ich in ein soziales Netzwerk eingebettet war. Viele kannten mich schon damals, nicht als Architekten, sondern als Musiker oder von der Theatergruppe. Ich war halt aktiv im gesellschaftlichen Leben involviert. FL Die ersten Aufträge waren Einfamilienhäuser, recht früh auch Gewerbebauten. Hat es viel Überzeugungsarbeit gebraucht, Bauherren für eine andere Architektursprache als die gewohnte zu gewinnen? TL Ich glaube, die Überzeugung hat es auf jeden Fall gebraucht, vor allem, weil ich mit keinem Bau als Referenz aufwarten konnte. Ich

I had said and ultimately how much they were willing to trust me, Mr. No-Name. FL The conversion of the Reiter Carpentry Shop was likely an important trigger and multiplier. TL Yes, it was the trigger to become an independent architect. As it was a business property, the official procedures went very smoothly. Thereafter, I had two single-family houses where it was quite a different thing. The responsible mayor didn’t see me as the architect but as the Lechner Tom that he knew back in the day, the musician and youth. It was easier in places where I wasn’t known. That’s why I formed a joint office with Alex Pedevilla. I figured it was a good idea to have someone serious at your side. But two years later Alex went back to South Tyrol and now runs his own office in Bruneck. FL But you kept the company name LP architektur nevertheless. TL Well, today you can read it as Lechner and Partner. Now I run the office alone, however I see my team as my partners, as I do my clients and contractors. FL You are great at networking. All of your clients who I had the opportunity to meet praise your commitment and your power of persuasion. Can a passion for something be better lived out on the countryside? TL If you can meet people on the level where they’re coming from and enthuse them, then they will be ready to go in new directions. This is not easier in rural areas than it is in the city. I would venture to say that the fixed opinion on the countryside can be quite careworn. “We have always done it this way” is a common attitude. One doesn’t understand why someone comes along, asks questions, and has a different view on things. Communication in the province is indeed restricted. Depending on hierarchal status and epoch, communication has also been seen as a threat in a certain sense. The farmer had the

say; the maiden’s opinion counted for nothing. FL On the other hand, Altenmarkt is long since not a farming village anymore and was already dominated by tourism when you were a child. TL Yes, in the 1970s and 80s began the heyday of tourism, and society was also so steadfast to afford a holiday given of the economic situation. FL In most of the winter sport areas, the farming community transformed quite rapidly into a tourism service provider society. Even though so many people come from all around the world, this obviously has changed little regarding the openness of society. One tries to preserve traditions even though they are now only camouflage and decoration. How did you experience this? TL Absolutely true. One adapted to the image that the guest expected and stopped developing in the process. You play the role of the farmer that you were and neglect your own needs as a stand-in. I had a first-hand experience as my parents rented out private rooms. FL Were you also one of those kids who had to clean out your room when the tourists came? TL Yeah, exactly. A class of clientele emerged at that time who sought contact with families and hospitality. The guests sat with us at the table, cooked in our kitchen, and watched TV in our living room. I don’t know if that had a negative effect on me, but it was a situation, looking back, where I wonder if it was really all love, peace, and harmony and if my parents didn’t suffer under it. On the other hand, the guests financed the oil for the heating at that time. Our entire region has become a stage, and the chance to develop further – although I am not really sure it actually ever was one – fell by the wayside.

habe in langen Gesprächen meine Auffassung von Architektur darlegen müssen und dann gemerkt, wie weit sich die Bauherren damit identifizieren und wie weit sie mir No-Name dann schlussendlich auch vertrauen können. FL Der Umbau der Tischlerei Reiter war wahrscheinlich ein wichtiger Auftakt und Multiplikator. TL Ja, war ein Auftakt, um sich selbstständig zu machen. Da es ein Gewerbebau war, gestaltete sich das Behördenverfahren reibungslos. Danach hatte ich zwei Einfamilienhäuser, wo das schon etwas anders war. Die zuständigen Bürgermeister haben in mir nicht den Architekten gesehen, sondern den Lechner Tom, wie sie ihn kannten –als Musiker und Jugendlichen. In Orten, wo ich unbekannt war, war es leichter. Daher bin ich mit Alex Pedevilla eine Büropartnerschaft eingegangen, weil ich dachte, es ist gut, jemand Seriösen an der Seite zu haben. Alex ist aber nach zwei Jahren nach Südtirol zurückgegangen und führt jetzt sein eigenes Büro in Bruneck. FL Den Firmennamen LP architektur hast du aber trotzdem beibehalten. TL Ja, das kann man jetzt als Lechner und Partner lesen. Ich führe das Büro nun zwar alleine, aber ich sehe die Mitarbeiter als meine Partner, ebenso meine Bauherren und Firmen. FL Du bist ein großartiger Netzwerker. Alle deine Bauherren, die ich kennenlernen durfte, haben dein Engagement und deine Überzeugungskraft gelobt. Lässt sich Leidenschaft für eine Sache auf dem Land besser ausleben? TL Wenn man in der Lage ist, die Leute dort abzuholen, wo sie sind, und sie zu begeistern, dann sind sie bereit, andere Wege zu gehen. Das ist auf dem Land nicht leichter als in der Stadt. Ich wage sogar zu behaupten, dass die eingesessene Meinung auf dem Land schon sehr verhärmt sein kann. „Wir haben es immer schon so gemacht“,

ist eine verbreitete Haltung. Man versteht nicht, warum einer daherkommt, der hinterfragt und eine andere Sichtweise auf die Dinge hat. Die Kommunikation auf dem Land ist ja eingeschränkt. Je nach hierarchischer Stellung und Epoche wurde das Kommunizieren auch in gewissem Maß als Gefahr gesehen. Der Bauer hatte das Sagen, die Meinung der Magd galt nichts. FL Nun ist ja Altenmarkt längst kein Bauerndorf mehr und war ja schon auch vom Tourismus bestimmt, als du ein Kind warst. TL Ja, in den 70er und 80er Jahren begann die Hochblüte des Tourismus, wo auch die Gesellschaft von der wirtschaftlichen Situation her so gefestigt war, sich den Urlaub leisten zu können. FL In den meisten Wintersportorten hat sich die bäuerliche Gesellschaft recht rasch zu einer touristischen Dienstleistergesellschaft gewandelt. Obwohl so viele Menschen aus der ganzen Welt kommen, hat das in Bezug auf die Offenheit der Gesellschaft offensichtlich wenig gebracht. Man versuchte irgendwie, die Traditionen hinüberzuretten, auch wenn sie nur noch Camouflage und Staffage sind. Wie hast du das erlebt? TL Absolut, man hat sich dem Bild angepasst, das der Gast erwartet, und dabei aufgehört sich weiterzuentwickeln. Man spielt die Rolle als der Bauer, der man war, und stellt als Statist die eigenen Bedürfnisse hintan. Ich habe es am eigenen Leib erlebt, weil meine Eltern Privatzimmer vermietet haben. FL Warst du auch eines jener Kinder, die ihr Zimmer räumen mussten, wenn die Touristen gekommen sind? TL Ja, genau. Es kristallisierte sich damals eine Gästeschicht heraus, die Familienanschluss und Gastfreundschaft gesucht hat. Die Gäste sind mit uns am Tisch gesessen, haben in unserer Küche gekocht und in unserem Wohnzimmer ferngesehen. Ich weiß nicht, ob mich das

FL I assume that as an architect you have the ambition to bring a new accent or something like authenticity to regional architecture. But you have built very little for the tourism sector. TL To date, this has been limited to three realized projects. In the past, there were requests, which I turned down after one or two intensive meetings. FL Why? TL I realized that the clients didn’t come to me because they appreciated my work but because I had attained a status in the meanwhile that stands for something else. FL Because Tom Lechner is now a renowned architect who designs slick buildings. TL Right. He’s won a prize here and there, so let’s ask him for once. But you quickly see that such a collaboration rests on shaky foundations. FL In a society where everybody knows everybody, word goes around when an architect turns down a commission. Can you afford it? TL Well, I want to afford it. It was clear from the very beginning that our work is extremely polarizing. Either you hate us or you love us – there’s nothing in-between. But I don’t see that as such a problem because I deal primarily with those who love us. FL After all, you are very successful even though you operate far away from the cultural centers. There’s no building that doesn’t get publicity, you are invited for lectures and exhibitions, you receive prestigious prizes. But locally you do not have exchange within an architectural scene. Don’t you miss that?

TL I have undergone a development in this respect. In the beginning I really lacked a dialogue with colleagues. That’s why I assumed a position with the Chamber of Architects and Consulting Engineers of Upper Austria and Salzburg and was the chairman of the Public Committee for a time. It was a bit disappointing in the end as it was never about the subject matter, rather mainly personal trivialities. But then I made friends, both among architects with whom I can exchange ideas and also like-minded people who work in other professions but also live in the country and have experienced similar things as musicians or artists. FL Interdisciplinary exchanges can be far more enriching than those always within one’s own professional group. TL Yes, and I have also noticed that we architects are such a heterogeneous mass, in which quality claims vary, ambition and envy are prevalent, and there is very little honest exchange. In the meanwhile, I believe the prominent position our office has outside of a scene has led to the fact that our work is receiving broader attention than it would, for example, in Vorarlberg. Being different has an effect that transcends provincial borders. FL How important is it to you to be able to “sell” architecture? TL Incredibly important. FL Today there are more than enough tools for this purpose and, one the one hand, it is quite simple for all to send pretty pictures via the Internet out into the world; on the other hand, it is more difficult for an individual to stand out in this flood of information. TL Yes, that poses many dangers. For me, interpersonal relations are very important – in the event one still even gets the chance. Much is decided through competitions, where at the start you don’t know the

so negativ geprägt hat, aber es war schon eine Situation, die ich im Nachhinein hinterfrage, ob das alles Friede, Freude, Eierkuchen war und die Eltern nicht doch darunter gelitten haben. Andererseits haben uns die Gäste damals das Öl für die Heizung finanziert. Unsere ganze Region ist zur Bühne geworden und die Chance sich weiterzuentwickeln – obwohl ich gar nicht weiß, ob es eine gewesen wäre – ist auf der Strecke geblieben. FL Ich gehe davon aus, dass du als Architekt den Anspruch hast, einen neuen Akzent oder auch so etwas wie Authentizität in das regionale Bauen hineinzubringen. Aber für den Tourismussektor hast du kaum etwas gebaut. TL Das hat sich bis dato auf drei realisierte Arbeiten beschränkt. Es gab zwar in der Vergangenheit einige Anfragen, wo ich dann aber nach ein, zwei intensiveren Gesprächen abgelehnt habe. FL Warum? TL Weil ich gemerkt habe, die Bauherren sind nicht zu mir gekommen, weil sie von meiner Arbeit überzeugt waren, sondern weil ich mittlerweile eine Position hatte, die für was anderes steht. FL Also weil der Lechner Tom jetzt ein bekannter Architekt ist, der schicke Bauten entwirft. TL Ja, genau. Der hat jetzt da und dort einen Preis gewonnen, also fragen wir den einmal. Aber man merkt dann bald, dass so eine Zusammenarbeit auf wackeligen Beinen steht. FL In einer Gesellschaft, wo jeder jeden kennt, spricht sich herum, wenn ein Architekt einen Auftrag ablehnt. Kann man sich das leisten? TL Naja, das will ich mir leisten. Es war von Anfang an klar, dass wir mit unserer Arbeit extrem polarisieren. Entweder man liebt uns oder

man hasst uns, dazwischen gibt es nichts. Aber das sehe ich gar nicht so problematisch, weil ich hauptsächlich mit denen zu tun habe, die uns lieben. FL Immerhin bist du ja sehr erfolgreich, obwohl du fernab der kulturellen Zentren wirkst. Kein Bau, der nicht publiziert wird, du wirst zu Vorträgen und Ausstellungen eingeladen, bekommst angesehene Preise. Vor Ort hast du aber keinen Austausch innerhalb einer Architekturszene. Fehlt dir das nicht? TL In dieser Hinsicht habe ich eine Entwicklung durchgemacht. Der Diskurs mit Kollegen ist mir am Anfang extrem abgegangen. Daher habe ich auch bei der Architektenkammer eine Funktion übernommen und war eine Zeit lang Vorsitzender des Öffentlichkeitsauschusses. Es war letztlich deprimierend, weil es nie um die Sache ging, sondern meist um persönlichen Kleinkram. Ich habe aber dann sowohl Freunde unter Architekten gefunden, mit denen ich mich austauschen kann, als auch Gleichgesinnte, die in anderen Berufen arbeiten, aber auch auf dem Land leben und als Musiker oder Künstler Ähnliches erlebt haben. FL Ein interdisziplinärer Austausch kann ja viel bereichernder sein als immer nur jener innerhalb der eigenen Berufsgruppe. TL Ja, und ich habe auch gemerkt, dass wir Architekten eine so heterogene Masse sind, wo die Qualitätsansprüche unterschiedlich, Neid und Ehrgeiz groß sind und es wenig ehrlichen Austausch gibt. Mittlerweile glaube ich, dass die exponierte Lage des Büros abseits einer Szene schon dazu führt, dass unsere Arbeit mehr gesehen wird, als sie zum Beispiel in Vorarlberg wahrgenommen würde. Das Anderssein wirkt über das Bundesland hinaus. FL Als wie wichtig erachtest du es, Architektur „verkaufen“ zu können?

people who are behind it. But this is also a good and right practice. I haven’t changed in personality since my studies, this is important to me. I’ve noticed that many of my colleagues’ demeanor and speech have changed significantly because they want to conform to an image of an architect. At some point I realized that this wouldn’t benefit me much. We often talk past our clients even though we perhaps mean the same thing. In my early years, when I had next to nothing to show and tried to convey my understandings of architectural quality, I realized that they didn’t get it, it was as flat as paper. So I organized small private excursions to Vorarlberg, each time with two or three families who wanted to build. In this way I could show them that there are completely different types of houses than those they are familiar with – and nevertheless there are also happy children playing in them. It’s important that what you want to say comes across. FL I have the impression that you enter into a very intense relationship with your clients, which they, in turn, greatly respect. This is an important factor for single-family houses, but how does this work with bigger projects? TL Our work is characterized by this personal involvement. I need this direct feedback from the clients, even when it is negative. My selfimage is not that of a routine service provider. FL Now you can present a remarkable oeuvre of unique, high-quality buildings located, above all, in rural regions. Outside of these isolated successes, isn’t it frustrating that the building culture precisely in these areas hasn’t taken a turn for the better? TL For this reason we also newly formed the small political party Ja zu Altenmarkt (Yes to Altenmarkt) in 2004, and right off three of us were elected to town council. We wanted to address exactly these structural quality questions, but we quickly learned that it is not so simple. After four years, it was clear for each of us that our energies were needed elsewhere than in politics. Nevertheless, we were able

to initiate an active playground for children, and we also had a good look at the mechanisms behind local politics. FL You’re saying that even as an architect one can only do little in local politics for a better building culture? TL The definitions of quality in construction, planning visions, development and zoning plans are far too abstract for the mayors. This should be shifted to a totally different decision-making level. I realized that I have little chance to influence anything from the political side. However, I do believe that each and every house can have an effect as part of the whole – and with that I not only mean in terms of style but also content. It is easy to talk about a house; what is not so easy to talk about is the space in-between. But getting a grip on the topic of sprawl is a matter of long breath and persistence. FL How powerful, influential, or powerless are regional architecture initiatives in the province? TL It always depends on the individual persons and their particular priorities. “Initiative Architektur” sets up select initiatives in the province on a regular basis, and there we can see just how important these events are. If this didn’t exist, there wouldn’t be anything. But a part of this theoretical approach is the practical aspect. In my aspirations to actually change something, I have noticed that this discussion often remains in a closed circle. This doesn’t help me further. I’d rather build something and thereby make a statement that can be publicly discussed. What I find a shame is that there isn’t a young generation of committed architects following up in Salzburg – or at least I haven’t recognized it. We need new energy. Every good and interesting project makes a contribution. FL Can it be that it is more difficult today economically for young architects then it was at the beginning of the professional careers of our generation?

TL Als absolut wichtig. FL Nun sind ja heute dazu überaus viele Tools vorhanden und es ist einerseits für alle sehr einfach, schöne Bilder via Internet in die Welt zu schicken, aber andererseits für den Einzelnen schwieriger, sich in dieser Flut zu behaupten. TL Ja, das birgt extreme Gefahren. Für mich ist das Zwischenmenschliche sehr wichtig, falls man überhaupt die Gelegenheit dazu bekommt. Vieles wird über Wettbewerbe entschieden, wo du anfangs ja die Personen nicht kennst, die dahinterstehen. Das ist aber auch gut und richtig so. Ich habe mich als Person seit dem Studium in meiner Persönlichkeit nicht verändert, das ist mir wichtig. Ich habe an vielen Kollegen gemerkt, dass sie sich im Auftreten und in der Sprache sehr verändert haben, weil sie einem Architekten-Bild gerecht werden wollten. Ich habe irgendwann gemerkt, dass ich damit nicht weit komme. Wir reden sonst an unseren Kunden vorbei, obwohl wir vielleicht eh das Gleiche meinen. In meinen ersten Jahren, wo ich noch nichts vorzuweisen hatte und versucht habe meine Qualitätsvorstellungen zu vermitteln, habe ich gemerkt, da kommt nichts hinüber, das bleibt so flach auf dem Papier. Also habe ich kleine private Exkursionen veranstaltet und bin jeweils mit zwei, drei Familien, die bauen wollten, nach Vorarlberg gefahren. So konnte ich ihnen zeigen, dass es ganz andere Arten von Häusern gibt als die, die sie kennen, in denen trotzdem fröhliche Kinder spielen. Es ist wichtig, dass rüberkommt, was man erzählen will. FL Ich habe den Eindruck, dass du mit deinen Bauherren sehr intensive Beziehungen eingehst, wofür du von diesen wiederum sehr geschätzt wirst. Bei Einfamilienhäusern ist dies zwar ohnehin wichtig, aber wie funktioniert das bei größeren Bauaufgaben? TL Ja, die sehr persönlichen Auseinandersetzungen prägen unsere Arbeit. Ich brauche das direkte Feedback der Bauherren, auch wenn es

negativ ist. Mein Selbstverständnis ist nicht das eines routinierten Dienstleisters. FL Du kannst in der Zwischenzeit ein bemerkenswertes Œuvre an einzelnen sehr guten Bauwerken vor allem in ländlichen Regionen vorweisen. Ist es abgesehen von diesen punktuellen Erfolgen nicht frustrierend, dass sich dennoch baukulturell gerade in diesen Gegenden wenig zum Besseren wendet? TL Dies war auch der Grund für die Neuformierung der kleinen Partei Ja zu Altenmarkt im Jahr 2004, mit der wir gleich zu dritt in den Gemeinderat eingezogen sind. Wir wollten genau diese strukturellen Qualitätsfragen angehen, haben dann aber schnell gelernt, dass es nicht so einfach geht. Nach vier Jahren hat jeder von uns gemerkt, dass er seine Energie anderswo braucht als in der Politik, aber wir haben immerhin einen engagierten Kinderspielplatz initiiert und jedenfalls einen guten Einblick in die Spielregeln der ländlichen Kommunalpolitik bekommen. FL Du meinst also, selbst als Architekt kann man in der Kommunalpolitik nur wenig für eine bessere Baukultur bewegen? TL Die Qualitätsdefinitionen in Struktur, Leitbildern, Bebauungsplänen, Flächenwidmung sind so abstrakt für die Bürgermeister, das müsste auf eine ganz andere Entscheidungsebene gestellt werden. Ich habe gemerkt, dass ich auf dieser Seite keine Chance habe, etwas zu beeinflussen. Allerdings glaube ich, dass jedes einzelne Haus dann in der Gesamtheit etwas bewirkt, und damit meine ich nicht auf einer stilistischen Ebene, sondern auch inhaltlich. Über ein Gebäude kann man leicht diskutieren, worüber man nicht so leicht reden kann, ist der Zwischenraum. Aber um das Thema der Zersiedelung in den Griff zu kriegen, braucht man einen enorm langen Atem. FL Wie mächtig, einflussreich oder ohnmächtig sind die regionalen Architekturinitiativen in der Provinz?

TL The scope of the tasks that architects have to fulfill has grown extremely in the last years. The art-design aspect has been reduced to a minimum or is suffocated by all sorts of bureaucratic and expert assessment agendas. Young architects lack the experience, and also education in this area is scarce. Hence, it is especially difficult for young colleagues – but economically speaking it is not exactly easy at the moment for the entire field! FL Why did this suppression of real architectural questions in favor of different normative-technical ones take place so rapidly? TL I think there has been a decline in the own responsibility of all protagonists. Hence, the decision-makers want to play it on the safe side: They want geological surveys, static analyses, energy performance certificates have to be calculated, and so on. Meanwhile, towns are unraveling at their edges, there’s no identity, you see little quality; instead of a return to unpretentious solutions, the choice is for decoration and new additions. Buildings are elbowing each other away. In tourism areas the idea of reduction and instead offering more quality simply doesn’t exist. There’s a lack of precedents. FL How can this trend be countered? TL Our colleagues and we have been fighting against all kinds of regulations for a long time, but as you can see the understandings of quality are so divergent that we are now almost wishing them back so that the townscapes can regain their coherency. This works better in South Tyrol. They still cling onto the things that characterize the place without being dogmatic about it like in Bavaria, for instance. But in the meanwhile, I prefer to look at a Bavarian village than one around here. FL What would you still like to build?

TL In any case a monastery. In such an architectural task it is not about creating status or an image through architecture but rather sensible, unconventional spatial situations and thinking about how space affects people. In general, I would like to make something that is not everyday, where architecture plays a role beyond just the functional. A brothel would also be interesting. Once I was asked about this in an interview. Up till then I hadn’t thought about it, but it has its virtues – the social milieu is very interesting and one really has to deal with the people. We also dealt with this approach beyond just the pure function in the Peneder Basis Office Building, where the social competence of working together was a topic. This is all more interesting than sometime designing the 27th anonymous office building.

TL Es hängt immer von den handelnden Personen ab, wo die ihre Schwerpunkte setzen. Die Initiative Architektur setzt immer wieder punktuell Initiativen auf dem Land und da merkt man, dass diese Veranstaltungen sehr wichtig sind. Gäbe es das nicht, gäbe es gar nichts. Es gehört zu diesem theoretischen Ansatz auch der praktische. In meinem Traum, etwas zu bewirken, ist mir klar geworden, dass die theoretische Diskussion zu oft im eigenen Kreis bleibt. Das bringt mich nicht weiter. Da baue ich lieber etwas und liefere damit ein Statement, über das in der Öffentlichkeit diskutiert werden kann. Was ich schade finde, ist, dass in Salzburg kaum jüngere engagierte Architekten nachkommen, zumindest merke ich nichts davon. Es wäre neue Energie notwendig. Jedes gute und interessante Projekt bringt uns weiter. FL Kann es sein, dass es für die jungen Architekten heute wirtschaftlich schwieriger geworden ist, als es noch zu Zeiten der beruflichen Anfänge unserer Generation war? TL Der Umfang an Aufgaben, den Architekten zu leisten haben, hat sich in den letzten Jahren extrem erweitert. Der künstlerisch–gestalterische Bereich ist auf ein Minimum reduziert worden bzw. wird von allen möglichen bürokratischen und gutachterlichen Agenden überlagert. Berufsanfängern fehlt die Erfahrung und auch die Ausbildung in diesem Bereich ist kaum vorhanden. Daher ist es besonders für die jungen Kolleginnen und Kollegen schwierig, aber es ist derzeit wirtschaftlich für die ganze Branche nicht ganz leicht! FL Warum kam es so rapid zu dieser Zurückdrängung der eigentlichen architektonischen Fragen zugunsten verschiedener normativ–technischer Fragen? TL Ich denke, die Eigenverantwortung jedes Handelnden ist zurückgegangen. Damit Entscheidungsträger sich absichern, verlangen sie geologische Gutachten, statische Nachweise, es müssen Energie-

ausweise berechnet werden und so weiter. Andererseits fransen die Ränder der Orte aus, es gibt keine Identität, man sieht wenig Qualität, statt dass man wieder auf das Schlichte zurückgeht, wird dekoriert und dazu gebaut. Die Gebäude bedrängen sich mit Ellbogentechnik. In Tourismusorten gibt es den Gedankenansatz, zu reduzieren und dafür mehr Qualität zu liefern, nicht. Es fehlen die Leitbilder. FL Wie könnte man gegensteuern? TL Wir haben uns in der Kollegenschaft lang gegen alle Reglementierungen gewehrt, aber wie man sieht, sind die Qualitätsauffassungen so unterschiedlich, dass man sich diese jetzt wieder wünscht, damit die Ortsbilder wieder einheitlicher werden. In Südtirol schafft man das besser. Dort hält man noch mehr an Dingen fest, die den Ort charakterisieren, ohne so dogmatisch zu sein wie zum Beispiel in Bayern. Mittlerweile schaue ich mir aber lieber einen bayerischen Ort an als einen bei uns. FL Was würdest du noch gerne bauen? TL Auf jeden Fall ein Kloster. Bei so einer Bauaufgabe geht es nicht darum, mit der Architektur einen Status zu erreichen oder sie als Imageträger zu verwenden, sondern sensibel unkonventionelle Raumsituationen zu schaffen und daran zu arbeiten, wie der Raum den Menschen formt. Generell würde ich gern etwas machen, was nicht alltäglich ist und wo die Architektur über das Funktionieren hinaus unterstützt. Auch ein Bordell wäre interessant. Ich wurde einmal in einem Interview darauf angesprochen. Bis dahin war das für mich kein Thema, aber es hat etwas für sich, weil das soziale Milieu so interessant ist und man sich wirklich einmal mit den Menschen auseinandersetzen muss. Diese Auseinandersetzung über die reine Funktion hinaus hat uns auch beim Peneder-Firmengebäude beschäftigt, wo auch die soziale Kompetenz der Mitarbeit ein Thema war. Das ist alles spannender, als irgendwann das 27. anonyme Bürogebäude zu planen.

Gusswerk Eventfabrik GmbH has made exemplary use of an industrial terrain on the northern outskirts of Salzburg. The client recognized the pronounced industrial character of the former Oberascher bell foundry and its impressive productions halls, which, however, are not protected monuments. The ensemble was further developed with an eye for sustainability and sophistication – with the exception of the unfortunate choice of the new roof cladding. The 2004 idea competition was the departure point for the overall urban plan by LP architektur and hobby a. The Salzburg-based architecture offices commissioned with the different tasks generated new qualities for public spaces and designed contemporary interventions that interact with the built substance and convey new identities. The industrial architecture forms the bridge between the refined, new and renovated buildings. In 2006 the planners complemented the existing buildings with two-storey loft offices toward the southwestern forest edge. Embedded terraces (open air offices) lend the 115-meter-long building volume a rhythmic structure along a street-like open space. Its extension with a new office tower accentuates the space to the southeast. The design advisory committee of the City of Salzburg motivated the client to increase the height of the foundry tower to eight storeys. The iconic façade further contributes to the emblematic character of the overall foundry terrain. Closed and open fields create a clear basic grid, which is then dissolved by hanging vertical sun screens and an arbitrary arrangement of cantilevered balconies and set-back loggias.

Following heated discussions, Tom Lechner’s Steinacher Residence was realized on the edge of Goldegg’s historic center between 2003 and 2005. The relatively small, eastward falling site of Theresia and Heinz Kaiser was no less central. The architect ideally situated the single-family house for the art and culture mediators and made space for a largest possible garden to the south. To the east a carport with an access stairway is cut into the slope. On the west side the ground level of the house opens up directly onto the landscape and offers a panoramic view. The distinctive timber construction of the living level perches on a massive plinth tucked into the slope. From the entrance area a stair with an integrated bookcase wall accesses the attractive living and bedroom level above. The ascending room height in the living and dining room creates an inviting atmosphere, which is enhanced by a south-facing loggia and a ground level terrace to the west. Even when the blinds are closed, light falls into the house through the loggia, and a row of skylights ensures optimal reading conditions on the sofa. This compact house accommodates a surprising amount of space.

On the family property the Peneder couple wanted to build a “timeless, modern building that radiates generosity and can flexibly meet the needs of its inhabitants”, not a self-referential design object but a “well-designed and thought out functional utility where signs of use are no secret”. Additionally, they desired a strong connection between the inside and outside and the usage of products from Christian Peneder’s metal processing company; Andrea Peneder also preferred a pitched roof. The Peneders consulted another architect for a proposal as well but recognized the special qualities of the concept by Lechner. An optimal solution, over and above the requirements, evolved for the hillside site declining to the southeast. On the one hand, the design draws from the orientation of the neighboring building, generating sufficient room for two outdoor parking spaces. On the other hand, the distance on the east side could be maximized. A steelwork cuboid accommodates the garage on ground level and interlocks with a volume clad in glass fiber reinforced concrete panels, forming a coherent ensemble. More than just the required program fits under the pitched roof: A generous, highly articulated – also vertically – spatial continuum along the entrance area, with an open kitchen, dining and living zones, forms the attractive heart of the house. Steps and a parapet-high fireplace element give spatial structure to the rooms. A protected terrace projects out to the south, offering fantastic views over the landscape, while the parapet shields the narrow terrace from unwanted views.

Jochberg is not far away from Kitzbühel: The farmer who sold the client the property, located approximately 200 meters south of his farmstead, desired an unobtrusive counterpart. He should be satisfied in many ways – after all, the end result is quite unspectacular in the best sense of the word. The new building plays off the orientation of the roof ridges of the neighboring buildings with only its slender gable end facing the farmstead. A fitness area is situated in the largely underground plinth and is lit by a strip of windows. Upon this slightly elevated platform develops a compact two-storey timber construction – albeit with a relatively large spatial program – which blends smoothly into the edge of the small forest with its larch shingle façades. The garage is situated to the northwest on the access road, creating a small courtyard that frees the house from the neighbors. Incisions in the compact volume on the ground floor form protected terraces. The interior is marked by its white walls. The dining area has high headspace and offers exceptional views over the landscape through the two-storey window front on the east. On the upper floor a gallery accesses the main bedroom. An undisturbed, stunning view to the south opens up from the enclosed loggia, which is not in sight of the nearby neighbors. Tom Lechner wanted to interpret the vernacular qualities of old farmhouses in a new, contemporary formal language as opposed to being too neighborly with apparently traditional buildings. And his approach was a success.

Bergheim Youth Hostel is located on the western edge of the tourism town Obertauern (Pongau) at 1 650 meters above sea level. A modernization and restructuring of the building was long overdue. In 2008 the Archdiocese of Salzburg tendered an idea competition for its renovation and extension. Steep half-hipped roofs pierced by dormers give the existing three-part building its general form, which has grown over the decades without an overall concept. Two main aspects of the restructuring plan were to relocate the main entrance to the middle of the courtyard and to create a new connection core with a direct interface to a three-storey extension along the street. This extension accommodates 20 double rooms on the two upper floors and a sport room on the ground floor. The long horizontal building volume has a functional relationship with the neighboring sport field, which it shields from the main street. This tract carries on the orthogonality of the complex as a fourth element and establishes a connection with the existing roof landscape with its asymmetric pitched roof. The new overall character of the four buildings is calmer and better balanced in comparison to the current situation. Tauernhotel Wisenegg on the other side of the street – mentioned already in 1130 as the Tauern Hospice – forms the historical nucleus of the greater ensemble. The fivestorey, tower-like new building, which serves as the personnel room of both houses, mediates architectonically between the buildings, defines the inner courtyard of the “Bergheim”, and forms a landmark at the entry to the village of Obertauern. New building and extension – conceived in part as timber constructions – are accentuated by precise window openings. The Archdiocese did not award a prize and informed the competition participants that none of the proposals, not even slimmed down variants, are financially feasible. A modest renovation took place instead.

The site is located in Ramsau in the Vorberg district, just above the town of Schladming in the Dachstein Mountain area. Surrounded by fields to the south, it slopes gently to the southeast and offers a wide variety of views to the Enns Valley and the Tauern Mountains. A maximum floor-space index of 0.4 was permitted and a pitched EG 1zu400 roof was mandatory. The desired extensive spatial program is arranged in a main building volume for living, working, and sleeping and in an adjacent docked-on one-storey volume for wellness. The L-shaped ensemble opens up to the mountain panorama to the south. The split-level concept was ideal in creating a relationship between the house and the gentle slope. In this way one can already see the two-storey air space above the dining area from the entrance and cloakroom. A stairway leads to it and the adjacent cooking area. On one side of the fireplace is an inviting window sill with a panoramic view; on the other side – three steps down and with a clear spatial separation – is the living area. The terrace, which has the same height difference as well, provides a protected and roofed sitting area on the lower level. The wellness area is situated a half storey below the living area and is dominated by a 14-meter-long indoor pool. The water surface runs along the glazed façade on the garden level, offering sensational views while swimming. The clients wanted a house that despite its linearity and functionality also radiates warmth and coziness, fits in with the landscape, and incorporates the surrounding panorama. With this contemporary, larch-shingled building, that is exactly what they got.

The rapidly growing, internationally active Alpine Railway Construction company concentrated various business locations in their new headquarters in Traun near Linz at the former unattractive storage yard. The building is a sharp-edged cubic volume, a resolute manifestation enmeshed in a heterogeneous surrounding of silo buildings and single-family homes. The black sheet metal façade conjures associations with the often-oxidized railway sleepers. An entrance ramp with an inviting canopy roof runs along the concise window front to a generous entrance and stairway hall. The smoked oak stair element connects the three floors and forms a pleasant, warm counterpoint to the exposed concrete walls and ceilings. On each floor of the asymmetrical building, glass partition walls connect the gallery to the southwest-oriented office areas, including the director’s office with a meeting room and numerous group offices. The well-lit workplaces open out onto timber-clad loggias, which are cut into the building shell along its entire length. This attractive extension of the interior space to the outside assumes the function of constructional sun protection and also contributes to a pleasant work atmosphere. The wooden deck notched into the western corner of the building also enhances this high spatial quality. The architectural strategy to open out to the southwest guarantees high-grade workplaces and common areas for all employees of the company.

In this spacious new building in the small community of Atzbach the successful Upper Austrian family business could integrate their satellite locations into the traditional company headquarters. On the site where a blacksmith and coachery opened in 1922, the Peneder family had already erected an architecturally noteworthy manufacturing facility in 2000/2001 (architect: Andreas Ortner). To the east of the existing halls Tom Lechner created an orderly conclusion of the urban structure of the 250-employee ensemble with the Peneder Basis office building. A part of the new administration tract is elevated to enable the parking garage below to be naturally lit and ventilated from the side. The complex opens to the neighboring district of Ritzling with an incredibly generous foyer and glass façade. This hall is navigated vertically with a glazed elevator and two flights of stairs that also function as emergency stairwells. The multifunctional assembly hall is publicly accessible as are the acclaimed restaurant, the cafeteria, and a small hotel in the southern part of the building. Lechner integrated the child supervision and education areas around the atriums in the south. A relaxation room is open to employees at all times and offers spectacular views over the impressive landscape. External and internal communication are inherent characteristics of the company and the architecture. Transparent meeting rooms mediate between the foyer hall and the three pectinate office tracts for the company departments Construction, Fire Protection, and Steel. The offices in each tract, in turn, are organized along a lavish central communication zone. The two arrows of the Peneder logo are stamped a thousandfold into the “Stainless Steel Curtain”. This shell of folded sheet steel with the discrete, abstracted reference to the company connects the outside with the inside and breaks up the massive building volume of the company headquarters.

In the last years the architectural ambitions of the Archdiocese of Salzburg building authorities have increased notably. One example is the invited competition for a new spiritual center in Embach, a small community located high up above the Salzach Valley. Tom Lechner won the competition. An approximately 200-year-old, monumentprotected stable in wood log construction with an upper floor needed to accommodate a multifunctional room and a prayer and meditation room. The character of the former stable should be preserved as much as possible, and the new functions should only involve minimal changes. The conversion can hardly be seen from the outside. The main intervention is the horizontal window in the plinth, which creates a special light ambience in the meditation room implanted in the ground floor. Beaten cobwork walls and the bright spruce floor and walls lend the space an introverted atmosphere. Also the inner skin of the multifunctional room above is clad with this light wood. The large spatial requirement displaced the original wood log structure considerably. The space, however, participates in the access area through a large glass wall. As this stairway is not thermally insulated its unaltered log walls remain visible. In this way a coherent interplay is created between the haptic qualities of the original log construction and the new black sheet metal stair element. The space retains its characteristic natural lighting and attains special connections to the outside through the thin slits.

The Kramer Family’s request for a contemporary passive house was fulfilled. However, the clients’ guideline for a timber construction that doesn’t make use of the material on the façade could be modified by the architect: Initial plans for a shed-like façade material (Eternit panels, metal, etc.) were discarded in favor of a horizontally structured burnt larch façade. This helped to clearly articulate the concept of inserting an elongated built volume into the natural landscape – a hill sloping to the south. The mountain torrent barrier regulations obscure this ambition; they resulted in lifting the building out of the landscape by approximately one meter. This also explains the concrete protection walls under the cantilevered building volume, which also accommodate two parking spaces and the house entrance. From here a staircase leads up into the living storey and to the dining and kitchen area, the most public part of the house. This space is extended through room-height sliding doors to the roofed south terrace with an unrestricted panoramic view over the surrounding mountains. The higher situated living areas follow the natural topography in zoned plateaus. The living room and the gallery-like work area are each complemented with terraces to the west. The children’s room and the master bedroom for the parents also have direct access to the garden on the east side of the house. This house on the western edge of Radstadt doesn’t compromise the view or sunlight of its neighbors to the north in any way and represents an exemplary typological solution for similarly structured residential areas.

Franz Peneder bought a decades-old house on a remarkably beautiful western slope in the lakeland region of Upper Austria. The building substance was bad; years of water undermining had caused numerous cracks. Tom Lechner was contacted as he had caught the attention of the Peneder steel construction company managing director during his ski holidays in the Pongau region. The damage analysis and design process resulted in an intelligent integration of approximately a quarter of the existing building, which can be best seen in the swiveled position of the wellness area. A long concrete volume cantilevers over the old plinth. Beginning with the upper structure on the street side – where the meditation room offers a panoramic view – the building steps down the slope. The undermost volume is carefully embedded into the topography. Lower than the original house, it is articulated with precise openings and tumbled concrete surfaces. At the same time, the windows and protected terraces open up astounding views to the mountain landscape, in the west even to Lake Attersee. The design convincingly combines openness with reticence by means of differentiated structural layers. From the street a single-flight staircase leads down to the enclosed inner courtyard with the main entrance. The kitchen is oriented toward this attractive atrium, which also offers a spot in the morning sun. The spatial structure of the living area follows the landscape, unfolding from the dining room to a free-standing bar element and a sitting area. Directly northwest is the adjacent sleeping area. The outer appearance is characterized by the tumbled concrete and the timber as a second layer or cladding; rough sawn silver fir elements are inscribed into the austere main structure. The surface textures are more refined in the interior. Walls of exposed concrete and bandsawn silver fir, the oak floor, and the subtle structure of the acoustic ceiling create a comfortable living atmosphere.

St. Leonhard Primary School is located in a Gründerzeit district in the southwest of the city of St. Gallen, Switzerland. The school typology – frequently employed in the late nineteenth century – has a strict axisymmetrical structure with separate zones for girls and boys. The new gymnasium from 1962 is also situated on this main axis, which resulted in a division of the schoolyard. This was the departure point for the spatial plan: The gymnasium is removed and redesigned completely underground, which frees up the backside of the historic building and resolves the division of the outdoor areas. The gymnasium’s underground foyer forms a connection to the new building, which accommodates the additional spatial program. With identical height and orientation, this four-storey structure is the new “opposite” of the existing monument-protected ensemble and forms – shifted

to the eastern edge of the site – the missing counterpart for the corner building on Kesslerstraße. Its yellow brick façade references the historic school building and its neighborhood. In this way the outdoor area is maximized. The tree population is protected, creating a natural frame for the schoolyard. The grid of walkable skylights above the underground gymnasium informs the basic structure of the entire yard. Varied relaxation and recreational zones were developed in cooperation with 3:0 Landscape Architects. The architecture office Marco Merz and Marion Clauss from Basel won the “open project competition” with 74 participants: According to the jury, “the position of the prominent building to the city” as “a carefully proportioned, confident urban structure” on the street-side edge of the schoolyard emphasizes “the urban character of the site better than pavilions or recessed volumes”.

The site on the edge of the town Radstadt is located directly next to the flood plain of the Enns River. The architect employed the prescribed landfill regulations to a height of approximately one-and-a-half meters for the installation of geothermal collectors. A central staircase accesses the two building volumes for living and working respectively. Walls, ceilings, and roof – made primarily of prefabricated plywood – are used to create a spatial flow that facilitates generous (maneuvering) rooms. The entrance area is followed by a spacious kitchen, dining, and living area with a southwestern orientation to the surrounding landscape. An open staircase leads to the upper floor and the inviting recreation room with a cozy sheepskin rug. Separated by sliding doors, it opens up into two sleeping areas with built-in furniture. Nina Trattner and Gerhard Scharfetter contributed almost a fifth of the construction work themselves. With the natural finishing of the timber construction and the treatment of all (built-in) furniture with beeswax, orange oil, and white pigment, they attained a calm atmosphere and a distance from country style. However, a traditional method was employed for the façade’s rough sawn larch planks. Treatment with black tea, vinegar, steel wool, linseed oil - stand oil, and orange oil resulted in the chatoyant dark brown to black gloss. The dialogue and collaboration with the clients in Radstadt were exceptionally trustful and inspiring. Everyone was ready to critically question existing norms. In this way spatial generosity could be paired with sensible reduction. The clients took on the sophisticated yet biologically harmless surface treatment, which gives the rooms their airy homogeneity. An attractive, cost-efficient timber ensemble with passive house standards could find its realization.

The new seat of the Franciscan generalate was built in 2012/2013 according to the plans of Heinz Tesar on the edge of the municipality of Oberalm in the Salzburg region Tennengau. In contrast to Tesar’s solitary building volume, LP architektur proposed an ensemble: The design – volumes grouped around an inner courtyard with an arcade connection to the existing building – was awarded second prize in the 2010 competition. The new building was to be situated to the north of the seniors residence Schloss Kahlsperg. The premises, which is also run by the Hallein School Sisters, has undergone quite uninspired extensions since the 1950s, whereas the surrounding park remains impressive to this day. The architects placed the ensemble to the north of the valuable tree population. Austere perforated façades and the clear cubic building volumes define the outer appearance of the rectangular overall form; the walls to the inner courtyard are homogenously clad with Adnet marble. “Place, path, and border” – these are the recurring motifs in the design, a trinity that provides the context with the castle, seniors residence, and the connection tract. The arcade is open to the west and mediates the existing structures with the spatial sequence portal-foyer-enclosed garden in the new building. Four spatially differentiated quadrants structure the ensemble. The multi-purpose room and the order’s office are located in the southern blocks. These two public zones are adjacent to more calm and private areas in the northern part: the decidedly introverted prayer room, the refectory, and the foyer to the enclosure. The latter leads to the 18 living groups in the upper storeys of the cube, the boldest element of the ensemble.

The realization of the modern single-family house for Sylvia and Eugen Fischbacher in 2006 also spurred the architectural ambitions for Hotel Alpenhof, run by the second generation hoteliers. The extension of the existing dining room – now a bright room marked by oak wood – created an opportunity to restructure the ground floor zone on the street front with a pronounced joint pattern of natural stone and wood. The pitched roof hotel has grown since 1964 to its current dimensions, which seem to smother the old building attached to the north. Hence, the calm intervention is embedded underneath its eave to emphasize the center. With floors, walls, and ceiling in blue-gray gneiss the new entrance obtains an equally representative and protected, spatially defined front zone in the streetscape. The strategy to enhance the street-facing plinth and to direct the focus there as opposed to the hotel agglomeration above it was already successful in 2008 with the 70-meter-long front zone of the Tauernhof Hotel – which is only 200 meters away. The majority of the rooms and suites were renovated to meet contemporary standards, glass walls separate the bathrooms. Ceilings and walls, also in the bathrooms, are lined with silver fir, blending in homogenously with the furniture. Calm yet sophisticated, the rooms offer the highest level of homelike coziness. By converting a part of the east wing, the wellness zone could be extended and attained a spacious, open atmosphere. Blue-gray mica slate is predominant in the likewise reduced material palette. The hot water pool forms the center of the sauna area. This place of tranquility in an abstract cavernous landscape is surrounded by the sauna cabin, showers, and steam bath in the form of sculptural, minimalist room furniture. From the pool and other places a fully glazed front frames views to the green outside.

The site is both centrally located in the market town and peacefully situated in the green at the end of a dead end street at the foot of Schlatterberg Mountain. Parcel configuration and economic land use compromised the plan to give all units a south-facing façade. Studies led to the central position of the stairwell – with its skylight a friendly, bright, and communicative space that forms the core of the building. Each of the eleven apartments on the ground floor and the two upper floors obtained a free zone, sunny and protected from the view of neighbors as much as possible. It forms an extension of the spacious living, dining, and kitchen area, which all of the ten four-room units and the one three-room unit possess. The original concept for a continuous strip of windows was modified, however the strong horizontal articulation remains in the form of interchanging wood and window elements. Projections and recesses in combination with balconies and loggias augment the building volume. The sand colored parapet lines – with a broom stroke finishing to lend the plaster a haptic quality – give the complex a dominant horizontal appearance and create a rhythmic whole.

The new building in St. Johann im Pongau houses the provincial office of Maschinenring Salzburg. Managing director Rudolf Huber asked for a timber construction with high energy efficiency and concrete core thermal activation. With the participation of the engaged client, the architect could successfully realize all planning details down to the design of the furniture. The massive wood construction is statically and structurally optimized. The 28 heterarchical one and two-person offices stipulated in the spatial program were all similarly designed as 20-square-meter standard units, which extend out onto balconies through a room-height window front. Sound-absorbing loden canvases and linoleum desk surfaces – intentionally designed as a dark contrast – enhance the pleasant working atmosphere. The addition and stacking of equal office units across all three storeys result in a harmoniously proportioned building volume structured by balcony zones. At the heart of the floo plan is the functional core. With the concrete core thermal activation it serves the double role of structural reinforcement while collecting energy from the solar thermal installation on the flat roof. A one-storey annex accompanies the garage ramp along the neighboring lot and spatially frames the entry zone of the main building. The projecting plinth in front of the office creates a forecourt with a fountain and a recessed, roofed entrance area. In this ample foyer the haptic quality of the seemingly monolithic, chiseled concrete core coalesces with the calm and cultivated aura of the silver fir, which gives the timber structure a refined outer surface: the outdoor cladding is rough sawn and untreated, inside is sanded, and for the furniture it is also oiled.

In a moderated procedure with the client, city planning officials, and the Salzburg Advisory Committee for Architecture, the four Salzburg-based architecture offices – who have been adapting and extending the bell foundry since 2004 – developed another expansion scenario for the location with approximately 13 000 square meters of surface area for showrooms, studios, offices, and storage spaces. The cluster concept by LP architektur prevailed against the architectural strategies of hobby a., CSarchitektur, and Strobl Architekten. The project was then collectively elaborated on the basis of this master plan. A clear urban accent on Söllheimerstraße docks onto the existing built fabric and its scale, transforming the familiar “street and houses” principle in the third dimension. The urban ensemble connects two elevations informed by the landscape, stacking up to a five-storey volume on the northeastern corner of the site. On a shared massive concrete base sit six cubes, which are connected via communicative openings: The units can be accessed by ramps, streets, stairs, and squares, thereby multiplying the ground floor surfaces so highly sought after by renters. The austere industrial character of the neighboring bell foundry in its day and age was to be reflected in the new buildings. However, the perfection-oriented building enterprise had its difficulties with the “natural” treatment of the concrete. Targeted openings in the shops accentuate the inner spaces, which are offered to users as high-grade shell constructions. In the night the room-height, translucent polycarbonate glazing gives the ensemble a special charm.

The departure point for the project was a commercial building complex from 1978 on the outskirts of the market town of Pingau. Step by step, Walter Meiberger had adapted, extended, and thermally refurbished the building with prefabricated wood frame elements. For the task of tripling the office space and accommodating five apartments the engaged businessman organized a small architectural competition – Tom Lechner’s concept won him over. A rhythmically-structured, semi-transparent shell of solid wood fins envelopes the residential and office functions, creating a loggia interface to the alpine surroundings and a calm overall form for the building. The distance between the untreated larch fins varies depending on the given function behind: for example, they are denser in front of bedrooms than in front of living rooms. The access area to the commercial premises in the thermally refurbished building was also enhanced. The existing MPREIS supermarket on the ground floor gained a fresh look with a new entrance integrated into a distinctive concrete structure. A “Baguette” shop built into the redesigned entrance area offers fresh dishes and bread. In the apartments and new offices the use of silver fir gives the spaces a light, airy atmosphere. With its sophisticated architectural design, the in part two-storey office extension provides high-grade working spaces. Three materials were employed to create fine, differentiated surfaces: Rough bandsawn silver fir clads the walls and ceilings; the same wood is brushed for furnishing elements. The floors are made of massive, brushed white-oiled oak, and brown loden was used in the lounge, work, and cloakroom areas. Complementing Clemens Holzmeister’s hall extension to the Bräu Hotel from 1928/1929, the town of Lofer now possesses another striking example of a creative approach to vernacular building traditions and materials.

The road maintenance department of the Flachgau region obtained a new headquarters to the northwest of the town center of Seekirchen am Wallersee. LP architektur’s coherent concept won the 2010 competition tendered by the Province of Salzburg among distinguished Austrian architectural firms. A two-storey stacked volume was used on the sloped terrain to accommodate the stipulated 22 garages. In this way the open space was maximized despite the limited plot size and complemented with the design of a spacious, well-proportioned, and functional courtyard at the center. The forest to the north of the site is incorporated into the central free space. The U-shaped building ensemble follows the building site limits with different elevations, creates an acoustic barrier to the rural highway, and facilitates weather-protected movement throughout the complex. A solitary salt hall with a pitched roof communicates with the neighboring buildings. A range of different spaces is integrated behind the reposed overall appearance of the building. Rough sawn spruce with a natural finish is mounted vertically and creates a uniform building shell. The courtyard is introverted. In contrast, the two-storey communal area in the administration tower, in particular, which was realized above and beyond the required spatial program, provides views to the landscape. This prominent vertical element plays an important role in the analogy to a fort. The administration tower is a timber construction made out of prefabricated plywood boards. The deliberate visible structure of the boards on the fronts, the exposed concrete walls with massive wood ceilings, and the visible building technology installations give the tower its character. In addition to controlled ventilation and concrete core thermal activation, the passive house standard also led to problematic consequences for the appearance of the building; the solar collectors, for instance, disturb the roof landscape. Hence, it would have been all the more important that the construction management team demanded a more consequent implementation of the finishing details the architects formulated.

youth hotel located in the east of the town Wagrain in the Pongau region was newly structured: The hotelier family Emberger can now offer its guests a modern, spacious sports hall, an additional 24 attractive rooms, and a new dining room in the ground floor extension of the building. A two-storey tract with the new rooms was positioned in relation to the existing guest houses in the south to create a protected, roofed courtyard and entrance situation. The sports hall in the plinth of the extension receives natural light from the north and west. Its considerable volume is intelligently incorporated into the ensemble. The parents’ residence emerges from the northeastern corner of this plinth and establishes a dialogue with the neighboring buildings. This private home opens up to the south and to the existing fruit garden in the west. The architects also designed all furnishings, from the dining room tables dimensioned to the size of the food trays to the complete interiors of the rooms with up to six beds. On the top floor the guest room wing is equipped with communal kitchens and loggias that vary the building’s volume. The intention was to contrast the larch wood façade with walls of brown exposed concrete, but plaster façades were preferred to reduce costs. Due to the extremely tight time schedules and economic constraints in the tourism industry it was also not always possible to ensure a consistent quality in the detailing and workmanship. Despite the sacrifices made for necessary changes, the ensemble is still a significant contribution to building culture in Austrian tourism. It is steadily improving in the province of Salzburg, with LP architektur at the helm in the Pongau region.

The mayor of Wagrain complicated the realization of the house, recalls Doris Emberger: The “highest building authority” said to the family that he wouldn’t issue a permit for a “unique selling point”. In marketing and sales psychology this term refers to an exceptional in comparison to competitors. The house indeed forms ss EG 1zu250 Grundriss feature 1.OG 1zu250 a positive contrast to the more trivial buildings in the neighborhood. On the other hand, the house enjoys best company with the adjacent extension of the parish church: In 1996/1998 architect Gernot Kulterer used contemporary materials such as exposed concrete and cleverly embedded the new building volume into the Baroque ensemble’s roof landscape. And the Emberger single-family house is also more of a unique contribution to the center of town than a provocation. The retreating southwest corner of the timber volume lends the reduced pitched roof a special configuration and contributes to the slender appearance of the house. The one-storey step in the site topography is mirrored in the building with two reference levels. The terrace roof and the carport are subtly connected to the main building as two independent concrete elements. The shell of the timber construction is clad with larch, and the interiors are generally characterized by the bright effect of the silver fir panels. Above the single-room concept on the ground floor with an integrated kitchen unit is a master bedroom for the parents. The spatial intersections under the roof create play areas for the children that correspond to their scale. An autonomous living unit in the basement oriented to the northwest offers flexibility for the development of the family of four.

In place of a modest masonry house with a neighboring stable evolved a small, freely grouped “hamlet” consisting of two residential buildings and a small storage shed. The original ensemble on the forest edge radiated an organically developed and relaxed atmosphere. Inspired by the “genius loci”, the architect reinterpreted the traditional rural timber buildings: For instance, the optical transparency in the vertical cladding of farm buildings is employed in the design of the front façade with the entrance area behind it. Several bench elements are integrated in and between the houses. Tom Lechner sees contemporary interpretations of historical precedents “not only as an aspiration but the only right answer for the development of such projects in rural areas” – in this case for the second residence of a musician and his large family. The garage door is flush with the façade and barely perceivable. The car disappears in all of its environmental detriments. As a counterpart to the client’s city life, “a place of retreat and rural identity” should be created where “one is happy to arrive, relaxes, and departs recharged with energy”. The archetypal main house and the neighboring guest house afford this atmosphere. Inside, rough sawn silver fir and simple screed floors bind subtle haptics with spatial coherence. Precisely placed openings offer inviting views down the slope or wide out over the hilly landscape. Optimal usage of the hillside location and the roof pitches (bedroom, guest apartment) lends the compact building volumes spatial diversity and generosity. The attractive entrance zone also accommodates a workspace and a small bridge.

The new building in Kuchl, a town in the Tennengau region of Salzburg, accommodates a pharmacy and offices for the municipal authorities on the ground floor and the two storeys above. There are also four apartments situated in the uppermost storey. The Raiffeisen Bank, the second client along with the municipality, did not want a timber construction on the ground floor. In the competition-winning project LP architektur designed this plinth level as a resolute glass and reinforced concrete structure with three upper storeys built in wood. This wood structure could not remain visible and was clad with facing wood panels, inside silver fir with a natural finish and outside rough sawn silver fir with a white glaze. The requirements (sound proofing, fire protection, ductwork) for all of the building components were too varied and complex – in contrast to the Maschinenring project in St. Johann im Pongau. Whereas the Maschinenring building exemplifies a material-saving optimized timber construction through the addition of same-sized office units, in Kuchl the advantages of composite constructions were exploited (for example, thin steel beams were used in the municipal assembly hall in place of laminated beams, which are visually too high). The white glaze protects the wood cladding and gives the “new center of the wood town Kuchl” its identity. The building presents a four-storey front to the regional highway with the distinctive window elements of the assembly hall; its two-storey component mediates the neighboring buildings. On the forecourt to the southwest an entrance with maximum transparency invites visitors into the two-storey foyer of the municipality. This central reception and information point is the interface to the public service and registry offices on the ground floor. On the first floor the loggia between the offices of the mayor and building inspector are publicly accessible. The flexibly configurable assembly hall on the third floor has a spacious terrace to the south with a view to the Hoher Göll Mountain.
