Kufstein City Expansion
Architecture: Architekt Daniel Fügenschuh ZT GmbH (2010-2012) Builder-owner: Unterberger Immobilien GmbH, Hausverwaltung Johann Höger, Stadtwerke Kufstein Open to the public: partially (shopping mall) during shop opening hours The fountains on the square are supplied with the very water that was previously used to cool the shopping mall; the heights of the fountains consequently visualize the cooling requirements.
With the goal of revitalizing a hitherto deserted inner city district, two new buildings were erected on the area between Unterer Stadtplatz and "Fischergries” in place of the stock structures: on one hand, a shopping mall dotted with cafés and restaurants (KISS –Kufsteiner Innenstadt Shopping) and featuring office spaces and apartments on the upper stories; on the other hand, an L-shaped structure with apartments oriented towards the Inn and an event hall. A clearly defined market square, designed as a "shared space”, arose between the new buildings, the Bastion and the banks of the Inn.
