City Hotel Platzhirsch

Unterer Stadtpl. 19, Kufstein, A
Architecture: wiesflecker-architekten (2020-2022) Builder-owner: Kultur Quartier Kufstein Ges.m.b.H Open to the public: partially TIP: Enjoy the Viennese coffee house culture in the associated café "Platzhirsch".

After a change of ownership, a town house with its core dating back to the 15th century on Kufstein's town square was converted into a hotel with a restaurant, coffee house and its own roastery and extended by a new building on Marktgasse used as an office building. Through targeted contemporary interventions, the historical substance was further developed into a new unity in which the old and the new always remain recognisable.

Kufstein Fortress Visitor Centre

Festung 2, 6330 Kufstein, A
Architecture: Gerhard Mitterberger (2015-2016) Builder-owner: Top City Kufstein GmbH Open to the public: daily 11-16 h Accessibility: The main entrance to the fortress is directly in the town centre. TIP: Via the visitor centre you can also enter the former air-raid shelter tunnel system in the fortress hill.

With the Visitor Centre, one of the most visited sights in Tyrol has been given a prestigious entrée. Almost invisible from beyond the outer city wall, the new building pushes itself between the existing "Feuerwerkhaus" and the new fortress courtyard and closes the square. In keeping with the existing development of the fortress, the partly two-storey large space was given an outer façade and roof cladding of untreated larch wood.

Expansion and Renovation of the Kufstein BG and BRG

Schillerstraße 2, 6330 Kufstein, A
Architecture: Johannes Wiesflecker (2011-2013) Builder-owner: BIG In 2014 the School was awarded a "Distinction of the State of Tyrol for New Buildings”.

There are two conditions that make the annex building architectonically remarkable, regardless of its utilization: the functional involvement of Art in Construction (a powerful concrete relief by Karl-Heinz Klopf) in the architectonic concept and the creation of space through the static structure. A high, spacious hall, spatially structured on different levels by a huge exposed concrete truss, opens up in the basement between the old and new gymnasium.

Kufstein City Expansion

Unterer Stadtplatz 12-13, Fischergries 20-22, 6330 Kufstein, A
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.

Redevelopment of the City Hall/Bildsteinhaus Kufstein

Oberer Stadtplatz 17, 6330 Kufstein, A
Architecture: Rainer Köberl, Giner + Wucherer (2009-2011) Builder-owner: Kufstein Immobilien GmbH & Co KG Open to the public: partially

In the center of Kufstein, the City Hall and the neighboring "Bildsteinhaus” were transformed into a new, multi-functional unit for the city administration. The historic ensemble was interwoven with consciously placed interventions into a complex whole. The uncovered city wall builds the foundation; a white "crown” on the roof completes the ensemble.

The Tyrolean Economic Chamber, Kufstein District Office

Salurnerstraße 7, 6330 Kufstein, A
Architecture: FUCHSUNDPEER (2006-2007) Builder-owner: Wirtschaftskammer Tirol – Immobilien Open to the public: partially

As part of necessary redevelopment measures, the Economic Chamber - Kufstein District Office was restructured and raised in height. The ground floor was completely gutted and opened up to become a vestibule. A second storey was built on top, thus turning the building into a compact – above the ground floor – suspended and combined body.

Kufstein State Music School

Krankenhausgasse 16, 6330 Kufstein, A
Architecture: riccione architekten (2003-2004) Builder-owner: Stadtgemeinde Kufstein Open to the public: partially In 2004 the building was awarded a "Distinction of the State of Tyrol for New Buildings” .

On a street corner of a densely built town area next to, at present, two vacant sites, riccione architects have built a solitary building with the possibility of future extensions. Above the ground floor, in which, apart from a lowered music hall, the town archive and the town library are accommodated, are three optically detached upper storeys for the school’s classrooms. Generously sized glazing and powder coated aluminium panels influence the building, which despite its transparency and openness, complies with all acoustic requirements.

FH Kufstein – University of Applied Sciences

Andreas-Hofer-Straße 7, 6330 Kufstein, A
Architecture: Henke Schreieck Architekten (2000-2001) Builder-owner: FH- Errichtungs- und Betriebs GmbH. Open to the public: partially (Assembly Hall and Cafeteria)

A first impulse for the development of the inner city was the relocation of the university from the outskirts of town to the centre of Kufstein. Henke and Schreieck designed the "Möbel im Park” (furniture in the park), a cubic building with a glass outer surface structured with wooden slats. The energetic and innovative double layer façade with integrated room ventilation is a feast for the eyes of the studying (future) "Facility Managers”.

Kufstein Fortress - Josefsburg Adaptation

Oberer Stadtplatz 6, 6330 Kufstein, A
Architecture: Andreas Egger, Markus Scherer, Walter Angonese (1998-1999) Builder-owner: Top City Kufstein GmbH The extendable protective roof above the castle yard was developed by Kugel + Rein in 2006.

Kufstein Fortress, situated above the town, is one of Tyrol’s most impressive middle-age buildings. Extension work has been carried out on the fortress a number of times over the past few hundred years, among other things, the Josefsburg built by Gumpp, the Architect to the Imperial Court. In view of more intensive use for events, the castle was restored and adapted within the scope of a large cleaning up project. The historic structural fabric was secured and the necessary new infrastructure carefully altered.
