architek[tour] tirol – guide to architecture in tyrol

The Rimml Areal stood empty for decades until it was purchased by the municipality of Oberhofen and revitalised as their new municipal office. In transforming the 400-year-old ensemble, the architects' premise was to combine the needs of the present with the history of the existing building. The inn, which is protected as a historic monument, was carefully restored and adapted, the pavilion and bowling alley renovated, and the former wooden barn reactivated as a cultural centre.

In the next few years, around 1,000 new apartments will be built on the Campagne site in the Reichenau district of Innsbruck. On the first of the four construction fields, Bogenfeld Architektur implemented a concept based on the main idea of an open-air living room. Between four buildings of different shapes, they create a sequence of alleys, squares and gardens that are intended to promote a lively coexistence.
