Völs Town Hall

Dorfstraße 35, 6176 Völs, A
Architecture: Peter Pozzo, Anton Widauer (2004-2006) Builder-owner: Marktgemeinde Völs Open to the public: partially

In close vicinity to the existing town hall, a second, barrier-free administration building was erected for the community. The heterogeneous, rurally structured setting and the steeply rising slope of the Blasiusberg Mountain defined the scale, shape and materiality of the new structure. As if growing out of the slope, a corten-steel roof edges its way over the otherwise very transparently kept building.

Pfarrkirche St. Emmaus, Völs (St. Emmaus parish church)

6176 Völs, A
Architecture: Josef Lackner (1965-1967) Builder-owner: Diözese Innsbruck Artworks by Josef Mikl
More recent adjacent buildings, unfortunately, have had a negative effect on the way the building dialogues with the landscape.

The striking trench-shaped roof of the white building is not a mere theatrical gesture, it is meant to convey that this is a very special building. At the same time, it holds the wooden ceiling of the interior, thus creating a very introspective room for worshipping. The light strictly comes from above; this and the minimalistic choice of only two materials for the interior strongly underline the sacrality this space is meant to exude.
