20 percent more hospital for Rohrbach.
The building extension and refurbishment was above all influenced by three factors: the isolated location from the town of Rohrbach, the wide vistas and quality typical to the landscape of north-western Austria, and the staff quarters situated north. With the attached F-shaped volume, the sloped, green expanse with a rectangular cutout now constitutes the new front of the building and signals affinity and close ties with the location. As the second element of identification, the lobby represents the new entrance on the outside and acts as an integrator on the inside.
