Lichtblau Florian, Lichtblau Architects BDA

Competition in 1994: Complex task — parish centre in the heterogenous outskirts of a town. Building design defined in dialogue with the Alpine backdrop.

Planning from 1998: Without access barriers, located in a predominantly natural setting, modular, flexible, pre-fabricated in wood and glass. Immediacy of the structure, materials, artistic design.

Energy, ecology: "Passive" efficiency due to the optimised envelope (heating balance, daylight, airtightness). "Active" technology solely with regenerative energy sources (ground heat source/sink, sunlight, biomass).

Synergetic balance: Maximal comfort for minimal energy (2/3 from environment, 1/3 from wood). Solid wooden construction + regenerative energy = positive CO2 balance for standard costs!
