New headquarters in Vienna for the
Erste Bank Group.
The practice was shortlisted in an international competition
for the new 200,000 m² headquarters for the Erste Bank Group in Vienna, Austria.
Erste Bank’s programme was extensive; re-configurable office
space was required for 4,000 bank employees, all in close proximity to daylight, exterior views and opening windows, along with a conference centre and trading floor.
Our design articulates the mass of the building into three
connected parts, which relate in size to the neo-classical buildings in the surrounding city, shape the external public spaces of the scheme between them and provide smaller scale locations in the interiors with views in all directions. 0 20m
