Residential Tower of the Year

Bruckner Tower & Anton Bruckner International School, Linz (AT)

• Architecture & Planning

AllesWirdGut recently completed the Bruckner Tower in Linz in a joint venture with Hertl.Architekten.With its striking silhouette and dynamically structured facade, the high-rise forms a new urban landmark in the Linz skyline. The two-storey base ensures that the building mass "lands gently on the ground", provides orientation and radiates urbanity.

The clearly legible form of the tower strengthens the new urban landscape to the east of the Lentia complex as a landmark. Buckled facades react to the urban situation and give the high-rise building a slender appearance with a changing appearance and high potential for identifcation.

The diverse orientation of the facades offers optimal lighting conditions and spectacular views. The conciseness of the form is further enhanced by surrounding balconies, which, running from bottom to top, dissolve from massive concrete parapets to optically lighter glass parapets, lending the building a subtle sophistication.

The new urban building block offers a lively and dense range of housing, work and education. This includes the Anton Bruckner International School with a kindergarten and more than 350 apartments.

The embedding in the park, a protected, green schoolyard, the surrounding balconies and a roof garden for the residents underline the high quality of the building.

Inside, attention was paid to a high quality of living and life as well as a clear structure. High-quality and fexible rooms can take on several functions and enable diverse forms of living together in more than 350 apartments.

Additional community rooms, which motivate the togetherness of all residents and increase the quality of stay, bring daylight into the building and create identity and orientation through visual relationships to the outside.
