Headquarters for a Technology Leader
Schrack Technik
Our entry to the invited architectural competition convinced the jury thanks to its maximum flexibility: A highly-functional grid enables the building to adapt to the individual requirements and later needs of users and to “grow together with the company.”
By building a new headquarters in Vienna-Liesing, Schrack Technik GmbH, a leading technology provider that specializes in products and solutions in the area of energy and data distribution, is preparing for future growth. The modern, ecologically designed office building is home to the company’s central departments and to its Vienna, Lower Austria, and Burgenland subsidiary.
The office building of the future requires spatial structures that can adapt to new and changing needs at any time. Maximum functionality and high-quality sustainability measures also ensure that the building will have a long life.

In an integrated design process, the architects and engineers of ATP Vienna developed a highly functional building, whose rigorous architectural grid ensures that it can be flexibly adapted in line with changing needs. For example, the office areas can be subsequently enlarged at any time. This guarantees that the site can be optimally used without the need to concrete over any more green space. The facade and internal finishes are modular. This facilitates both flexible adaptation and the simple dismantling and reuse of the components of the building at the end of its life.
As in all projects, ATP is working with ATP sustain to optimize the use of environmentally-friendly resources and energy-efficient building technology in the spirit of the ATP Green Deal. The building is heated and cooled via a large field of geothermal probes. A PV plant on the roof of the complex supplies the headquarters with green electricity. The comprehensive planting concept in the open areas and on the roof minimizes the heat island effect and sustainably improves the microclimate across the site.
