Ein neues Rathaus für Hainburg.

A new town hall for Hainburg The new town hall building in Hainburg unites the administrations of Hainstadt and Klein‐Krotzenburg town halls under one roof. The building does not look like a classic administrative building in its design language. The generous recessing of the ground floor over a corner and the building‐high atrium behind it make the structure look more like a light, inviting pavilion with a welcoming atmosphere. The building was constructed in timber, which is not only part of the structure but also a design element in the interior. Only the ground floor and the stiffening core were built in solid construction. The town hall's energy concept uses sustainable materials and fulfils the most modern requirements. A photovoltaic system on the roof completely covers the power supply for the entire building and the operation of the air/water heat pumps for the underfloor heating. The vertically structured façade was clad in bronzed metal sheets. The daylight falling on it enhances the impression of a building of high architectural quality. This article describes the project's planning constraints and the attempt to consistently realise the architectural idea in the supporting structure. It also focuses on analysing the calculated CO2 equivalent using the slab above the first floor as an example. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
