Initial Situation.

Bad Ischl, the banner town of the 2024 Capital of Culture, is one of the cultural centers of the Salzkammergut region with its long history and magnificent buildings. “Like in a fairy tale” is what you hear when the many tourists make a pilgrimage here to follow in the footsteps of the emperor and Sissi. Beyond the prosperity and the dreamlike beauty, people whose financial possibilities are severely limited also live here. On a housing estate in Roith, a district of Bad Ischl, such people live in a complex of buildings owned by the municipality. On closer inspection, this housing estate, which is in need of renovation and is wonderfully embedded in nature, is home to people who strongly identify with their space, help each other and design their living environment in a committed and loving manner.

In Roith, a new building should bring about social mixing and a new togetherness. A holistic design is to be created for the entire area, which also includes a municipal building yard and buildings belonging to a housing cooperative. What are the needs of the current residents? Which needs of potential financially stronger new tenants have to be taken into account? What does the new spatial and functional offer look like? Where and how does community happen – inside and outside? What concepts must be considered to ensure that new housing remains affordable? Can personal contribution play a role in this? For the municipality it is necessary to design a holistic proposal under the motto “mixture possible”, which leads to an upgrading of the district.
