Outstanding construction projects in Lower Austria: Lower Austria Building Prize 2023

The Lower Austria Construction Award characterizes outstanding buildings in Lower Austria and offers an exciting insight into the latest trends and developments in construction. This year impressive projects were honored that have been realized in the past four years. Both developers, as well as planners and executing companies had the opportunity to submit their work, which led to a large number of over 100 projects submitted.

The jury under the chairmanship of state building director Walter Steinacker evaluated the submissions based on four decisive criteria: the quality of the manual and technical services, the contemporary planning, ecological sustainability and economic functionality. Steinacker commented that the quality of the submitted construction project was "outstanding", which did not make the decision for the awards easy.

Award winner of the Lower Austria Construction Prize

First place and thus the prize money of 10,500 euros went to the Wienerwaldgymnasium in Tullnerbach. This project, which offers space for 800 students, impresses with its innovative planning and harmonious embedding in nature. The jury emphasized that the architecture is technically realized at a high level and is considered an example of contemporary education. Planned by several renowned architects, the building was cleverly integrated into the slope to ensure optimal lighting conditions and sustainable use.

In the category of center development, the municipality of Markersdorf-Haindorf received second prize with 7,500 euros. The jury praised the creation of a harmonious community center, which is not only functional, but also offered the possibility for citizen participation in the planning phase. This shows how important it is to involve the community in such processes in order to find long -lasting and sensible solutions.

Third place and a prize money of 4,500 euros was awarded to the Mühlbach Ost residential area in St. Pölten. By combining living and communal areas, the project represents a successful example of how urban life can be creatively designed. With the skillful arrangement of gardens and atmospheric common areas, perfect prerequisites for a harmonious living together of the residents were created.

Another highlight of the evening was the special prize for the revitalization of the former synagogue in St. Pölten. This historical building, which was a center of Jewish life until the Nazi era during the Nazi era, was carefully restored and adapted to the use as an event room. The jury recognized the project as an impressive example of modern historical mediation and the resource -conscious use of historical buildings.

"These awards are proof of the innovative strength of the Lower Austrian construction industry," said the state guild master Günther Lehner at the award ceremony. In view of the current economic challenges, it is essential to keep the quality in construction up. Therefore, Lehner appealed to politics to return to targeted support from the general use of residential grants.

The award ceremony took place in the monastery and in Krems and offered a platform to celebrate the best buildings in the country and to emphasize the importance of high -quality construction for the community. The construction price not only sets standards, but also conveys the high level of Lower Austrian building monkey that relies on quality, sustainability and well thought -out design.
