austrian practice alleswirdgut has designed 'stadthaus-prototyp', english translation 'townhouse prototype', an office and
shopping building within a residential context in st. pölten, austria. bordered with streets lined with townhouses featuring
historical facades, this low-rise structure's staggered profile creates green spaces at diverse elevations to generate a dynamic
urban streetscape. the building's footprint responds to a bend in the main avenue, creating an additional usable plaza at
ground level.

the staggered floor plates are determined by the neighboring dwellings to minimize changes in their established natural
lighting conditions. the shelves that result are used as terraces, pulling internal activities to the outdoors projecting a lively
energy to the surrounding area. on open structural plan facilitates the neutral program allowing individual designs to contribute
their personal character to the urban context through the transparent facade with monochromatic structural elements.
