In this year’s BA course Hochbau, our students tackled the exciting challenge of designing a future extension for the historic Tischlerei Fürst in Melk — already a vibrant venue for events, theater, coworking, and overnight stays.

Based on a study by an architectural office, the students developed bold and creative concepts for how this unique site could evolve sustainably while honoring its heritage.

We wrapped up the semester with a prize ceremony and a small celebration — thank you to all students for the great atmosphere and inspiring discussions!

A special thanks to Lukas Fürst for giving us the opportunity to work on this real-world project and for the insightful tour of the site.

Congratulations to this year’s winning team:
Leonie Rabofsky, Marlies Mühlbauer, Irina Fürst – fantastic work!
