Turm 2 ÖGK Salzburg

Due to a lack of space in the existing ÖGK headquarters at Salzburg Central Station, the Board of Directors decided to expand the area of the dental outpatient clinic and the administration on the adjacent property of the Post AG. For static as well as technical reasons, it was decided to build over the underground parking ramps of the shopping center and the residential building, which would allow synergy effects to be exploited and prevent further soil sealing.

Both the underground car park entrance/exit including parking facilities can be used. Access is via bridges from the existing building on the 2nd floor dental health center and on the 5th floor skywalk level. In terms of urban planning, the project is positioned next to the existing high-rise building and the 6-storey block as a 9-storey high point which, due to the difficult ground conditions and the non-load-bearing capacity of the existing ramp structure, can only be implemented in lightweight construction from a structural point of view and is therefore being built as a timber hybrid high-rise building with a height of approx. 37 meters.

For reasons of structural physics, one third of the building envelope is a closed element with floor-to-ceiling glazing in the form of a wooden panel. Since the client does not plan any customer traffic in the new building, the accesses and connections are simply functional. The lower floors are allocated to the dental outpatient clinic, which are at the same height as in the existing building, and the last 4 floors are additional administrative areas.

A special design feature is the middle floor, which stands out from the outside with its yellow soffit and supports and offers an attractive, all-round balcony-loggia zone for the seminar and conference area. Another eye-catcher is the "skywalk", which is clad with sheet metal slats similar to the bellows of an accordion.
