Komptech builds new headquarters in Frohnleiten
In February 2024, we are starting the construction of our new building to expand our existing site in Kühau, Frohnleiten. As a “place for opportunities”, the new office building will create a professional working atmosphere in line with the latest and highest standards.
The official kick-off has been given for the comprehensive expansion of the existing Komptech GmbH site in Kühau in Frohnleiten. This includes the construction of a new office building with a total area of 3,000 square metres, parking spaces including e-charging stations, a large bicycle parking area with a flying roof, the design of the outdoor area and the revision of the access and exit to the municipal road.
Highest office standards
As a “Place for Opportunities”, the new building creates a professional working atmosphere in line with the latest and highest standards. It was designed by Atelier Thomas Pucher from Graz, which was the winner of an architectural competition. The main feature was that the office space develops along an atrium. M.O.O.CON supported Komptech as a strategy consultant for the new building. The planning for the new office building was carried out in a participatory manner with a separate user group.
The low-energy building is being constructed using reinforced concrete and has ÖGNI Gold and Klimaaktiv Gold certification. A special feature is the near-surface component activation and the specially developed aluminium racking façade. In terms of building services, the heat supply is realised through a combination of a local heating connection and an air heat pump system, with heat being emitted through component activation. Cooling is also supplied by an air heat pump, and here too, cooling is achieved through component activation. A PV system with an output of 140 KWp, which includes both horizontal and vertical elements, is used to generate energy. A building management system is used to control and monitor the building technology. The car parks on the site will be adapted and the existing asphalt of the logistics area will be renewed and resurfaced in places. The expansion of the company premises extends from the current company site to the west.
Green outdoor area
Not only sustainable construction is of great importance to Komptech, but also the appropriate greening of the outdoor area. The architectural design of the new headquarters is intended to blend in with the surrounding wooded landscape and create a green and cosy environment. Inner courtyards will be used to integrate the landscape into the building envelope and create working areas surrounded by greenery. The outdoor areas of the new building will be planted with trees, shrubs, flowers and lawns. Soakaways, retention basins and an extinguishing water pond will be created to allow rainwater to seep away. The choice of building materials also paid close attention to the company’s values in relation to its sustainability strategy.
The office building raises the working conditions for all employees to a new level. Spacious, open-plan office areas along the outer walls and separate boxes for a wide variety of uses offer both communication and retreat areas. Numerous opportunities for communication support cross-divisional collaboration.
„Through the use of innovative technologies and an open room design focussing on creative and meeting zones, we place particular emphasis on the needs of our employees by creating an inspiring working environment”
Christoph Feyerer, CTO at Komptech
The reception area of the building has an inviting design and features the Infopoint and a specially designed atrium with a glass roof. There is also a spacious area for exhibitions and presentations as well as seminar rooms for further training and meetings. A canteen kitchen will also be set up on the ground floor to cater for employees during their lunch break. With all its special features, the “Place for Opportunities” is set to become a flagship project in the region and offer the highest standards in terms of working environment. The ground-breaking ceremony for the major project took place on 2nd February together with all those involved in the project. Completion is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.
