Another honor: The forward-looking corporate headquarters of CERATIZIT Austria in Breitenwang in Tyrol, which was integrally designed by ATP architects engineers, was nominated for the Industrial Building Prize 2024.

On Thursday October 3, 2024, ATP Partner and Managing Director in Zagreb Dario Travaš opened the exhibition “architecture. From Rijeka to Vienna. ATP architects engineers,” which he curated together with his team, in the City Museum of Rijeka. The subject of the exhibition is ATP’s multi-office design culture. A native of the City of Rijeka, Travaš is also Head of Design of ATP architects engineers in Vienna as well as embodying the many years of cultural and economic exchange between these two forward-looking Central European regions.

This year, ATP architects engineers’ annual Christmas donation is benefitting “Locugee: awakening potentials,” which is organized by the JRS – Jesuit Refugee Service in Vienna. ATP is supporting Pater Martin Rauch S.J. and his team in their work of promoting integration through a contribution of 20,000 euros.

The “Grand Central” office building at Vienna’s Floridsdorf Station is a hybrid timber building par excellence, because the building complex had to be built as quickly as possible, due to its extremely busy location. In addition to this, this environmentally-friendly building method was also a game changer in terms of the key structural requirement – that the building had to be as light as possible due to the fact that it is supported by the metro tunnel that passes below it. The elegant role played by the (completely invisible) use of timber in the integrated design of the building with Building Information Modeling (BIM) comes as a particularly pleasant surprise.

The experienced designer joined the top management team in Frankfurt, where he is responsible for the area of engineering, in March 2024. He now forms the integrated management duo in the German metropolis together with Matthias Koch, Managing Director/Architecture. As the two experts had already worked together before joining ATP, mutual trust was guaranteed from day one.
