ATP Asymetria, the Krakow office of ATP architects engineers, is repositioning itself: Following several years of close cooperation with the well-known Polish engineering company Tequm, the offices have now decided to merge in order to be able to provide all architecture and engineering services from a single source under the name ATP Krakow. This will enable the new office to benefit from the synergies offered by the entire ATP Group and to offer a complete range of design services in line with the ATP standard. ATP Krakow is headed by the architects Marek Borkowski and Witold Gilewicz, together with the engineer Marek Dyduch of Tequm.

LINZ AG celebrated the completion of the new grid control center of LINZ NETZ GmbH on Wiener Straße with a symbolic handing-over of the key in the presence of numerous guests. The identity-defining concept by ATP architects engineers is notable for its particularly sustainable building and facade technology. The combination of the use of the building’s own energy grid and regenerative sources of energy with a new district heating plant and cooling tower are enabling lifecycle costs to be dramatically reduced. In this way, the new building is fully aligned with both the EU Climate Objectives and the client’s budgetary targets.

After almost two years on site, ATP architects engineers joined the clients, media representatives, and many other guests to celebrate the opening of Škoda Auto’s new state-of-the-art corporate headquarters. ATP Vienna and ATP sustain were commissioned with the BIM-supported integrated design of the complex in 2018 following their success in a competition. The Laurin & Klement Kampus establishes a benchmark in the area of sustainability and the opening day was marked by the presentation of the Austrian Green Planet Building Award. The objective is to receive a DGNB certification in gold.

With its dynamic, almost circular form, the architecturally expressive building energizes the urban fabric and generates a sense of identity. Daylight-filled spaces are grouped around a large interior courtyard as a means of optimally supporting the working processes in the building. This functionally well-thought-out structure and the highly-efficient operation of the building result from the rigorous use of integrated design with building information modeling (BIM) – from the initial design process to the facility management of the complex.

In the 2023 edition of its annual study “Building Design’s annual survey of the top global practices” the highly respected British magazine Building Design (BD) lists ATP amongst the international leaders in a number of areas:
