Schönberg estate Schwarzach
Recycled concrete from the demolition of an old office and staff building belonging to the Austrian Federal Forests was used for the new Schönberg housing estate. This meant that around 1,200 tonnes of old concrete could be reused.
The residential building, which comprises 28 rental flats, was built according to the plans of the Hallein architectural firm Thalmeier. The 2-, 3- and 4-room flats were fitted with parquet flooring and had spacious balconies or terraces with garden areas. Outside, a playground, attractive greenery and visitor car parks were created. An environmentally friendly energy system consisting of district heating and a photovoltaic system contributes to low operating costs.
