Office building COPA-DATA
Encased in a homogeneous, satin-matt metal façade, the exterior of the compact new office building of software developer COPA-DATA conveys the objectivity, precision, intrinsic value and functionality that the customers of the Salzburg-based family business expect from their contractor. The value that can be experienced on the outside is complemented on the inside by a stimulating, thermally and acoustically optimized, multifaceted working environment. The immediacy of the construction, which is expressed by the execution of the walls and ceilings in fair-faced concrete construction without cladding or floor superstructures, supports the high flexibility in the appropriation by the employees.

The first floor - a coworking area with a central lecture room - serves as a social meeting and encounter zone for customers and employees and represents the philosophy of a future-oriented, digital working world with casual interaction lived by COPA-DATA. Open work and communication areas are located on the upper floors. Due to the open routing of all media, it is possible to react flexibly to future developments in personnel and group formation.
A dynamic simulation was used to target the strengthening of the passive suitability of the building with PV system, deep probes and monovalent brine-to-water heat pump already in the preliminary design phase. Heat and cold are dissipated directly upwards and downwards into the rooms via the monolithic intermediate ceilings without floor build-up. Hygienic room ventilation ensures a healthy working atmosphere; in addition, natural ventilation is possible at any time via openable windows.
The exterior objectivity and precision of the compact solitaire is complemented on the inside by a stimulating, thermally and acoustically optimized, multifaceted working environment.
