Smartvoll

The studio focuses on working with existing places, bringing new life to village centers, vacant halls and underused paved areas. Its outlook connects a love of cities with an appreciation for village life, peripheral locations and commercial districts, while recognizing the environmental challenges ahead and the responsibility that comes with them.

The practice advocates adapting buildings rather than replacing them wherever possible. When new construction is appropriate, smartvoll aims for resource-efficient, circular solutions. Its portfolio includes adaptive reuse, urban greening and climate-focused projects in Vienna and other locations, such as Klimahalle Spinelli, Green The Grey, Urban Wildling Vienna and Zellerndorf.

Designs are developed collaboratively through discussion, curiosity and respect. The team describes its process as one of learning, testing ideas and revising them, bringing a fresh perspective, courage and commitment to each project. smartvoll’s architecture seeks to engage people on equal terms and keep the future in view, with an emphasis on cooler cities and stronger communities.
