Winning the first prize in an international ideas competition during our joint student work at the Graz University of Technology, was a groundbreaking experience for us. The soccer stadium in Vienna we designed at that time was a first impulse for us to establish our own architectural office. Ten years then passed. Ten years of intensive work in renowned architectural offices in different parts of Austria.
