    St.Valentin, Austria

The Eurospar is located on the arterial road to the highway on the outskirts of St. Valentin - on the opposite side of the street the westbahn railroad rushes past. as the Eurospar is accessed exclusively via the Westbahnstraße, the building is very strongly focused in this direction. The floor-to-ceiling glazed front façade is framed by a light, funnel-shaped frame whose surface oscillates through a play of glossy and matte panels. The glazed delivery gate is integrated almost invisibly into the front by adopting the façade grid. In contrast to the light framing of the entrance area, the building is given an elegant, dark gray metal skin made of domico-planum façade elements and thus recedes into the background. Furthermore, the dark color scheme causes a very good integration and the surrounding green space.
