Construction Description

The existing hall is located south of the “Kleinen Schmida” in the west of the estate. In the east, the building was expanded by the new construction. On the first floor of this part of the building the guest room with bar area, kitchen, sink, refrigerator, storage room, changing rooms, and sanitary facilities for staff are located, including associated sanitary facilities and storage for sports and club room.

The restaurant and the lobby will open with a continuous glass façade towards the old town and thus provide both a previously barely existing functional opening as well as attractive views of the city and links into the building.

Over a stairway, you get from the guest room into the horizontal lying and over the terrace into the hall lying and cantilevered upper floor

The large multi-functional open space opens with high glass walls to the hall and the outdoor area, it combines the old with the new building and outdoor space and provides additional views of the town.

Along the side of the new building is a terrace at the same level. It divides into a northern area for visitors, and in the south into a delivery zone with a loading area and access to the adjacent rooms.

From the outside dressing and sanitary areas open up, that is accessible independently of the indoor or gastronomy area.

The outdoor area is lowered to the interior level and attached to the existing ground level.

The northern area of the hall population is full cellar over the entire length. In the basement are dressing rooms, sanitary facilities, storage facilities, and building utilities. Also, a fitness studio with separate access from the outside is located in the basement.

Traffic

From Kühnringerstrasse, two entrances lead to the festival grounds. The Western driveway will be used as the main entrance. It is located opposite the main entrance of the newly built foyer, which is reached through a bridge. The northwestern part of the festival site will be used as a utility space. Between the entrance driveway laying towards the city and the main access, the main area of the festival grounds with the festival office is located. The area can be used for events.

For events in the hall, this area can be used as a car park extension.

A second bridge connects the event area north of “Kleine Schmida” with the southern part of the festival grounds. Between the river and the city hall remains a possibility to pass.

The existing third entrance remains. The supply and disposal of the multi-purpose hall and the catering takes place through a trunk sill that is separated from the traffic of the festival area.
