Living
Brockmanngasse

A development plan prescribing building heights and depths already existed for the plot on the corner of Brockmanngasse and Münzgrabengasse. The developer, Michael Pachleitner, wanted to create a residential building on his centrally located Graz property featuring high-quality architecture and a cohesive design concept, offering maximum quality from the outermost layer down to the interior furnishings.

The façade and the window openings with their varying parapet heights reflect the layout of the apartments; the openings frame light and surroundings and are tailored to both the interior and the environment. The loggias form an extension of the living space and lend a sense of generosity even to the smallest apartments. Large-scale glazing—extending around corners and across the entire loggia—seemingly dissolves boundaries.

Spaces are largely defined by furniture, allowing for an interplay between retreat areas and openness. For example, the wardrobe functions both as a room divider and as part of the kitchen furniture, while the kitchen itself is conceived as both furniture and a spatial divider. Large terraces and balconies face the quiet inner courtyard and, in some cases, offer a fantastic view over Graz’s historic city center.
