这是由x42 Architektur设计的默德林奥地利中央合作银行论坛。2011年，奥地利中央合作银行举办了一次竞赛，计划以“默德林奥地利中央合作银行论坛（Raiffeisen Forum Mödling）”取代原地区银行，要求建设一座全新的、独特的、超越普通银行功能的建筑。通过服务型银行、房地产经纪、旅行社及保险经纪，以及公共咖啡厅、休息室、活动室等功能混合，该建筑实现了客户的愿景，成为了整个默德林地区的群众聚集场所。

在匿名入围环节，来自维也纳的新兴建筑公司x42 Architektur与来自巴特弗斯劳的的建筑师Jell-Paradeiser联合设计的方案脱颖而出。这个设计团队最终也被委托负责室内和家具设计。该项目位于默德林古镇边缘，地属默德林市政厅保护范围内。他们对立面的要求与陶瓷正立面的理念不谋而合。这种天然的建筑材料——有着不同的沙质色调，反映在默德林的现状建筑中——也符合耐用性和可持续性的理念。这种材料的特色更好地协调墙壁和屋顶风格，构建一个统一、紧凑的外观，以及平衡立面与屋顶的不合理的比例。

In 2011, the RaiffeisenRegionalbankMödling put out a competition with the intention of replacing the regional bank with the ‘Raiffeisen Forum Mödling’ - a new, identifying building that went beyond the function of a classic bank. Through this functional mix of service bank, estate agent, travel agent and insurance brokers, with public cafeteria and lounge area, as well as an events room, the idea of the Raiffeisen Forum was implemented as a meeting point for the people of the whole Mödling region.In the anonymous selection process, it was the work of the young architecture firm x42 Architektur from Vienna, with architect Jell-Paradeiser from Bad Vöslau, that really stood out. The team was eventually also tasked with the interior and furniture design.

The Raiffeisen Forum is situated on the edge of the Mödlinger Old Town, within an area protected by the Mödling council. Their requirement of a subtle facade was met with the idea of a ceramic front. This natural building material - in varying sandy hues, reflecting Mödling’s existing architecture - also underpins the concept of durability and sustainability. The properties of this material allow a homogenous “monocover” over the walls and roof, which gives the building a uniform, compact appearance, as well as balancing the disproportionate ratio of facade to roof required by building regulations.

The forum’s main facade faces the main road, whereas the long west-facing facade infiltrates the narrow Freihofgasse lane, surrounded by free-standing historic buildings. To fit in with the look of the area, made up of small individual units, it was necessary to break up this building’s expanse with extensive glass panels. A gentle backwards tilt in the corner of the main facade leading to Freihofgasse opens up the public space near the main entrance.

The client’s wish, to create a forum for existing and future customers, was fulfilled by a generous, hall-like main room. Depending on the situation, the whole ground floor - from the foyer to the opened event rooms - can be used. The service and advice areas, as well as internal offices, are arranged around this central forum area.Bridges and mezzanines make public areas and internal processes transparent and encourage communication. Empty spaces and naturally planted living walls create vertical connections between floors.Waiting areas become entertainment areas, as a raised lounge not only offers an overview, but also a cafe and internet. These areas create a space for informal advice sessions. Almost 11 metres high, the two planted living walls humidify the air and help to cool the building naturally during the summer months.
