IKEA V3, the third IKEA location in the Austrian capital, redefines the look of the Swedish furniture store: the building with its six above-ground storeys was erected as a new replacement building in a prime urban location, with excellent public transport connections and no car parking. The new IKEA V3 is multifunctional. The building hosts a furniture store, restaurants, office space and a hostel, topped off by a public roof terrace accessible without any obligation to make a purchase. The building is \u2018a good neighbour\u2019: it opens up into the urban space. The surrounding 4.5 metre deep \u2018shelf\u2019 creates space on the pavement and above it space for balconies, additive special rooms. Finally, 160 large plants shade the fa\u00e7ade and have a climate-regulating effect far beyond the building itself.<\/p>\n\n
In this project, we provided the services of building physics<\/strong>, building energy modelling<\/strong>, CFD-simulation and certification<\/strong> in accordance with the BREEAM green building standard.<\/p>\n\n \u2018Reduce to the max!\u2019 was the slogan that the general planner, querkraft architekten, used as a planning philosophy and which the planning team put into practice on a daily basis. The building physics were challenged by the many different uses under one roof, as well as by the uncommon pairing of a furniture store and lively, open fa\u00e7ade design. Through our planning-integrated building simulation, we created a solid decision-making foundation to coordinate architecture, building physics, and building technology, enabling the development of effective and optimised solutions. Additionally, CFD-simulations were employed to optimise areas with potential for local thermal discomfort. Subsequently, we accompanied the project through the BREEAM certification process at the \u201cExcellent\u201d level, an recognized mark of the project\u2019s comprehensive ecological quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IKEA V3, the third IKEA location in the Austrian capital, redefines the look of the Swedish furniture store: the building with its six above-ground storeys was erected as a new replacement building in a prime urban location, with excellent public transport connections and no car parking.
