Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten ZT GmbH

Allgemeine Informationen

Vorarlberg, Austria´s most western province, provides a favorable climate for high-quality architecture. Architecture made in Vorarlberg aroused international public interest for the first time in the 1980s. The second generation of architects had just these favorable conditions, the architects set out to create a host of new buildings. Helmut Dietrich and Much Untertrifaller are part of this generation.

Having been trained at the Vienna University of Technology, they were influenced by the famous teacher and architect Ernst Hiesmayr (1920 to 2006). In 1992, they won the international competition for the Festspielhaus in Bregenz, an in 1994, they opened their joint practice in Bregenz. The Festspielhaus was adapted and expanded, and completed in 2006. Other projects include Arlberg.well.com (the spa and event center in St. Anton), the first school building built in Klaus (Vorarlberg) according to the passive house standard, the new event and music venue in the Vienna Stadthalle complex, along with numerous large and small building commissions. They place importance – regardless of the dimension of the buildings – on quality concepts, architectural style and precise details.

Over the past fifteen years they have won a number of prestigious competitions, assembling a versatile architecture portfolio, which runs the gamut from single-family homes, to housing estates, a local museum and the Festspielhaus; they designed commercial buildings, university sports facilities and cafés. Furthermore, they completed refurbishments of historic buildings.
