Local identity meets global thinking. The industry-leading ropeway technology company Doppelmayr has always been based in Wolfurt, Vorarlberg. This is its home base. From here, it operates worldwide.

It is precisely those parameters that informed the design of the new corporate headquarters. For the landmark building in the Hohe Brücke business park, the goal was to transfer the regional rootedness of the company, embedded originally in the village-like structures of the town’s Rickenbach neighborhood, to its new location—a reinterpretation of an urban design situation which, from now on, situates the company in the plain of the Rhine valley. Completed in 2017 and articulated as an array of individual volumes, the complex with its distinctive silhouette presents itself, despite varying building heights and sizes, as an expressive architectural whole. Lined up along a spacious backbone corridor, which also accommodates all community areas, are the variably sized office areas of the individual building
segments. In the open circulation zone with its inward, outward, and through views, communication, exchange, and collaboration are in the foreground. At the same time, the adjoining offices provide room for focused and undisturbed work. Through the interaction of these correlative factors, the building demonstrates qualities like precision, innovation, and advanced technology. In line with the company’s corporate values, it places the needs of employees in the center. Until now, though, it has only been the stage itself that has benefited from the ambience of the location, unique in Austria, whereas the path used by visitors to get from the parking lot to their seats in the auditorium and back always was an unatmospheric, merely functional access way. In brief, village-like structures for global activity.
A future-proof, tailor-made headquarters that, as an address and business card, corresponds to the importance of the international company and at the same time strengthens the company's strong local roots at the Wolfurt location.
