production hall Schiebel for camcopterswiener neustadt, lower austria - design 2004-2006
"Schiebel Elektronische Geräte GmbH" arranged a strategy competition in summer 2004 calling for ideas to design a production hall with an integrated office building to represent the identity of this international aviation company. Because of its close proximity to a testing area and an airfield, the site in Wiener Neustadt was chosen as an ideal location. The design of project A01 architects ZT GmbH won the competition and the firm was authorized to conduct the construction process. The project, which also included the interior design, was finished in September 2006.
The building is composed of two parts: The office unit is arranged lengthwise facing the street and the production hall is located next to the airfield. The office area holds the major administrative functions of production, marketing, research and education. The meeting room leads on to a generous deck for visitors, which provides a perfect vantage point to watch the occasional air shows. A great deal of thought was put into the function of the employees’ area, and accordingly it was arranged with its own terrace accessible from the lunchroom. The production area covers two thousand square meters. The hall holds not only an area for assembly and fabrication work, but also an area for design, development and maintenance. The autonomous helicopters are developed and manufactured using the latest production processes.
The innovative concept of the camcopter was awarded the "österreichischen Staatspreis für Design 2005" and is distributed all around the world.
