austrian practice daniel fugenschuh architekt has completed ‘office under the garden’, a new underground workspace for the atelier in innsbruck, austria. an annex project located in the

garden of a townhouse which housed the office before, the design utilizes the natural slope of the plot to seamlessly integrate the building into the land.

inserted into the edge of a south-facing slope, the office features a fully-glazed elevation which looks out on to the road. the presence of the stone retaining wall is maintained by

incorporating the flanking structure as an extension of the front facade. a slim elevated terrace provides outdoor space by the street while a garage door to the left leads down to a small

underground parking floor.
