The three blocks of project V111 on Max-Halle Strasse, also to a Passivhaus design, are already complete (right). The largest residential development to Passivhaus standards in Vorarlberg V110/112 is being built on Arlbergstrasse in Bregenz (left). Architects in conversation Interview with architect Christian Matt from architects Dorner/Matt Bregenz/AUT Is the outlook good for the success of the Passivhaus concept in multiple-occupancy buildings? Christian Matt: We can see changes in attitude to the way we use resources at all levels of society. The subjects of energy generation and consumption are considered on a much more scientific basis today than they were ten years ago. This has major effects on multiple-occupancy buildings. I see the Passivhaus as part of a longer term development within the framework of a universal Darwinian evolution and certainly not as an end point. Today we have adopted technology which is focused on achieving airtightness and optimising insulation. In the medium term, we are certain to leave this path again and concern ourselves with new technologies. I believe in the inventiveness of mankind. Architect Christian Matt discusses the future for the Passivhaus and the requirements of his construction partners. What makes a construction project is a success or not? Christian Matt: A successful project can only result if all the participants are treated as equal partners. That means, everyone from the architect to the main contractor to the craftsman must take the interests of the other stakeholders seriously. The way they interact and how they communicate with one another play a critical role. How do you find working with Rhomberg? Christian Matt: The equal partnership approach I mentioned earlier worked very well in our last cooperative project “Arlbergstrasse – Wohnen im Park”. And the Alpenländische Heimstätte went well from the point of view of the client. As an architect, what advantages do you see from having a general contractor as a partner? Christian Matt: Short communication channels, a single point of contact and last but not least the ease of discussing technical matters are the crucial factors. We have also found that by forming an expert team we can complete processes quicker without the quality of the work and architecture suffering as a result. Thank you for speaking to us!

IDEAS WE RECOGNISE AND RESPECT THAT THE NEEDS OF LAST. PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT. CORPORATE IDENTITY (CI) Building a common identity for the Rhomberg Group and its companies Who are we, when we look under the surface of our defined company activities and company structures? How do we appear and how do we wish to be perceived in the sense of the “inner truth” of our company – our company strategy? All these questions emerge time and time again when you consider corporate identity. The consistent market presence, the “CI” - the company’s identity as the basis for a strong public image - is often limited to a graphical interpretation. There are always three aspects to a functional, integrated corporate identity: 1 Corporate Communications (CC), how the company communicates 2 Corporate Design (CD), how the company appears 3 Corporate Behaviour (CB), the company’s culture or code of behaviour Only if all these aspects are properly considered and put into practice, can an integrated, concise company image, both internally and externally, be developed and the company regarded as being authentic. Over recent months, the Rhomberg Group has been very intensively involved in drawing up the CI for Rhomberg and its subdivisions. The first results have already been implemented: • For corporate design (CD) we have written Part 1 of the CD manual as a branding guide with harmonised templates for PP presentations, project data sheets, advertisements, brochures, POS (Point of Sale) items and a guidance pack. The websites are being successively updated. • Increased emphasis is placed on the company’s core message in corporate communications (CC). We will not be content to use the conventional words “who, what, how, where, when” merely to inform people of our message, but will seek to reinforce it “why”: Why are we innovative, environmentally conscious, forward thinking? Why we are interested with this or that subject …! • We live every day according to our code of corporate behaviour (CB) – at the workplace but also in our leisure time. We work in a company that has set itself very high objectives: to work in a deliberate and sustainable manner for this generation and the next! Each of us is an ambassador for the company: We should also observe our code of corporate behaviour in the world outside work. In this way every employee can make a valuable contribution to the perception of the Rhomberg Group. Gabi Schnell 24 NEW DIMENSIONS | marketing
