Reportages

Vienna remains different
The world’s tallest high-rise building to be constructed with timber is being erected in Vienna’s new ‘Seestadt Aspern’ district. Innovative and sustainable – frequently used but often meaningless terms. Both terms, however, perfectly describe how the HoHo Wien is being built.

The art of well-being
Katherm HK installed at the MOCAK in Krakow. Reworking of Kampmann’s best-seller. Krakow – Poland’s second largest city – is where this country’s cultural heart is to be found.

Strikingly neutral
Prime Tower in Zurich exercises spectacular restraint. Switzerland – famous for its rustic villages under majestic Alpine panoramic skies; for aromatic cheeses with holes that are impossibly big, for crispy rösti and fine chocolate; for punctuality and cleanliness.

Lunch and Learn
Kampmann Heating, Cooling, Ventilation Ltd., Vancouver (Canada) was established in January 2016. The Kampmann subsidiary is responsible for the sale and distribution of Kampmann HVAC products in North America. Seb Cairns is Managing Director.

A pinch of wisdom
An anecdotal picture journey down 45 years of the company’s history by and with company founder Heinrich Kampmann. “Forty-five years isn’t a real anniversary but it’s still reason enough for me to take stock – with personal insights and anecdotes.

Building work on the Elphi has been completed? Sounds great!
Probably never before have the acoustics for a concert hall been so elaborately planned as those for the Elbphilharmonie. Does it meet the high expectations?

Lord Nelson’s paradise
HMS Victory at Europe’s largest thermal spa world. The mighty ship is in dry dock. But the water is close by – the upper deck presents a magnificent view of the undulating waves below.

When the time ball gets stuck
Six years’ delay in construction cannot harm the prestige project that is the ‘Elbphilharmonie’ The Elbphilharmonie’s already unmistakable silhouette is associated with exploding costs and time delays. And stands in opposition to the fact that the concert hall’s exposed location once stood for precision and punctuality.

Kampmann går norrut!*
Swedish: Kampmann goes north! The Nordic countries – a blank space on Kampmann’s map. Until now. Kampmann operates across Europe and is even present in China.
