Kinder Kunst Labor (KKL)
We were commissioned with the structural engineering for the innovative project “KinderKunstLabor” (KKL) in St. Pölten, the capital of Lower Austria. The KinderKunstLabor is a museum and centre for the development of children’s understanding of art.
Innovative, Unconventional and of High Quality
The building comprises five levels in total; in the central area, activities and exhibitions take place on all floors. The access points are located in the outer areas. A lamellar wooden facade creates a unique atmosphere of light and shade in the building and enables charming views and insights.
In connection with the KKL, the head of the provincial government, Johanna Mikl-Leitner, spoke of its “innovative, high-quality architecture geared to the needs of children, which clearly stands out from conventional museum construction.”
