Concrete as a building material has undergone a significant transformation in recent years. It has become not only a practical solution but also a creative tool that allows architects and designers to innovatively shape urban spaces. BOXBETON, a company focused on the production of atypical concrete prefabricates, contributed its expertise to the project of the new Aspern urban district in Vienna, one of the significant European urban development projects.
Atypical concrete prefabricates emphasizing the modern urban environment
Aspern, a newly emerging district in Vienna, is one of the largest European urban development projects. The task was to manufacture and supply various construction elements and urban furniture precisely according to the designs of architects and designers for both phases of this extensive project. The custom prefabricates not only contributed to the aesthetics of the entire space but also ensured the longevity and durability of all construction elements due to their technical properties.
Design and functionality in symbiosis
Collaboration with architects and designers is a key part of our work. During the design and production process, emphasis was placed not only on functionality but also on aesthetic appearance. The atypical shapes and surfaces of our prefabricates allow architects to create unique urban environments that align with modern design while providing a high degree of sustainability.
Innovation and sustainability in construction
Concrete prefabricates have many advantages, including faster construction, minimal waste, and recycling potential. Thanks to these properties, concrete is an ideal material for urban projects that emphasize both sustainability and innovation. Aspern is proof that concrete can meet not only technical requirements but also provide architects and investors with the creative freedom to transform the urban landscape.
