The Hypo Alpe-Adria Center in Klagenfurt, Austria is a vast, 25,000 square foot office complex. The facility includes retail space and a kindergarten. Pritzker Prize winning architect Thom Mayne gave the main structure a large domed roof to create the sense of plowed fields. The building seems to emerge from the earth, with walkways winding through the organic form.
