Their philosophy of “poetic pragmatism” underlines their architectural style which entails a commitment to make living spaces livable and lively.

Human beings are the central focus of the projects taken up by Querkraft. Their architecture is committed to spatial freedom, sustainability, innovation, creativity, and compassion

“We want to give people space” is the ethos of the firm. The accessibility and functional utility of a building is just as important as its aesthetic value.

Their recent projects clearly mirror this keen interest in the environment and humanity. The inner-city, car-free IKEA by the Vienna west station is a quintessential example of architecture that is beautiful and human-friendly.

Their primary way of committing is using a cycle rather than owning cars. The new IKEA store accommodates all these new developments in consumer behavior.

Being a “good neighbor” is facilitated by features like the public roof terrace, the fantastic variety of greenery on all facade areas, a café, and an outdoor space with a welcoming design

The grid-like design of The Good Neighbor is primarily intended to permit the space needed to grow trees at each level of the structure to purify the air and cool down the temperature.

The movement calls for deaccelerating the pace of living and resorting to a more relaxed, easy-going way of life. It is an antithesis to the rat race and the glorification of the hustle culture in metropolitan cities
