How do you create a town square that blends harmoniously into its existing surroundings while also forming a lively center for the community?

With more than 80,000 companies, over 214,000 employees and around 3% of Austria’s GDP, the creative industries play a central role in Austria’s economy, driving innovation, value creation and employment. This is why dialogue across disciplines matters.
 

At PLANET, we sometimes shift our focus and deliberately immerse ourselves in furniture design. TABLO is one such project: not a classic architectural project, but a piece of furniture that arose from our approach to space, use, and flexibility.

The DOCKS are a landmark and pioneering building in the VILLAGE IM DRITTEN: covering 9,000 m², they offer an environment that goes far beyond the classic range of commercial real estate. 

PLANET, back to the roots: An inspiring reunion across continents.

We had the privilege of designing the new working environment for European Locomotive Leasing at Julius-Tandler-Platz in Vienna – based on the values that distinguish ELL: dynamism, efficiency, and sustainability.

September at PLANET architects is packed with deadlines and competitions - but we also kept our planetary speed at the Hashtag#viennabusinessrun last week!

A few weeks ago, our entire PLANET team came together in Burgenland, Austria – for three days of focus, inspiration, and connection. 🌍💡

With over 2,100 participants, the Festival of Curiosity took place in Linz two weeks ago - and PLANET architects was also able to take part with a contribution. 🪐

Tech is changing work—we know that. But how do we design spaces that truly keep up? Our CEO Gerhard was at SXSW 2025 to explore exactly that. He returned from Austin with three key insights that resonate deeply with our work at PLANET

A workspace designed for collaboration, flexibility, and innovation: Across 4,400m², we created an environment that brings together collaboration zones, a Customer Experience Center, and adaptable workspaces.

With our first PLANET Mobile Office adventure officially over, we had to ask ourselves: „What did we learn from it?” and more importantly: „What’s next?”.

Old enough to party!

PLANET architects is on cloud nine!

As the year ends, our PLANET team wishes you a rejuvenating holiday, as well as plenty of health and success in 2023! This year we decided instead of spending money on Christmas cards, to donate it.

Planet @ Home Office and other Locations!

Who we are and how we express it!

The Moroccan landscape knows how to captivate travellers. When the muezzin calls for prayer in the morning and the warm African sun rises in Morocco, it becomes clear how far Europe lies behind you. The mountainous landscapes vary from the Rif over the high Atlas to the dunes of Erg Chegaga.
Across the country, we visited many places far away from tourism and got to know some old traditions, ancient architecture and Moroccan handicrafts.

VR Days Europe = Business + Science + Art. Where Realities Meet.

On the occasion of the opening of the Dynatrace Lab in Torre Glories, the PLANET team spent 4 days in the vibrant metropolis.

Up the stairs - down the stairs!

A tiny "Behind-The-Scenes" of the video AND the video of the setup itself. 
This is how the set up of the beautiful piece could take place at your home or office - with your very own sound-effects!
Ta-daaa - enjoy!

Two In One!
The transformation of a room in a very little time.

We like to think about the project 'Literature Museum', which we realised together with BWM Architekten for the Austrian National Library and the Austrian State Archives.

Why only celebrate a 10th anniversary when you can celebrate an 11th anniversary right away!
