Both of them left the Klosterneuburger Hütte more or less the way it is. In order to increase the capacity of the eating area, the kitchen was put in a kind of container outside and the space won used for additional seating. A new three story building next to the Hütte would be built to include the exhibition and seminar rooms which would be on separate levels. Between would be an information and souvenir shop.
The sleeping area would be constructed in a low cost building with a wonderful view of the valley.

5th Prize (2nd Place Special Acknowledgement Prize) = Project No. 5

Arch.-DI Johannes Melbinger
Defreggergasse 1
A-8020 Graz

His proposal foresaw only minor changes of the Klosterneuburger Hütte. According to his plans the building would resemble an elegant Scandinavian cabin and would include living space for the manager. The visitors center would be placed along the mountain ridge at the end of the wind park (near wind turbine number 11).
The visitors center would be made of 144 triangles folded to construct one single surface. They would be assembled on the ground and lifted for construction by two cranes. The different rooms would be placed inside the building in the form of containers and would be the only insulated areas. With the help of mobile wall screens, sound proof seminar rooms could be easily and quickly constructed.

6th Prize (3rd Place Special Acknowledgement Prize) = Project No. 18

Arch.-DI Markus Prackwieser

Museumsstrasse 23/II
A-6020 Innsbruck

He designed a kind of "base camp" which could be easily enlarged or made smaller. The building structures would be placed along the existing hiking path leading from the Hütte to the wind park. In order to make construction at an altitude of 1,900 metres above sea level uncomplicated, Prackwieser designed a module building system where the separate parts would be completed in the valley and transported in a prefabricated state to the site where they would be mounted to the foundations.
