PRPM Architekten’s design connects old and new Innsbruck, with OKALUX KAPILUX T providing diffuse daylight and thermal comfort.

Town halls are central spaces of civic encounter and public life. This is especially true for the Rathaus Galerie Innsbruck, where administration, gastronomy and retail are brought together in a clearly structured, contemporary building ensemble.

Planned by PRPM Architekten, the structure creates a transparent connection between the historic old town and the modern urban fabric. A glass-covered passage connects different parts of the ensemble and creates a generous, public inner courtyard.

For the façade glazing, KAPILUX T was chosen. The translucent insulating glass with integrated capillary slabs allows for diffuse, glare-free daylight transmission while providing excellent thermal insulation and privacy.
