Anagnostopoulos Up until 2013, the Hafnerriegel, located in the Jakomini district of Graz,
was functioning as student housing for approximately 360 students. The
Werkgruppe Graz was especially established in order to carry out the
Austrian Student Aid Foundation’s commission to design the 50m tall
building. On each of the 19 floors, living units of five single rooms, or
three double rooms, each had a tea kitchen, a dining space and a sanitary
room. The units were arranged around the central stairwell in a helical
path. Due to the tightening of fire protection rules at the time, a double-
flight fire escape staircase made of exposed concrete was attached to the
outside of the highrise, giving the building its unique look.1 From 2013
to 2014, the building was redesigned by the Austrian architecture office
Architektur Consult. The student housing facility was transformed into
73 flats. Four penthouses were added on the roof of the building and the
characteristic staircase on the outside was demolished.2
