Extension and reconstruction Institute for Imaging Diagnostics Dr. Helga Rödler
Friedrich Schiller Straße 69, 2340 Mödling

The extension of an existing X-ray institute in a convenient location in Mödling was intended to create space for a private clinic for computer tomography and magnetic resonance examinations and for other specialist offices to create a medical center for diagnostics and therapy.
The site with the detached building from the 1990s near the Mödling train station could be extended by an elongated two-story structure, and at the same time the existing X-ray institute was renovated inside and out. The Eternit facade of the annex building in brick construction was pulled in front of the existing building at the entrance in order to create a vestibule and a larger waiting room on the ground floor and to playfully integrate the pointed gable roof above the staircase as a design element.
The combination of health insurance and private offices with a common entrance required not only a function-oriented planning, but also to offer a customer-oriented design added value. In the course of the construction and design of the new wing, the client, Dr. Helga Rödler, decided to raise the standard of the existing X-ray institute to that for private patients, whereby the high-quality materiality could also be implemented in the "Kassen-Ordi".
Five female specialists now form the "Health Care Community Mödling". The building with around 770.0m² of usable space is intended to be a place where staff as well as patients and customers feel comfortable and which, through its architecture, creates a new identity for the district of Mödling on the tracks of the southern railroad.
