Building (selection)

Bregenz

Austrian National Bank, Bregenz
This neoclassical representative building with expressionist details was built in 1925 by Otto Mallaun together with the two architects Ferdinand Glaser and Rudolf Eisler .
Benger area, Bregenz
The factory building with its own administration wing was planned in 1892 by the architects Wittmann & Stahl from Stuttgart, and the weaving section was designed by the Bregenz architect Otto Mallaun.
This hosiery production facility is an iron construction with a clinker brick facade, crossed gable, tower and bay window - so numerous neo-Gothic details. Hence the name "industrial lock".
Sports store "Imperial-Royal Union Yacht Club Bodensee" (1906), Bregenz
Today this building on the Bregenz in the local style with steep gable, half-timbered and turret in the Bregenz lakeside facilities at the gondola port houses a restaurant - the "Wirtshaus am See".

Workers' houses settlement (plan)
The workers' housing estate for the FM Hämmerle textile company was built on Bündtlittenstrasse according to plans by the architect Otto Mallaun. From an aesthetic as well as socio-economic point of view, it shows extremely progressive apartment floor plans for the time and the external shape is reminiscent of English models.
Two closed rows of houses, one- and two-storey with staggered ridge lines, mansard and pitched roofs, the lowest house each raised like a tower. They represent an example of the takeover and local application of English row houses, although these are not real row houses , but actually rental houses placed in row house form.

Lochau

Kurheim Strandhotel (1910), Lochau
