PPAG architects ztgmbh is an architectural practice based in Vienna, Austria, led by Anna Popelka and Georg Poduschka. Founded in 1995, the office has developed a reputation for thorough research and continuous innovation across the entire field of architecture, engaging in projects from furniture and interior design to urban planning and large-scale buildings. Around 33 employees work out of its Vienna headquarters, with additional activity in Berlin.
The studio is known for prototyping solutions in each project and for not repeating formulaic answers, favoring new approaches instead. It has worked on diverse project types, but residential and educational buildings have become a special focus in recent years. Notable projects include the iconic “Enzi” seating modules for Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier, the Sonnwendviertel Educational Campus in Vienna, residential developments such as Slim City in Aspern, and international commissions like the secondary school in Sauland, Norway. The firm was also responsible for the acclaimed Steirereck restaurants in Vienna and Styria.
Recent activity includes the completion of a major, double school building on Berlin’s Allee der Kosmonauten, designed to accommodate 1,600 students and 200 staff. The office has won multiple architecture awards, such as the City of Vienna Prize for Architecture and the Adolf Loos State Prize for Design. PPAG architects ztgmbh operates by developing every project from scratch, with close collaboration between architects and clients to ensure that each solution responds closely to its context and requirements.
