Since 2011 Anna Moser and Michael Hager have run their architecture practice in Upper Austria. Their work centres on building in existing fabric, particularly in rural contexts. They have revitalised numerous farmsteads, as well as the Schlierbach Abbey Secondary School and the Markthaus in Kremstal. In 2021, they received the Icomos Best Practice Award for the renovation of Hof B near Steyr. Moser studied architecture in Vienna and Rotterdam and art education in Linz. Hager studied architecture and later completed a master’s in industrial engineering in Graz. Since 2023, he has served as head architect of St. Mary’s Cathedral in Linz.
Moser und Hager are converting the Dirnbergergut, a historic square farmstead in Upper Austria, into a multi-generational house. As a first step they built a new residential building in the historic barn.
