Architect based in Linz

DI Katharina Keimelmayr

To me, architecture means far more than planning and erecting buildings. It is about creating spaces that move people, enrich their daily lives and become a true home.

My path

I completed my architecture studies at the Vienna University of Technology in 2015. I then gained valuable experience in several architecture practices, working on projects of very different scales. Above all, my years in residential design left a lasting mark on me.

In 2026 I passed the Austrian chartered architect examination. Since then I have been a state-authorised and sworn chartered architect (Ziviltechnikerin) and have taken the step into self-employment. With my own studio I can realise my vision of good architecture — guiding projects personally, individually and with great commitment, from the first idea to completion.

My understanding of architecture

My view of architecture has been shaped by designing homes. It is with large residential developments that the quality of good planning becomes most visible. It is not the size of a room that makes it worth living in, but the way it can be used by the people who live there.

The challenge of achieving the greatest possible quality of living, functionality and atmosphere within a limited area still fascinates me. For me, good architecture emerges through well-thought-out floor plans, a coherent sense of space and a deliberate approach to light, materials and proportion.

My aim

I love beauty, but beauty alone is not enough. My aim is to create spaces that are functional, timeless and individual — spaces that reflect the personality of the people who use them and create an atmosphere of their own.

Because to me, architecture has succeeded when it is more than mere design. When spaces emerge that feel right and fit the people who use them.
