M-Preis Supermarket

The M-Preis complex is set next to the road on a clear piece of slope facing the valley at the entrance to the village of Wenns. The most significant spatial and structural design decision was the manifestation of the main hall in the shape of a U-profile with the floor and walls forming a monolithic unity with a delicate sheet-metal roof stretched across. In addition to being an interesting new type of supermarket, the high architectural standard of the M-Preis contributes to an improvement of the quality of life in the village.
