Friedrich Achleitner commented about their projects that they influenced the new specific architecture considerably ("... einen großen Einfluss auf die öffentliche Wahrnehmung der neuen Tiroler Architektur genommen"). While they created many buildings jointly, each architect also pursued his own projects. They built a home for homeless children as a Gruppenwohnheim (group home) with four separate units, completed in Jagdberg, Vorarlberg, in 1984. • Illustration — Extension of the University Hospital Innsbruck, completed 2008 The joint extension of the University Hospital in Innsbruck, created by adding a technical and a clinical floor for gynecology and neurology on top, built from 2006 to 2008, was nominated for the award of the Fundació Mies van der Rohe in 2009. In 2008, Springer published a monograph of their works, both group and individual projects, titled Heinz-Mathoi-Streli / Architekten / Bauten und Projekte / Buildings and Projects, with evaluations by Achleitner and Otto Kapfinger. The same year, the architects dissolved their firm. Works by Heinz were part of the exhibition Autochtone Architektur in Tirol presenting the architecture of Tyrol with respect for the alpine landscape, in Munich in 1994. Heinz worked as an assistant at the Institut für Hochbau of the Universität Innsbruck. He then taught design at the Institut für Raumgestaltung, building of schools at the Institut für Gebäudelehre, also at the Institut für Hochbau at the university.
