The subsidised residential building at Kreitnergasse 36 in the Ottakring district of Vienna was designed in an L-shape and arranged around a courtyard. This means that it has two completely different exteriors: While the main façade facing Kreitnergasse is homogeneous and continuous, the courtyard side with balconies, oriels and external spiral staircases offers a varied sequence of projecting architectural elements. Each residential unit has either a glazed bay window that brings additional light into the flats or an open space in the form of a balcony or a garden on the ground floor. Some of the flats on the top floors have their own roof terraces.

For the food service areas at VIECON Vienna Congress & Convention Center run by Gerstner we created a range of new seating setups, adding communal tables of varying heights as well as benches and seating islands. In the buffet area, for example, high tables create a calm anchor within an otherwise very busy zone. The deli, on the other hand, features smaller tables that can be pushed together as needed to accommodate groups of two, four or six. In the restaurant, we developed a varied landscape of seating heights, structuring the space through different types of seating, including a centrally placed seating island with cosy benches, a raised communal table and classic diner-style seating.

The entrance area at Figlmüllers Café am Dom, with its elegant high-set stone tables and banquette seating, is designed for quick, casual meetups. Overhead, an opening in the ceiling displays a three-dimensional map of the city of Vienna as it was around 1910. The long counter, typical of classic Viennese espresso bars, provides a convenient stop for those in a hurry…
