Renovation of a house from 1960s

The house is located in a residential neighborhood north of Vienna, in the suburb of Grinzing near Beethoven Park characterized by early 20th-century urban villas. The original design from the 1960s contrasts the context with a rigorous sober design clearly inspired by the principles of the modern movement. The architectural character is announced on the street side by the façade developed horizontally and punctuated by the alternation of large glazed, plastered surfaces and the large red-colored sliding metal panel that hides the entrance door. In the renovation project, we have maintained and revamped the original design in all its parts, enhancing its coherence and refinement of materials. The spatial organization of the house is structured around the central staircase that connects the two floors from the entrance
located on an intermediate floor. The interiors are characterized by the combination of horizontal stone surfaces and vertical wooden surfaces.
