Renovation and attic extension with 25 flats and commercial spaces
In the former textile quarter in the inner city of Vienna (“Fetzenviertel”) a representative mid-19th century Gründerzeithaus was renovated and extended. With the name Cotton Residence, the house has now been given its original use as a residential and commercial building. Due to the importance of the building for the urban ensemble (protection zone), special attention was paid to the preservation of the historic façade as well as to the careful insertion of the roof extension. On the courtyard side the building shows its present appearance with spacious terraces and balconies. By lowering the ceiling above the 4th floor an additional 5th full floor with a generous panoramic view could be created.
