wienarchitektur.at A masterful contrast between old and new is created by incorporating the eaves heights and window grids of the adjacent Gründerzeit buildings into the proportions of the avant-garde glass skin of this new office building. On the inside, the office storeys open up towards a glass-covered atrium; the penthouse “huddled” amidst the roofscape conveys novel perspectives of the city.
