Penthouse in Vienna
In the 1990s, a Viennese dairy firm vacated its inner-city location, and young media enterprises began to discover the spacious premises in this industrial building. In the end, all that remained unoccupied was a small space on the roof, built originally to house a water storage tank. Plans were made to convert this 18 m² room into a dwelling. An extension would have been feasible only by strengthening the flat roof at a considerable cost. The architects therefore sought to exploit the existing area to the full and to create the feeling of a spacious ambience.
