The architects’ studio heri&salli designed the VIENNESE GUEST ROOM for the Gegenbauer Vinegar Brewery in Vienna. They created guest rooms in 5 small apartments in a Viennese apartment building, with the bare minimum of intervention. The main and practically the sole piece of furniture is the socalled VIENNESE GUEST BED.
The “Apartment H+M” project comprises the restoration of a 130m2-apartment in a classic Viennese old building on the piano nobile of a house that was built at the turn of the century. It is located on ÄußereMariahilferstrasse in Vienna’s 15th district. For this project our client was looking for an apartment with preservable original substance that was not altered by typical mistakes of previous renovation attempts.
Steirereck is one of the best restaurants in the world. The need for more internal space and the ever-increasing demands placed on this sector meant that a comprehensive re-formulation became necessary, despite renovations being completed only a few years before.
The main focus of this design is the connection between the long tradition of the building of Sofiensäle and modern, contemporary architecture.
The Room is café, bar, restaurant and club in one location. The day design offers bright colors and a cozy feel-good atmosphere for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or just a cup of coffee or tea, whilst the central bar area bribes the visitors at night with different lightning moods and fancy cocktails.
The two houses together with the neighboring buildings form a cozy courtyard. The south garden offers much peace and quiet, away from the street noise. All living rooms have a direct connection to the outdoor space. The numerous balconies and terraces are well interconnected.
Wien Energie is known as an open, flexible, ecological and customer-oriented company. All these attributes are also included in the design.

The central urban business location is transformed to become an intelligent and functional business park with urban flair. The resident production companies are supplemented with offices, studios and manufacturing plants from the creative industries and are converted into the ambient business park breitensee. The residual voids create a three-dimensional development of alternatively allocated exterior areas, which double up as office terraces and also help boost communication and shape the identity of the business park.
