Description
Buxbaum & Partner, 2009, conversion of a residential and commercial building in the centre of Feldkirchen (Carinthia)
As a reference to the history of the building, in which tiles were manufactured and sold, parts of the façade were made of mosaic tiles in individual designs, which gradually darken towards the openings.
The motif of the façade extends into the inner courtyard, serving as a guidance system for the offices and apartments located there.
Architecture: spado architects, photos: Severin Wurnig
