DESIGN-AWARD dream apartment in the Kärntnerviertel next to the State Opera and City Park

GENERAL PROPERTY DESCRIPTIONThe magnificent period building was constructed in 1869 to plans by Carl Tietz for the wealthy industrialist Carl Herzfeld on the site of the former city wall. The historic property is located in Vienna's 1st District at the corner of Schillngergasse and Fichtegasse. The building was completely renovated and extended with an expansive loft conversion. The property houses a total of 16 apartments, which are accessible via the newly built elevator and the elegant stairway. The ground floor premises are intended for service companies such as law firms or medical practices. The building facilities also include a wine cellar and basement compartments, which belong to the apartments. The classically structured period façade, decorated with ornaments and triangular gables, was renovated and given a new, neutral coat of paint in accordance with the protection zone regulations. The existing house entrance gate was carefully renovated, retaining the original characteristics of the gate.The design in the Herzfeldhaus pays homage to the time around 1900. The colour concept is strongly inspired by Egon Schiele, the interior design is influenced by the styles of Viennese Modernism, Adolf Loos, the Wiener Werkstätten and their intellectual heirs. Careful, technically flawless revitalisation and restoration work centres on the respectful handling of the valuable original material. Adding the highest quality components has allowed the building to be brought from the past into the future.LOCATION DESCRIPTIONSurrounded by historical buildings in a quiet residential area, the location offers all the advantages of the 1st District: luxurious shopping facilities as well as cultural amenities in the form of museums and concert halls.
