Former Palais Palffy renovation and reinvigoration
Wallnerstraße 1010 Vienna
New OSCE head quarters
Renovation has to do with healing, healing with renewal. A good renovation revives the building, respects what is already there, intervenes where there are structural weaknesses to remedy and fills the building with a new brilliance.
The valuable fabric of building was kept and restored, the less valuable was removed to let more air and sunlight into the building.
