Hotel Daniel Vienna
Atelier Heiss converted the former Hoffmann-La Roche-building to an urban hotel. The original building had the first curtain-wall style facade in the city (by architect Georg Lippert in 1962). The landmarked facade and the supporting structure exist to this day. The former offices were adapted to hold 115 double rooms, and the ground floor area was converted into a bakery, a retail shop and the reception.

Hotel Pupp
A withdrawal in the middle of the city, away from the hustle and bustle, is made possible. From the outside the tripartite interlocked structure is supplied with a special plaster (in German called “Besenputz”), like the residences close to the city, but is pushed to the fore with the colour pure white. The building comes to life with its cantilevers, with its shadow play in the façade.

Hotel Panorama
A reworking of a traditional hotel – but has the redevelopment gone far enough? Once could imagine a more dynamic intervention, but here is what the architects say: “…the intervention is a constructive gesture using the contrasts of the existing. Inspiration and commitment resulted from strong links between tradition and modernity, inside and outside, cold and hot, before and after…we worked like archaeologists by interweaving old and new in a very dynamic way.”

Hotel Wiesergut
Hotel Wiesergut in Hinterglemm / Salzburger Land has re-opened after a complex renovation and extension.

Monika Gogl therefore worked very consciously with contrasting materials such as local wood, natural stone, granite, glass and exposed concrete.

Clarion Hotel & Congress Trondheim
Unlike the classical American and Asian hotel atrium where everything is exposed in a centralized and vertical, magnificent but one-dimensional experience under a glass cover – the lobby is here given a 3-dimensional and dynamic spatial experience with a programmed roof, and a sequence of shifts between glimpse and panorama, intimacy and spectacular exposure.
