Roof Conversion

(cited from "Architktur aktuell" - Nr 227 - April 1999)

The architects did not withdraw the living area in the "Gründerzeit"-stock through the assembling of the bar in the ground floor. This living area, that was lost in favor of the Guess Club, was regained in the high traffic floor without any considerable expenses. The silhouette of the roof remained unchanged - with exception of 2 incised terrasses with fantastic view. Tha facade of the building was newly plastered, however it was left in its original condition above the Guess Club.
