Haas House, Austria
From series “Famous buildings of Postmodern architecture”Year: 1990.
The building of the Haas House shopping center is a real decoration of one of the central streets of Vienna. The project of the building in the postmodern style was designed by the Austrian architect Hans Hollein. The construction of the shopping center was completed in 1990. In addition to dozens of shops and boutiques, the prestigious restaurant is located in the building today. The construction of the spectacular building caused a lot of controversy in professional circles and residents. Many believe that its original appearance is completely out of harmony with the historical and religious buildings located nearby.
According to some experts, the Roman citadel of Vindobon inspired the Austrian architect to build the original building. It has the same semi-circular facade. Decorative stone and mirror tiles were used in its decoration. The main feature of the interior architecture is a five-level atrium. Shopping galleries are located around it. The restaurant is located on the top floor of the Haas House center. Some of its tables are served on the outdoor terrace during the warmer months. It offers a wonderful view of the nearby historical sights of Vienna.
