Bold and pointed: reconstruction of the Razumovsky palace in Vienna
(Many more pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)
Two major art collectors acquired the palais, in need of renovation, from the city of Vienna and installed there an Art Foundation with Gallery, as well as an apartment flat in the attic. The conversion of the listed building required sensitivity. Not authentic components were removed, top floor and staircase completely renovated, an underground parking built - anything in concordance with the Heritage Office.

The palace was the in time of the Vienna Congress in 1806 built for Prince Andrew Kirillovitch Razumovsky, the diplomat of the Russian Tsar Alexander. Razumovsky was music patron and art collector and his palace is considered a jewel of the Viennese architectural heritage. Architect of the ensemble of three buildings with over 11,000 m² was the Belgian Louis Montoyer. During the Second World War the building suffered damages that were only provisionally repaired and in the postwar period the house fell into bad ways.
In the reinterpretation of the Razumovsky palace it was on the one hand a matter to comply with the historical form, on the other hand to develop a contemporary solution for the new spatial requirements.
The new aluminum clad roof, a steel truss structure, supported by a number of Vierendeel carriers, fits naturally into the existing ensemble. The penthouse apartment is surrounded by terraces and features floor to ceiling vertical glazing. Sun protection slats of extruded aluminum form the original roof shape, provide shade and frame the view to the outside.
The ground floor was, arguably completely in line with the art-loving first owner, converted in a six -meter-high gallery. The two larger rooms were connected by the insertion of a new additional level between two free-standing angled concrete slices.
The staircase designed Baar-Baarenfels completely new with an organically shaped staircase made of concrete, which is not mounted on the wall - a constructive feat, since the shape results from the static flow of forces. Thus, the mass of concrete nevertheless looks slimly and elegantly shaped, almost floating.
The elevator shaft of 13.70m consists of self-supporting glass walls, mounted on steel brackets to produce maximum brightness and transparency. The elevator cab consists on three sides of black glass and though the glass ceiling of the cabin the user should as clearly as possible perceive the vertical movement. The elevator constitutes at the same time the transition from the historical component to the modern apartment rooms in the attic. From there, one overlooks the park of the palace and the adjacent buildings .
The jury of the World Architecture Festival in 2013 praised the work of the architect Baar-Baarenfels: "There is perhaps only once in a lifetime the opportunity to influence a 200 year old building with great historical significance. The architect through his implementation has been successful in the architectural resolution of a paradox: a bold design concept that is in the expression tender and pointed."
