Peek & Cloppenburg Flagship Store, Vienna, Austria

The new Peek & Cloppenburg flagship store will be located on Kärtner Strasse, between

Johannesgasse and Himmelpfortgasse, in Vienna’s historic centre, a district protected as a

UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The starting point for the design was the idea of a “building with windows” – a modern, abstract

interpretation of a classical building typology, which is not freestanding but part of the overriding

structure of the urban area. The building will assert itself as tectonically powerful, and

demonstrate a long-lasting and institutional character through the selection of its materials and

proportions, whilst remaining modest and above all becoming an integral part of the street

façade. The defining material for the façade is a light-coloured, finely pointed Danube Limestone

(Donaukalk) – a typical Viennese building material. The façade will be solidly built, corresponding

in its materiality and craftsmanship with the historic context.

The new building volume will close the urban block as a continuation of the neighbouring

buildings. In its rational structure the design ties in strongly with the tradition of late Viennese

department stores. The façade will subtly react to the structure of the neighbouring buildings.

The window proportions and the ratio between closed wall and openings will reflect the historic

neighbouring buildings. The otherwise recessed glass layer will be brought forward on the ground

floor, transforming the wall openings into display windows at street level. On the fourth floor, the

façade will open up to the city through a loggia.

The six sales levels will be accessed from the main entrance on Kärtner Strasse via a central

atrium, flooded by daylight. A translucent glass and bronze structure crowns the atrium in the

tradition of the large department stores of the 19

th

century, acting as a counterpoint to the sales

areas with its textile stock.

"Peek a boo, I see you." said City to the dogs that live next door. He said my mom doesn't let my dad use dandelion killer in the backyard that is why you see so many dandelions on the ground. She is afraid it is going to hurt us.

I had set up a black satin sheet to take some pictures which Savanah was having a lot of fun with.

my friend playing peek a boo with a young passenger :)

I see you

Focus is wrong, but it's too cute not to share.

Prickly Pear Bloom

Day 206-- Horrible day. Annika was sick and miserable from having a cold and being shot full of diseases yesterday. There were exactly two happy moments in the day for her: bath time and playing with my backdrop. Just a bad day all around, so it's not surprising that I didn't take many pictures and I didn't like the few I took.

My happy moment: when my husband called to say he was coming home and asked if I was okay because I sounded like a zombie from being screamed at ALL DAY LONG, and I said I wasn't really okay, and then he stopped and bought me ice cream on the way home. I got to sit outside and eat ice cream while he took the outraged baby for a few minutes. He saved me from a complete meltdown.
