I wish I had the movie settings on for this, he was slowly, slooooowly peeking his head out. It was hilarious.
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.

Peanut Butter loves our bay window ... as you can see she has worn all the paint away and pretty much destroyed the curtains. But really, how could I ever get mad at a dog who plays peek-a-boo?
52 Weeks for k-9s: 9/52
Just wanted to post a recent one of Ella that I just love. Especially because she is the big 5 today! We're talking major milestone. Happy birthday, my beautiful girl.
Sorry I haven't been around much at all....life is just insane right now...which is why I'm posting at 1 am! I hope you are all well, and I'll try to catch up when I can.
Oh, and this was taken using my 2 new toys, which I love, from what I can tell so far. See if you can guess what they are. :)
This baby was constantly having fun with my neighbour who was pulling faces : )
