Leopoldstraße Conversion (Greif Furniture House)

Leopoldstraße 1, 6020 Innsbruck, A
Architecture: Architekt Christoph Schwaighofer, Benedikt Gratl (2012-2014) Builder-owner: Triumphpforten Immobilien GmbH Open to the public: partially TIP: On the ground floor is a "Vapiano” chain restaurant.

Erected directly behind the Triumphal Arch in the 1980s, the "Möbelhaus Greif” ("Greif Furniture House”) was converted after several user changes into a residential, office and shop building. The paramount goal of the conversion measures was to react with a conservatively designed structure at a prominent location in the middle of historical buildings. Among other things, the structured concrete-prefab façade was taken down and replaced by a considerably more toned-down façade design, which enables the texture of its thick mineral plaster surface to haptically emerge.

Münze Hall (Hall Mint)

Burg Hasegg 6, 6060 Hall in Tirol, A
Architecture: Benedikt Gratl (2003) Open to the public: in summer, Tuesday – Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., in winter Tuesday – Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Accessibility: Accessible, from Innsbruck, with bus S or 4 In the museum you can mint your own souvenir coin.

Hasegg Castle with the twelve-angle mint tower is the landmark of the town of Hall. Originally, it dates back to the 13th century, but had undergone rather chaotic growth over the centuries. With a few very intelligent and respectful interventions, it was possible to implant a museum. A "must see” is the historic mint tower with its two staircases which you now can enter using a new sculptural steel spiral staircase.
