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.
