FUSING HISTORY AND MODERNITY
Nestled in the heart of Vienna , Austria , in the historic district of Innere Stadt , is a remarkable realisation that fuses history and modernity . This project , conceived by the design studio AB-ARCHITECTS , is a masterful transformation of a classic flat in an old stucco building into a contemporary retreat for a young family .
The flat , with a generous area of 284 square metres , has been carefully redesigned to meet the tastes and needs of a young couple . The layout includes a spacious living room , dining room , kitchen , two guest rooms that can be converted into children ’ s rooms if required , and a master suite with bathroom , laundry room and walk-in wardrobe .
The designers have skilfully fused the classical and the modern , preserving the charming charm of history and the elegance of the classical style , while incorporating modern functionality . This manifests itself in the plaster stucco and reliefs on the walls , the serene colour palette and the use of natural materials such as stone , plaster , wood and metal . The furniture , from renowned Italian brands such as Edra , Flexform , Baxter and Poliform , adds a touch of sophistication .
