A restaurant on hallowed ground, on Vienna’s Karlsplatz, a stone’s throw from St. Charles’s Church.
The new café restaurant in Resselpark invites you to linger; regulars, students from the nearby TU, tourists, everyone is welcome.
From the outside, the building looks like a collection of many small houses facing the public. This immediately creates a welcoming, human scale. Everyone has their own house to eat in.
The comprehensive spatial reorganization within the oval bordered by a hedge, characteristic of Karlsplatz, opened up opportunities for improvement: the multiple passageways were reactivated, the listed Tilgner fountain was integrated, and the ground was unsealed and unified. The sidewalk café now blends seamlessly into the general area.
