TELEGRAF 7

A telegraph office under a preservation order was converted into a contemporary office building. Two halls with particularly high ceilings on the main floor represent the heart of this architectural project. The centre of the architectural concept are two minimalistic glass boxes that serve as work space and seem to be detached from the existing historical inventory, looking like large pieces of furniture: a room-in-room construction. The result is a seamless integration of historical structures and modern elements evoking an authentic atmosphere that is at once traditional and contemporary.

Established in 1995 by Armin Ebner, Susi Hasenauer and Stephan Ferenczy, BEHF Architects is an award-winning architectural office located in Vienna, operating at international level.
