“THE ROCK” is a brand new hospitality constructing designed for Radisson´s not too long ago launched way of life hospitality model, Radisson RED. The lodge, which is the primary of its form within the German-speaking area, might be discovered at each a bodily and social junction in Vienna’s 2nd district. The semi-public constructing homes 179 rooms, an occasion house, a publicly accessible rooftop bar, and terrace, a courtyard, a restaurant, and a gymnasium.

The positioning is located in a well-visited space amongst a row of notable highlights alongside the Danube Channel. The design method positioned a powerful give attention to public expression and communication, leading to a person form and id. Architecturally, a complimentary rigidity exists between the facade’s common raster of enormous home windows and tectonic folding likened to that of a rock formation primarily based on numerous influencing parameters.

The folds observe website restrictions, allow gentle to achieve neighboring buildings and the road, and visually provoke the constructing’s full of life interplay with the general public. This alternate is fostered by an nearly bodily connection to the Schottenring metro station, instantly in entrance of the lodge.

Cantilevering barely over a row of home windows beneath, it clearly signifies an distinctive house meaning to work together with the remainder of town. The structure´s notion can be transferred into the design of the highest ground, the place a light-weight, floating textile ceiling, unfolding tent-like into the bar house, blurs the boundaries between indoors and open air.

The white, rhombus-shaped aluminum cladding, exactly folding across the edges, merges exterior partitions and the roof into one homogeneous quantity, emphasizing the unified, rock-like nature. Gold-bronze, barely mirrored home windows prolong outdoors of the facade, offering solar safety.


On the within, they grow to be items of furnishings on their very own, having the peak of a bench and turning into “dwelling home windows,” speaking with close by individuals and buildings and inspiring remark. On this method, even the home windows have a delicate method of connecting with exterior public house.
