A project that started already some months ago is the redesign of an apartment of an american photographer who is a close friend of mine. Now that her children are all grown up and have moved out she felt like starting a new chapter of living there.
The apartment is located in Vienna's Arsenal, which is a former military complex built between 1848 and 1856. The particular building was used as officer's quarters, and now is used as apartments while other parts of the complex now host a military history museum, the rehearsal stage of the Burgtheater and a lot of more apartments. Just arriving at the complex and entering the building is already amazing. As soon as you step inside the building it is totally calm, although you are right next to a huge train station. The courtyard is incredibly peaceful and full of trees and flowers and the staircases and hallways are, due to their former use, totally oversized. But see for yourself.
