Set high above the city on top of a mid-century building originally designed by architect Georg Lippert, this holiday home rental in Austria is an ingenious addition to an existing structure that is a smartly streamlined installation for the modern traveler. Just steps from the central train station, the Kunsthaus, and a short walk from the old town, the rooftop apartment features panoramic views of the city, the iconic clock tower and Schloss Eggenberg.
Designed and installed by architect Werner Aisslinger, the prefab cubist form was created off site and placed via crane onto the roof and its sprawling sun terrace, making it the highest private suite in Graz. Completely self contained, the structure is molded into a soft organic form that nestles neatly into the wood decking. Brightly lit from all sides by floor-to-ceiling windows, the interior is a space of elegant simplicity offering a one-of-a-kind experience and absolute privacy.
Designed for two with a breezy uncomplicated style, the bespoke furnishings and innovative design are calibrated for effortless comfort and luxury without excess.
A novel idea of forward-thinking design, this unique hospitality concept is the perfect modern nest high above the city.
