In a quiet location between Brunnenmarkt and Yppenplatz – in the most vibrant yet charming part of Ottakring – a classic Viennese old building is being revitalized in its entirety. Grundsteingasse 8 is not just a renovation project: it is a carefully orchestrated interplay of preserved substance and contemporary extension.
The existing apartments from the ground floor to the fourth floor will be brought up to date in terms of technical, energetic, and design possibilities through a comprehensive base renovation – without losing the Viennese spirit that gives this house its soul. Solid wooden doors in the old Viennese style, wooden parapets crafted with precision, herringbone parquet produced in Austria, and brass fittings in the “Poesie 117” profile continue the character that has shaped this building for generations.
Above it – in the newly developed top floor – spacious residential units with electric roof windows, multi-split air conditioning, and private outdoor areas open up views over the rooftops of Vienna. Here, the architectural language is reduced, clear, modern: single plank flooring in oak, smooth solid wood doors, Tupai fittings in natural aluminum. A conscious placement – so that the new does not imitate the old but complements it.
A newly installed lift provides barrier-free access to all floors, new steel balconies expand the living area with valuable outdoor space, and an ETA pellet heating system with a tank volume of 22 tons supplies the house with climate-friendly warmth through underfloor heating with room-by-room control. It is this connection – out of respect for the existing structure and a consistently future-oriented expansion – that characterizes the project. Completion of the top floor and ground floor apartments is scheduled for the end of Q4 2026.

The 16th district of Vienna has developed into one of the most exciting residential areas of the city in recent years. Between Brunnenmarkt and Yppenplatz, right in the middle of one of the liveliest neighborhoods in Vienna. The Brunnenmarkt, with its daily market activities, starts just a few steps from the front door, while Yppenplatz, with its cafés and restaurants, is a weekend meeting point for all of Vienna. A walkable density of owner-run establishments, bakeries, grocery stores, and daytime cafés that few other districts in the city can offer. The U6 can be reached in just a few minutes on foot, and several tram lines connect the location in all directions. The city center is only a 15-minute journey away, and the Vienna Woods and the heurigen of Ottakring are just a short distance away.
