Alois Schumacher, Karl König and Adolf Loos – no less than three of Vienna’s most eminent architects were responsible for designing the house at Kohlmarkt 5. Unsurprisingly therefore, it counts among the most impressive examples of late historicist architecture in Vienna. Today, the house divides into exquisite retail units, renowned offices, and exclusive city apartments. And this in the glamorous centre of the Austrian capital.

A Viennese classic
and architectonic masterpiece
The late-historicist Art Nouveau house at Kohlmarkt 5 was designed by the two Vienna-based architects Alois Schumacher and Karl König. Adolf Loos, a master of early Modernism designed some of the storefronts. To this day, the architecture of this classic building is defined by the palisade panelling on the mezzanine.
The upper levels are accessed via two stairwells, which largely represent the preserved originals. Everywhere in the building you will find choice materials: historic tiles, rare types of wood, filigree plaster mouldings on ceilings in rooms up to four metres tall. The technical fit-out meets the latest standards.
True quality of living in a distinguished neighbourhood
Kohlmarkt 1 counts among the finest addresses in town. Kohlmarkt, together with the streets Graben, Tuchlauben and Hoher Markt, is part of the very centre of Vienna.
Located in the immediate vicinity is the Mecca of Viennese gourmets: the Julius Meinl delicatessen. The walking distance to the Goldenes Quartier prime high-street pitch is less than 100 metres. Well-known local institutions are scattered throughout the immediate surroundings, such as the Schwarze Kameel restaurant, the Demel pastry shop, the Schullin jewellery shop, the MANZ’sche publishing and university book store, and the Italian restaurant Fabios. And the Tuchlauben ice cream salon is virtually irresistible to natives of Vienna.
