Gerngross, a Viennese shopping mall rich in tradition, had gotten a bit worn around the edges and needed some renovations.


The essential goals of this modernization project were to significantly improve customer orientation, transparency, openness, and the staging of retail space, as well as to create new lines of sight and to improve the building exterior by creating a nearly logo-free façade.


The renovation had to be carried out without interfering with the commercial operation of the shopping mall and without altering the existing structure (statics, floor slabs and infrastructure).
