Alongside the St. Veiter Straße (Klagenfurt) the building – formerly known as the chemical cleaning service “Eberwein”– is located between other Gründerzeit houses. The building was originally constructed in the 19th century and had been vacant since 1991. In 2017 the property´s new owner (BKS Bank) started its collaboration with Architektur Consult to work on different concepts for a new utilization for the building. One of the biggest architectural goals was keeping and restoring the building´s historical parts from the 19th century while adding contemporary elements to create a space that fits the modern standards. When a potential rental tenant could be found in 2018, the intensive planning process started.
