The Villa Beer in Vienna, built in 1929–30 by Josef Frank and Oskar Wlach, is a key work of Viennese Modernism. The aim of the renovation was a sustainable, heritage-compliant concept that preserves historical qualities and meets modern museum requirements. In cooperation with Svenskt Tenn, the rooms in the attic were equipped with Josef Frank interiors and will be available for an artist-in-residence program in the future.
