Extraordinary Bubble Facade of Hotel Topazz by BWM Architekten und Partner

BWM Architekten und Partner have designed this unique facade of the Hotel Topazz in Vienna, Austria. The facade absorbs and reflects the natural light, ensures that this building – on one of Vienna’s smallest building sites – is a real eye-catcher. The design is characterized by striking elliptical window openings that jut out slightly. This unconventional, distinctive treatment of the facade gives this round-cornered building a sense of weightlessness and elegance as well as an unusually physical presence within the fabric of Vienna’s historical architecture.
