The project of this guest bedroom is halfway between the minimum, the abstract and the essential. The proposal avoids act on the existing rooms, using only the existing built as a framework and stage space.

The design by heri&salli architects proposes an intervention that retrieves and rehabilitates existing spaces with hardly touch it. The recovery of the details and decoration goes second stage, heri & salli understand the details as the result of the needs and not as an aesthetic result.
Description of project by heri&salli
The architects’ studio heri&salli designed the Viennese Guest Room for the Gegenbauer Vinegar Brewery in Vienna. They created guest rooms in 5 small apartments in a Viennese apartment building, with the bare minimum of intervention. The main and practically the sole piece of furniture is the socalled Viennese Guest Bed.
Piled up squared timbers create a central sleeping area, the surrounding areas can also be used. It combines all of the functions of a guest room, any further furniture is redundant, the centre is the room…reduced to its minimum. We move about on the area available – the surface is the substance. The room is really only its own frame and boundaries …we do not really need these anymore.
Bricks, ceilings, floors are uncovered and make the history of the house visible. New installations like cabling, pipes, chains or ropes are nothing more than what they are. Technological seductions give way to visible construction details – a kind of NEGATIVDESIGN.
As far as the bathroom is concerned, the stages of a stay are reflected in the sequence of the elements that are there – hygiene for nomads. We move about on the spatial field available. Any possible fittings and functions within this are rather temporary markings.

Heribert Wolfmayr and Josef Saller. heri&salli
heri&salli was formed in 2004 by Heribert Wolfmayr (1973) and Josef Saller (1971). They work on spatial drafts and architectural horizons; they work with interventions, bound with surroundings and landscapes which reach their targets in materiality compared with people. By opposites, put into interlinked connections, an architectural idea - as a collection of different substantial barriers and surfaces – reaches its concept and necessity in connection with material, open space and human being. Man as active being always is the reason for possibilities of architectural drafts.
