Kaufhaus Gerngross

Kaufhaus Gerngross sits at Mariahilfer Str. 42-48 and was completed in 2011 to serve as a shopping mall over an existing building. To improve this, the layout of the indoor levels (G, 1st, 2nd, and 5th) has been entirely re- designed and smaller retail spaces have been added. The key to designing the individual levels was to think “empty” in order to enable the future implementation of an improved orientation system. Walkways were complex and confusing, and it was difficult to navigate. Visiting hours are listed as: Mon-Wed, Sat (9.30am-7pm), Thu-Fri (9.30am-8pm).
