Hundertwasser

Motorway Restaurant, Bad Fischau

1989-1990

2721 Bad Fischau, Austria

The WIGAST AG of Vienna, under Chairman of the Board Günther Wöss, resolved in 1986 to ask Hundertwasser to assume the task of redesigning the restaurant, which had been built in the seventies. The renovation was intended to attract more visitors and thus increase turnover.

Before that, the WIGAST AG had negotiated with several other architects, whose designs, however, had entailed that the restaurant be torn down and a new one built. In contrast, Hundertwasser wanted to preserve the existing building fabric.
