Karl Steiner has moved its architectural practice into a newly renovated studio and workshop.

The building, originally constructed as a commercial warehouse, has been adapted with minimal structural intervention. Existing columns, floor levels, and openings have been retained wherever possible.

The new studio is organised around a central working area with direct access to the workshop.

The upper level contains the main architectural workspace, meeting room, and library. The workshop below provides space for physical models, material studies, mock-ups, and prototypes.

A dedicated material library forms part of the everyday working environment.

Stone, timber, metal, glass, plaster, and other materials are stored alongside samples collected from completed projects. Rather than functioning as an archive alone, the collection is continuously used during design development.

The new studio also provides space for internal reviews, lectures, and meetings with collaborators.

The renovation reflects the practice's wider approach to existing architecture: retain what is useful, remove what is unnecessary, and introduce only what is needed.
