Villa Primavesi in Vienna

The Villa Primavesi (also: Villa Skywa-Primavesi ) at Gloriettegasse 14-16 in Vienna - Hietzing is one of the most famous buildings by the Austrian architect Josef Hoffmann .

description

The representative building was built between 1913 and 1915 for the industrialist and large landowner and member of the Reichsrat, Robert Primavesi, who was born in Olomouc , and his considerably younger partner Josefine Skywa. After 1945 it was used as a union training center, and at times it was discussed as the Federal President's service villa . BAWAG PSK , a bank that was still affiliated with the union at the time, finally sold the property in 2004 to the aluminum industrialist Peter König , who had the house renovated in accordance with a listed building, but with the addition of an underground car park for his collection of classic cars. It was previously planned to use the property for the Bösendorfer piano factory , but local protests against a planned extension prevented this project.

Hoffmann's Art Nouveau garden has been preserved in its appearance despite a redesign in 1956. It is one of the most important garden architectural monuments in Austria and is mentioned in the Monument Protection Act ( No. 51 in the appendix to Section 1, Paragraph 12 of the DMSG ).
