Sanatorium Purkersdorf, Modernist medical building in Purkersdorf, Austria.

The Sanatorium Purkersdorf features clean lines, large windows, and three functional levels dedicated to physiotherapy, social activities, and patient accommodations.

Josef Hoffmann designed the sanatorium in 1904 for industrialist Victor Zuckerkandl, establishing a new direction in Austrian architecture through its minimalist approach.

The furnishings created by Wiener Werkstätte craftsmen reflected the Viennese Secession movement's integration of art and daily life in early 1900s.

Located in a wooded area near Vienna, the building currently functions as a nursing home following extensive renovations completed in 2003.

The sanatorium's original design eliminated traditional ornamental elements, introducing a revolutionary concept of medical architecture focused on light and spatial efficiency.
