Haus Portois & Fix, Art Nouveau residential building in Landstraße, Austria

The five-story structure features a facade adorned with green ceramic tiles and Swedish granite cladding at its two-story base section.

Commissioned by furniture company Portois & Fix, architect Max Fabiani designed and constructed this building between 1899 and 1901 as his first project in Vienna.

The facade's ceramic tiles, produced by Zsolnay workshop in Pécs, Hungary, display the construction year MCM (1900) through intricate tile arrangements.

The building combines residential spaces in upper floors with commercial areas at street level, connected by a wooden elevator and ornate staircase.

Metal covers on the windows replicate fabric waves through riveted copper sheets, creating an unusual visual effect on the green-tiled facade.
