Haas House, Postmodern retail building in Innere Stadt, Austria.

The Haas House features a cylindrical glass projection and marble elements that stand opposite St Stephen's Cathedral in central Vienna.

The site previously housed the Philipp Haas & Söhne department store from 1867 until its destruction during World War II and rebuilding in 1953.

The structure by Hans Hollein sparked discussions about incorporating contemporary designs within traditional architectural settings in European city centers.

The multi-purpose complex contains fashion stores, restaurants, including a rooftop dining venue, and serves as headquarters for Do & Co catering company.

Individual glass panels in the facade tilt outward for ventilation while reflecting the surrounding medieval buildings of central Vienna.
