Weltstadthaus, Modern department store building in Kärntnerstraße, Vienna, Austria.

The Weltstadthaus features clean architectural lines with glass facades and stone elements, creating a contemporary retail environment in central Vienna.

The building emerged from a 2008 architectural competition where David Chipperfield's design was selected among submissions from international architects including Richard Meier and José Moneo.

The structure represents the evolution of retail architecture in Vienna, combining commercial functionality with modern design principles in a historical shopping district.

The department store operates as Peek & Cloppenburg, offering multiple floors of retail space with direct access from Kärntnerstraße, near public transportation connections.

David Chipperfield's winning design creates an architectural dialogue between contemporary retail needs and Vienna's established urban landscape through innovative spatial arrangements.
