The Palais Coburg lies in the heart of Vienna. It is an architectural jewel. It was revitalised with reverence towards its historic significance, and reopened in 2003. A place to feel comfortable in.
It was a great challenge for all participants: the revitalisation of Palais Coburg. The historic building was built by Duke Ferdinand of Sachsen-Coburg and Gotha on the Braunbastei from 1840 till 1845 - on part of the city defences dating back to the 16th century. In its current form it unites six centuries of architectural history. The modification into a modern hotel, gastronomy and event-catering edifice called for style consistency and sensitivity - from the Obad enterprise too.
Noble yet discrete
In cooperation with the responsible architects and designers, Obad developed a signage system which manages to underline this successful synthesis of historic and modern architecture. It is seldom that golden letters and frames act in such a noble yet discrete fashion as in Palais Coburg. The combination of brass and glass, of gold and white, of solid material and airy transparency make the signs and symbols unique. A result which gives reason for pride - not only the Obad team.
