The city of Vienna is renovating and expanding the Wien Museum on Karlsplatz, which opened in 1959 and was designed by Oswald Haerdtl. The building will be developed into a modern city museum with more exhibition space, functional rooms for events of all kinds and gastronomy.

The unique feature of the supporting structure design is that the architecturally connected building consists of a building construction with two separate building elements: the existing building and a new building consisting of two storeys.

The large cantilever length is made possible by two storey-high steel trusses located on the shorter sides of the inner courtyard and a ring-shaped, point-supported steel truss anchored in the building shell of the fourth floor.
