House Dellacher
The House Dellacher was built in Oberwart, Austria, between 1965 and 1969 based on the designs by Austrian born American architect Raimund Abraham for photographer Max Dellacher.
The building is a recognized historic landmark and one of the most significant architectural monuments in Austria.
The design follows the traditional regional style with arcades and white facades, but incorporates other influences as well. The dining room avoids the view outside and instead is only lit by a skylight in a reference to Japanese teehouses. There can also be similarities found to Adolf Loos in the wood-paneled niches. The house is designed as a monolith that drifts apart in the middle and in that process creating niches openings as windows.
It has been vacant since the 1990s and was in an alarming condition. Architect Johannes Handler aquired it in 2015 from the previous owner, a local Bank. Restoration began in Spring 2016 in cooperation with the Bundesdenkmalamt and was finished in 2017.
Public events and tours are managed by the society “Das Dellacher”.
