The striking T-Center St. Marx was designed and built by architect Günther Domenig. Completed in 2004, the project has 119000m² of usable floor space and contains offices for 3000 employees. Unusually proportioned, the building can be described as a reclining structure 60m high and 255m long with a 40m wing cantilevering out. From a town-planning perspective this building represents the first step in the development of a new district on the site of the former St. Marx abattoir and cattle sheds. The T-Center St. Marx is not only an office building for its owner, T-Mobile, it’s also a large sculpture. Architect Domenig wanted to create a 280 meter long horizontal skyscraper and ended up with what is quite possibly the most unique office building in Vienna.
