Schütz Art Museum

Neutral white setting the stage for works of art

When designing the private museum to house the collection owned by Josef and Irene Schütz, Architekturkantine’s Thomas Blazek took his lead from the works of fellow architects LeCorbusier and Richard Meier, combining modern white with the principles of feng shui. The layout of the building is firmly anchored in a grid based on the number 9, which is highly significant in Chinese numerology.

The museum serves as a backdrop for the works of art on display, which is why it has been finished in a neutral white. The combination of the StoTherm Cell façade insulation system with the mineral-based external render featuring Lotus Effect technology reduces the adhesion of dirt particles and helps to preserve the white appearance of the façade over the long term.
