House Havana Tobacco Factory Linz / Kaltenbacher ARCHITEKTUR + STEINBAUER architektur+design

The "House Havana" – listed as a monument - is located near the Danube promenade in the industrial ensemble of the tobacco factory in Linz. It was built as a tobacco warehouse in the 1930s according to plans by Peter Behrens and Alexander Popp. In the mid-1960s, the storage building was increased and the area in the south and in the north in front of the building was built over. After the demolition of all non-historical-listed components in 2017, there started an EU-wide architecture competition to find ideas for new use.
