Eating is a visual experience. Nowhere else is this more evident than at the Steirereck restaurant in Vienna. The team led by Chef Heinz Reitbauer delights guests time and again with their high-quality culinary creations at this gourmet temple, which has been awarded three Michelin stars since 2025. Online reviews also consistently praise the special ambiance at Steirereck. This feedback also pleases us at Pagitsch, as we were heavily involved in the new construction and expansion of this top-class restaurant in Vienna's third district in 2015 with acoustic chilled ceilings.

The work in detail:
• New construction and extension of the restaurant area, including restrooms
• Acoustic chilled ceiling – acoustic chilled panels arranged in a pointed shape for ceiling bends
• Round acoustic steps
• Cooled acoustic perforated ceiling at various heights in the entrance area
• Incorporation of glass panels for wine cooling
• Sloped ceiling with a three-dimensional look in the restrooms

PRECISE SCHEDULING IS CRUCIAL FOR GASTRONOMY PROJECTS

Pagitsch is an experienced construction partner for the hotel and restaurant industry. In this sector, it is particularly important to adhere precisely to schedules, as every day of delay means a day less opening time and costs businesses money. In the hotel industry, renovations often take place during the off-season, while in the restaurant industry, the rule is simply: the faster, the better!

At Steirereck, the entire planning and implementation had to be completed within a month. This was a particular challenge due to the highly detailed nature of the project. 26 ceiling levels required precise installation at 80 fixed points. More than 1,300 molded parts were manufactured to recreate the waves on the ocean surf. Every other wave had to be equipped with LED lighting, and acoustic plaster had to be sprayed on. However, the Pagitsch specialists mastered each of these challenges with flying colors.

CREATIVE DESIGN, PLEASANT ACOUSTICS, PERFECT CLIMATE CONTROL

The result combines three strengths of Pagitsch GesmbH in ceiling construction: creative design, ceilings as a key element for optimal room acoustics, and the climate effect of chilled ceilings in drywall construction. Especially in a top-class restaurant, a pleasant indoor climate is essential to the overall experience – Pagitsch ensures a pleasant indoor climate throughout with its chilled ceilings. Chilled ceilings are therefore an important service provided by this Lungau-based flagship company in the field of plastering and drywall construction.

If you also manage a restaurant or hotel business, follow Heinz Reitbauer's example and rely on Pagitsch for your next construction project. Our wide range of construction services makes us a sought-after partner when projects need to be handled smoothly from a single source, rather than by many different trades. This avoids interface problems caused by working with different partners. An overview of our portfolio of services can be found at https://pagitsch.at/leistungen.
