Hangar 7 at the Salzburg Airport in Austria is the home base for the the flying bulls, an Event space, exhibition hall great architecture, a museum and exhibition hall in one. Built in 2001, it is one of the few extraordinary pieces of modern work in the area of probably the most interesting ancient towns of Europe. The whole building hosts offices, a exclusive restaurant and one of the most exciting bars I have seen (at least from an architectural point of view, since it was not serving drinks while I was there...) |
| The Outside |
 |  |  |
| There are two towers outside of the Hangar, that host the restaurant and the offices. The kitchen for the restaurant is in the cellar along with more offices. The whole outside of the building is made of glass, as well as the gates to the front, that fold in two parts to the side. |
 |  |  |
| There are two equal buildings with a space in the middle for parking helicopters and moving the airplanes in & out. |
| The Inside |
 |  |  |
| The lower structure contains the carrying beams. On the second picture you can see a winding bridge leading up to the restaurant and a door on the first floor of the front gates, no idea however what this is for however. |
 |  |  |
| On the second and third picture of this row you can see a construction hanging on the ceiling. This is actually a part of the bar, that has its main part on above the restaurant on the third floor. |
 |  |  |
| Here you can see a panorama of the bridge from the third floor leading up to the bar with its glass floor. I am not sure how much you cna drink to still make it safely down the bridge... Further, the elevator has a glass ceiling, and the toilet signs are definitely not standard. |
