Text description provided by the architects. Fach is a restaurant, café, bar and juice shop housed in a series of spaces situated in Pálffy Palace in the centre of Bratislava. The palace is cantered around two inner courtyards and has been rebuilt several times. Fach is located on the ground floor along Ventúrska Street and Zelená Street around the palace courtyard which is covered by a glass roof. It is a very inconsistent and complex array of spaces marked by five centuries of various conversions. Todays’ palatial three-storey baroque form dates to 18th century when the building was converted by Count Pálffy. However, the ground floor shows signs of Gothic and Renaissance stone walls and vaults and it is clear the palace is a combination of several separate buildings. During the last reconstruction in 2012-2016 the palace was renovated as an administrative building, opening the originally closed frontage to create public use in form of shops and restaurants. The space has not been divided into independent business units.
