The magenta glass parapets of the balconies on the south-western building façade provide a striking long side for adjoining Rudolf Bednar Park as well as, due to the ground-floor section resting atop stilts, a “gate” to the park. An unusual trait of the spatial concept for the flats is the development of a sort of “inside houses” extending across several levels and presenting a unique, individual face.

On behalf of Österreichisches Siedlungswerk, a project co-operative composed of two studios designed a themed development geared towards urban professionals (single multi-unit block by the cherry-tree park) as well as senior citizens (line-type building on Attemsgasse). Both structures house a total of 101 residential units, are linked by a shared access zone and subtly correspond in their choice of materials and colour schemes.

On the site formerly occupied by the Carl Barracks in Vienna’s 22nd municipal district Donaustadt, a total of 273 subsidised rental flats are situated in four rows with different building heights and a great variety of flat layouts. The open spaces of this housing development harmoniously integrated into its surroundings are attractively designed all around.

With this project composed of 250 flats in multipart blocks with projecting, spacious verandas, terraces and bays, the architect has created an alternative to closed linear blocks. Light incidence, visual links and optimised functionality are the formal key parameters of a housing project that offers high open space quality despite substantial condensation.

The minimalist concept of this eight-storey residential building provides for a maximum of both housing and open spaces by employing a strict structural grid system and reduced material use. Five loft storeys and three maisonette levels provide for flats extending through the building depth and/or additionally boast projecting, usually deep loggias.

The ellipsoidal residential high-rise situated between Matzleinsdorferplatz and Wienerberg rests atop a rectangular, two-part base that can be used by flexibly subdivided offices.
On the upper storeys, projecting, glazed panoramic bay-type loggias are part of every flat and ensure excellent views.

The unusual, irregular façade apertures resembling pixel graphics result in highly varied effects for the flat layouts, endowing each of the 21 units with an individual mood and view. The excellently appointed lobby allows for crossing directly from the street into the garden.

This project encompassing a total of 146 subsidised rental flats is situated close to Kagraner Platz. Section A is organised as a line building wrapped around the rest of the project, while Section B takes the form of a transversal block with projecting head, large glass panes for the upper storeys and ground-floor tenant gardens. In its turn, the thus encircled Section C is a condensed, low-rise structure accessed by individual lanes.

On a former slaughterhouse site, this housing project and the park in which it is embedded form a new small city quarter in its own right. The structures rest atop stilts, which ensures airy permeability and creates a transition zone to the densely built-up urban area outside, while the transversal block and town villas are characterised by the three-dimensional façade structure of their vertical gardens.
