Close to Marchfeld Canal at the northern periphery of Vienna and boasting an excellent view of undeveloped, open land, this housing project acquires special distinction through the sophisticated concepts applied by the architects. Modular-type split atriums create a wholly novel style of multilevel living. Good-neighbourly contacts are fostered by targeted community organising via interest groups.
