Karrée St. Marx

The project was designed from the overall master plan down to each construction detail by Geiswinkler & Geiswinkler. An urban wasteland, formerly occupied by slaughterhouses, was the site for this new quarter. An L-shaped block, along the street, and an urban villa can be found floating within a continuous, park-like landscape.
The building typology of a “stacked city” allows a high level of freedom in the plan of the buildings. Two storey “vertical gardens” can, due to the 30cm layer of topsoil, be individually planted, and these shape the terrace structure. Communal outdoor spaces are located on the flat roofs of the individual buildings. The modular plan guarantees flexibility and variable design possibilities.
