Housing Development Hauptbahnhof I - Vienna

The building opens itself up to the surrounding spaces. Encounters become perceptible and visible. An entrance hall is both central axis and identity giving element. Differentiation of spaces and surprising visual connections offer room for creative and artistic interventions.
The 93 apartments are diverse, flexible, and suitable for different age groups and living situations. The easily adapted apartments, with the extra possibility of adding further rooms, simplify everyday life for people with special requirements. A combination of mixed uses (an office or a surgery adjoining the apartments) is possible. In addition, mini-lofts can be rented temporarily for a range of uses.
The plan and spatial organisation is largely kept non-specific. Flexibly suspended balconies, which expand the loggias, ensure private outdoor space. Apartments can, largely, be orientated in both directions.
