Spittelau Viaducts
Address
Spittelauer Lände
1090 Vienna
Austria
.
The project is part of a revitalization initiative undertaken by the
city of Vienna for the Wiener Guertel, an over-dimensioned,
ring-formed slice through the urban fabric. The site is formed via
the culmination of densely overlapping infrastructural elements:
the “Spittelauer Leande” is one of Vienna’s most highly traveled
roadways; the Danube Canal connecting Germany to Hungary. The
housing is built along the Donaukanal, over Otto Wagner’s
elevated metro viaduct.

Vertically Landscaped Housing
Address
Hardtmuthgasse 68
A-1100 Vienna
Austria
.
On a corner plot in Vienna, Geiswinkler & Geiswinkler Architekten
built a compact block of 17 apartments. Balancing the high
density of the project are the spacious communal amenities on
the ground floor (workshop, hobby room, children?s room), the
public roof garden and the private ?gardens? in front of every
living room. In order to bring coherence to the large façade
areas, including the curved soffits of the loggias, the architects
opted for a corrugated aluminium sheeting that could be applied
without seams. The result is powerful and homogeneous. But it?s
an unconventional choice of material for a residential project
where brick, wood or concrete tend to be the preferred option.
That surprise effect is precisely what the architects were aiming
for. In choosing corrugated aluminium they were also setting
themselves the challenge of showing that a material they claim
usually evokes negative associations can deliver an elegant
building with a congenial atmosphere.

Housing at Kaiserstrasse
Address
Kaiserstrasse 68
1070 Vienna
Austria
.
This intervention involves an interesting compacting of the dense
city since it takes over the traditional inner patio of the 19th
urban development and considerably increases residential and
population density in an already dense area. The authors of the
work explain the goodness of the building, whose most debatable
aspect is its outer façade.

Students Guest House at the
Viennese University
Address
Molkereistrasse 1
A-1020 Vienna
Austria
.
This hall of residence is added to an existing block. The insertion
of student residences in consolidated fabrics of cities, where
housing costs hinder this group of the population from easily
finding housing, promotes the rejuvenation of these kinds of
neighbourhoods while bringing up the residential density. This
students guest house will be used to host 278 Erasmus students.
It is the first Viennese 'Passiv house'. The façade design is based
on a single window type bringing natural daylight into the
students apartments. The technical infrastructure of the building
consists of a mechanical ventilation system, which is based on
geothermics and heat recovery.

LEE Residential Housing
Address
Leebgasse 46
A-1100 Vienna
Austria
.
This is a housing block with an open plan and essentially
organised shell: the living division of which can be freely chosen
by the client. The orientation of the house can be decided by
whoever uses it. Morning sun, afternoon sun and a new
orientation are all possible. The service spaces are all compactly
organised in the core, which makes room for an enormous
bathroom. An elementary, comfortable window bench invites you
to take a seat. This bench lies on the same level as the balcony.
Sunlight streams in through the elevated timber balcony deep
into the house.

Paltramplatz Residential Building
Address
Paltramplatz 7
1100 Vienna
Austria
.
The appearance of the Paltramplatz Residential Building is that
of a crisp-edged cube into the matte black surface of which an
irregular relief pattern of ribbon windows and loggias have been
embedded. These windows and loggias make the compact
monolith seem like a cabinet with drawers that can be pulled out
at will. The apartment building with its 22 units fills the gap in
the heterogeneous fabric of its surroundings in an utterly natural
and unspectacular way. Forming an exciting contrast to the static
tranquillity of the basic shape of the building is the trapezoidal
cantilevered, rotated-off-axis, dynamic roof construction. Here,
holes have been made for illumination purposes. This perforated,
polygonal shed roof seems to hover over the building, creating an
original and distinctive closure.

T-Center St. Marx
Address
Rennweg 97-99
1030 Vienna
Austria
http://www.t-mobile.at/unternehmen/daten_fakten/t_cente
r/index.html
.
The striking T-Center St. Marx was designed and built by
architect Günther Domenig. Completed in 2004, the project has
119000 m2 of usable floor space and contains offices for 3000
employees. Unusually proportioned, the building can be described
as a reclining structure 60m high and 255m long with a 40m wing
cantilevering out. From a town-planning perspective this building
represents the first step in the development of a new district on
the site of the former St. Marx abattoir and cattle sheds. The
T-Center St. Marx is not only an office building for its owner,
T-Mobile, it's also a large sculpture. Architect Domenig wanted to
create a 280 meter long horizontal skyscraper and ended up with
what is quite possibly the most unique office building in Vienna
(text from Princeton Architectural Press and Michael Hierner).

Branch Bank Building
Address
Favoritenstraße 118
1100 Vienna
Austria
.
The functional interior space of the Branch Bank Building of the
Z-Bank in Vienna can be read from outside. The interacting,
half-storey displaced floors are summarized in one single room,
which connects the out-and-inside with its overhanging 'mouth'.
Veins of movement and rest areas are determing the general use.
The municipal use in the upper floors is elevated - 'the house with
the kink'. The shape of the roof is adding up to the whole of the
building and links the sky to the ground. Concrete, steel and
metal are the dominating materials. Each material appears in the
way it was manufactured. Construction and technical
installations are displayed open. All of these architectural
elements are part of the design, linked to the whole appearance
of the building and also to the neighbourhood. The interaction of
these parts is resulting in the complex unity of this kind of
architecture (text from website architect).

Residence Steigereiland
Address
Edmond Halleylaan 46
1086 ZV Amsterdam
Netherlands
.
This residence in Amsterdam is energy-neutral and is build
according the cradle-to-cradle principles. The CO2-reduction will
be 100% and is realized by bringing the house to a passive house
level with an insulation value of Rc=10 using triple glazing, 100%
liquid-tight joints and heat exchangers. The insulation materials
are organic. The integrated photovoltaic cells in the roof line and
the wind mill and PV cells generate enough electricity to supply
both the nominal electricity demand as well as for the heating of
the water.
