pEN76 — Vienna (A)

On the one hand, the former Siemensgründe are characterised by their green „island location“. Shielded by a large-scale perimeter block structure, there is a park-like landscape in a quiet location.

The terraced plot with the adjacent green spaces and the all-enclosing perimeter block development allows the development of a noise-protected park & garden area for all residents. This quality is reflected in each individual building in a very individual way.

Four buildings will be placed on the site according to the currently valid development plan of the City of Vienna. Each building will be worked through according to the quality of its location on the one hand and the underlying marketing concept on the other.
The result is an ensemble of individual buildings that nevertheless form a self-contained unit.

Garden Frames:
The centrally located H-shaped structure is characterised by its lively façade structure of differently formulated loggia frames and balcony projections in front of each individual room of the structure.

Say Hello!
The southern entrance building to the park is reminiscent of Italian old towns: colourful cantilevered blinds and balconies that seem to approach each other create a dense, lively and communication-oriented street space.

ZickZack:
The direct neighbour of Say Hello! with all-round, zigzag-shaped balcony panels and movable, large-scale screen elements that change the external appearance of the building depending on the position of the screens. The screens not only serve as variable privacy and glare protection, but also allow the interior of the flat to grow outwards – creating an intimate, tent-like interior space on the balcony.

Serious:
The western entrance building is organised in split levels and has flats that are largely interspersed, some of which also have several levels. Its façades are characterised by generous loggias. These can be closed off to form conservatories.
