The urban development area, Big PEN, is situated in Vienna Penzing on the former Siemensgründe site – the company’s former headquarters. The former Siemensgründe boasts a secluded, green “insular location”, shielded by a large-scale perimeter block structure, creating a park-like landscape in a serene setting. Additionally, the upper floors offer breathtaking views extending far over Vienna and overlooking Schönbrunn Palace.
The terraced plot, combined with adjacent green spaces and the surrounding perimeter block development, allows for the creation of a noise-protected park and garden area accessible to all residents. This unique quality is reflected in each building in a distinct manner. According to the current development plan of the City of Vienna, four buildings will be positioned on the site. Each building will be meticulously crafted to align with the quality of its location and the underlying marketing concept. The result will be an ensemble of separate buildings that collectively form a cohesive and self-contained unit.
