The Ronald McDonald House project in Wiener Neustadt focuses on creating a comfortable “home away from home” for families with seriously ill children. The design includes four apartments, two of which are barrier-free, as well as communal areas such as a shared kitchen, dining, and living spaces, complemented by private retreat areas like a TV corner and a reading nook. These spaces encourage interaction among families while also offering moments of tranquility. The design emphasizes natural colors and materials that blend warmth with functionality.
Key elements include a custom-made cabinetry unit with storage, a children’s play area, and a cozy dining corner. The communal kitchen is designed to accommodate four families, equipped with modern appliances and a central island that encourages shared cooking and interaction. Retreat areas, such as a reading corner and a home office, provide privacy, while rotating louvers offer flexibility, adapting the spaces for either communal use or seclusion.
