Wohnbau Niederhofstrasse 6

The residential complex at Niederhofstrasse expands and reinterprets the urban fabric of the prominent corner site in Vienna. This was achieved by constructing a new section of the street and revitalizing the existing courtyard building. The new street wing features a transparent ground floor zone, three upper floors with open spaces carved into the structure, and an attic with a large terrace. The corner of the street wing, adorned with transparent balconies, emphasizes the building’s urban significance.

The design incorporates a Carrara white ceramic facade with a vertical structure, adorned with green cornices, plant troughs, and pergolas, all contributing to an improved microclimate. The ground floor houses a commercial space, common rooms, and a garage, while various apartments occupy the upper floors. Residents have access to a green inner courtyard with a children’s playground. It’s worth noting the resource-saving approach taken, achieved through the renovation of the existing courtyard wing and the expansion of the roof to create spacious terraces.
