Project
Gudrun Business Apartments
Category
Best Implemented Project of Residential Estate
About the project
Fifty business apartments and six offices were constructed on an empty lot in Vienna. The first phase focused on supporting work for the necessary rededication. In further phases optimal light and noise conditions were achieved by orienting all of the apartments facing South-East towards a more quiet side street. Following the client’s brief of modern temporary living spaces, these affordable micro-apartments offer maximized spaciousness and comfort. The compact floor plan consist of a generous main corridor, a bedroom area, sanitary facilities, and a living space with a pitched roof oriel and a balcony. Minimising the adjacent rooms results in a bright and generous living space that meets the dynamic needs of the future residents. The building's facade is comprised of stacked traditional Viennese Schrebergardens (small, intimate garden communities), expressing a strong character in terms of urban development in a neighborhood characterized by predominantly commercial use.
