Housing ÖBB Neues Landgut Vienna

The "ÖBB Neues Landgut" residential development is intended to create a unified, identity-forming ensemble of two connected buildings around a communal courtyard. On the one hand, it blends harmoniously into its surroundings and, on the other, offers high residential qualities that ensure a good and liveable environment for future residents. The layout of the floor plan and the upwardly recessed stepping of the building volumes on the courtyard side create a gesture of opening to the south and upwards. The opening to the south allows the residential ensemble to be integrated into the surrounding neighbourhood. The opening upwards leads to high-quality natural light entering the lower areas and the courtyard and thus to a high quality of stay in the courtyard area.

The flats vary in size and are orientated towards all points of the compass, offering a wide variety of flats and diversity. The orientation towards the railway is seen as an identity-forming element. The north-west-facing flats have a ventilation/cooling system so that the rooms can be ventilated in summer without opening the windows. Some of the flats have specific floor plans that take into account the requirements of shift work.
