Atelier Thomas Pucher has won the first prize in the invited competition “Wien Viertel Zwei Plus”- Construction site 2.

The site is the meeting place of different urban moods, green areas and built areas, the historic part and the modern city – it is a dynamic instance of the modern patchwork city.

The design should accommodate this unique situation and turn it into an exciting architecture. Our design loosely arranges round-structured buildings to open countless lines of sight between the adjacent districts. The result is an urban porosity and design that is a host between the neighbourhoods.

The round shape of the houses grants each apartment several view directions. Each apartment is a "Corner Flat“ with optimal exposure.

A ring of different terraces such as French balconies, raised beds, terraces and two-story loggias surround the apartments, and maximize the residential quality of the zone.

When completed the project will have a total floor area of 23.500m² divided into 7 houses with 4 to 10 storeys and approximately 201 apartments as well as a business start-up centre with office space.
