Situated on the edge of Vienna’s Floridsdorf District, where city meets the countryside, ASG | Housing in Anton-Schall-Gasse is low-cost / high-touch architecture that combines affordability with a precisely formulated and strikingly sculptural solution for an extraordinary site.
To the north of the parcel on Anton-Schall-Gasse lie the wooded pastures that surround the Marchfeld Canal, a waterway built in the latter 20th century for agricultural irrigation. To the south lies the Ernst-Theumer-Hof – a very charming, 1980’s housing-estate with a long, green common at its center. The composition of ASG’ s two distinct, differently sized blocks form an apex for the Theumer-Hof and delineate a strong, clear edge towards the park-like pastures.
The project develops out of this park-side edge. Its long, northwest facing front is given a serrated facade to optimize natural lighting and provide views. This saw-toothed configuration becomes the organizing principle for the estate. It generates an offset-grid that locates structural axes, subdivides space, organizes the sky-lit corridors, and creates distinctive floorplans with an unusually high ratio of exterior wall to floor space. Sets of curved balconies – extrapolated from the grid – provide the apartments with outdoor space and lend the architecture its expressive note.
Exact planning and the application of cutting-edge building technology reduced construction costs for the building's shell. Exterior carrying walls are built from robot-assembled, prefabricated brick walls, and the project's grid is precisely coordinated with industry standard dimensions for poured-in-place shuttering.
The economical construction of the building’s shell is enriched by high-quality handwork and detailing. The precise, flowing curves of the balconies arise directly out of the saw-tooth logic of the apartments’ floorplans; their surfaces are rendered in a combed stucco that plays in the light. Subtly contrasting, alternating bands of smooth and combed stucco accentuate the sculptural lines of the building. Patterned surfaces of glazed ceramic bricks highlight the buildings entries and enliven the central court of the ensemble.
ASG | marchfelder terrassen may be low-cost housing, but it embodies a site-sensitive approach to building that defies the limits of affordability to create an architecture of exceptional urban quality and remarkable livability.
