FUX may be small in size, but its objectives are generous and substantial. This project for supervised communal housing provides recently arrived, unaccompanied refugee minors with a place in Vienna that they can call home. By offering opportunities for shared activities as well as places for private re-treat, FUX becomes a supportive home base that helps these young people adapt to their new city.
The building's layout supports its unusual program and connects to its heterogeneous urban context.
The house’s eight individual bedrooms are located on the second, uppermost floor of the building. A shared living room, with a kitchen and a suite for the counselor, is found on the building's first floor. A large private balcony, cantilevered deeply over the front yard, is set in front of these common areas. The ground floor contains a community room that is shared with the adjacent public housing estate, and a broad open passage, which connects the courtyard of the estate to the public street.
FUX mediates between the differing scales and building styles of its richly contrasting surroundings: Vienna's heteromorphic, rapidly developing XI District. The design uses precise massing and tactilely alluring materials to integrate itself harmoniously into Fuchsröhrenstraße's existing, charmingly ramshackle row of 19th century houses and stalls.
Towards the street, the building expresses itself as a powerfully articulat-ed and sculptural form, whose various edge points correspond to the fronts and heights of its neighbors. Seen from the courtyard of the adjacent housing estate, the building’s front appears as a planar surface, which is carefully interlocked with the housing estate’s outbuildings to create a single, integrated composition.
The facades are clad in iridescently stained, larch-wood siding; the undersides of the passage are rendered in stucco. The cladding's haptic edges and shimmering surfaces stand in an agreeable dialog with the surrounding mi-lieu.
