BIENVENUE – A NEIGHBORHOOD OF DIVERSITY
On the site next to the Ankerbrot factory in Vienna's 10th district, a neighborhood was created on behalf of the developers WBV-GPA and EBG that reflects the diversity of its residents and creates affordable living space. In cooperation with three architectural firms and social partners such as Neunerhaus throughout the entire project, an urban design was developed that offers a wide variety of living arrangements in seven building sections: studio apartments, maisonette apartments, microlofts, and residential units for seniors and young people in care.
COMPONENTS 4, 5, and 6 – OPENNESS DESPITE NOISE
The three buildings designed by the architectural firm GERNER GERNER PLUS. – the home (section 4) and the adjacent residential buildings (sections 5 and 6) – form the urban spine of the neighborhood, each with one façade facing the quiet courtyard and one façade facing the sometimes noisy surroundings. Instead of sealing themselves off from the outside world, these buildings deliberately focus on openness: in section 5, a pergola-style design with extended, communal sunbathing areas creates a high quality of living. Section 6 features a lively façade design and a multi-story green base facing the adjacent square. The home has invested in controlled ventilation, which also allows for generous glazing facing the adjacent, busy south-east tangent.
Components 5 and 6 contain apartments of various sizes and types that meet the requirements of subsidized housing in Vienna. All apartments are equipped with private outdoor spaces, which, due to the urban rotation of the buildings in relation to each other, offer views into the distance and an appropriate degree of privacy.
COMPONENT 4 – THE VILLAGE IN THE BUILDING
The residence (component 4) continues the guiding principles of the diverse neighborhood and adds a special feature: 183 micro-apartments with around 22 m² of living space offer students and other interested parties a shared home. The aim was to create living space that was not only affordable but also promoted community spirit within the framework of Vienna's housing subsidy program – with room for both socializing and retreat.
The architecture promotes gradual social communication: private rooms are grouped together into small shared apartments that share an extended living area. Several of these units are grouped around semi-public social rooms that enable interaction beyond the shared apartment. The basic idea was to create the social structure of a village within the building. Spacious communal areas and a sports field on the roof create additional places to meet – embedded in the urban fabric of the neighborhood.
