The Red Emma (Rote Emma) is a variety of potato. Inspired by its red-skinned namesake, which used to be grown on these grounds, the concept of the residential quarter in Vienna’s 22nd district puts the focus on regional and social rootedness. Creating practical everyday residential quality, the project, realized as a movable quarter, is informed by three core ideas: First, the design provides for residential units to be allocated an extended stretch of façade with an extra window, which, inside, translates into the possibility of partitioning off a flexible-use extra room. Second, the balconies in the Red Emma estate were built into fully functional green open-air spaces which, with windbreaks and planter troughs, are an ideal outdoor extension of the own four walls. Third, spaces with a varied mix of cultural, social and commercial offerings were created at the ground-floor level, which importantly contribute to urban community life. Aside from public institutions such as the local adult-education center with an additional event venue, a kindergarten, or a flower and a grocery store, the plinth area with a uniform ceiling height of four meters also comprises spaces for communal use with washing facilities and access to open spaces. Moreover, each building's upper floors accommodate stroller storage rooms as well as separately rentable coworking spaces. The buildings have freely accessible rooftop gardens, which take their cue in typology and use from local agriculture and whose greenery compensates for the built-up footprint of the development. Pergolas fitted with photovoltaic panels offer retreats shielded from the weather and spaces for urban gardening: The produce harvested here can be sold socially sustainably on the ground floor. The buildings have been erected as hybrid constructions with wooden exterior walls, which significantly contributes to resource efficiency and circular economy principles. So that is what she is like, the Red Emma: environmentally sensitive, close to nature, grounded.
Red Emma takes its very name from the respect of what was there before it. An ensemble of timber-hybrid housing buildings with a strong commitment to not just ecological but also social sustainability.
