This project transforms a former industrial and now unused area of considerable
size close to Vienna’s new main train station into an attractive pedestrian
friendly mixed-use zone.
Historic and contextual references result in a proposal, which works with a
high building density in its perimeter and gradually fewer densities in its
center. The outer ring of buildings protects the inner part of the complex and
just opens up in some occasions forming small entrance plazas. The area is
subdivided into 6 independent development clusters with different percentages
of living, working and retail.
