Description of the project: 

A sequence of parallel building volumes differentiated in terms of scale utilises the large building plot d12 in the south-eastern part of the seestadt aspern the staggered layout creates different kinds of courtyard-like spaces and a variety of visual relationships the various parts are connected to each other by three rows of access decks that run in a north-south direction these three circulation routes offer a varied spatial experience provided by a sequence of light-flooded staircases internal corridors and open access decks onto which communal terraces are docked the serial, linear basic structure offers great flexibility in laying out very different types of apartment and consequently allows a good mix of residents articulation the strong articulation of the building volumes creates a lively south-facing open space that offers a variety of spatial relationships the inner courtyard is a semi-public zone that forms the common heart (canyon) of the complex, which is connected to the pedestrian zone and is surrounded at ground floor level by the communal rooms the edges of the ground floor zone are formed by a two-storey multi-functional ring the maisonette units in the plinth zone which are moved back three metres from the road, provide space for a wide variety of options a flowing and reversible change from office to residential use is possible landscape and space what is known as the canyon, an area with several changes of level and seating steps at the heart of the complex offers all the residents an opportunity to meet there and experience community it serves as an encounter space and a playing area for young people at places the wooden cladding lining the walls of the ramp grows out of the wall and forms sloping surfaces to lean against or clamber up

structure and ecology the prefabricated wooden walls are produced in the factory at an ensured high level of quality using native wood and wood-based materials, with stone wool as insulation. thanks to the high level of prefabrication and speedy assembly on site the impact on the environment as well as the amount of noise, dust and fumes can be minimised.

the concrete frame allows freedom in designing the façade and permanent flexibility in the floor plans all the ducts are concentrated in a clearly defined zone of ancillary spaces beside the circulation
