HOUSING IN VIENNA
Innovative, Social and Ecological. The successful model provided by
housing policy in Vienna its history and the path into the 21st century
Dear readers,
Vienna, the federal capital of Austria,
is famed throughout the world for its culture and hospitality but also for its commitment to environmental protection, for
its high level of social security and excellent
quality of life. Our city regularly achieves
top rankings in eminent international
surveys on the quality of life in major
cities. In the Mercer Study 2007 Vienna
took third place worldwide and rst place
within the European Union. Viennese
housing policy has made an important
contribution to these excellent results;
after all, satisfaction with ones home is
usually intrinsic to the quality of life.
6
In our city not only is there a long and successful history of social housing, urban renovation,
too, is carried out in a socially reasonable way.
Using the funds of the Vienna housing subsidies system year after year thousands of affordable and high quality dwelling units are
erected and the renovation of thousands of
existing apartments is subsidised. This makes
a wide range of reasonably priced, high standard apartments available to the people of
Vienna. The construction of subsidised new
buildings is tied to strict economic, ecological and architectural criteria. In this way the
city ensures the construction of affordable
apartments that meet exacting climatic and
environmental standards and offer high levels of domestic quality and comfort. By
taking the internationally acclaimed path of
gentle urban renewal rents remain reasonable, even after comprehensive renovation work has been carried out, and the
residents affected are not forced to move

velopment introduced in 1923 that was staggered according to the size/s of the homes
concerned. Accordingly, a simple working class
apartment was taxed at an average annual
rate of 2.083% of its pre-war rentable value,
this went up to 36.4% for luxury homes. This
marked increase is what distinguished the
nancing of public housing in Austria from
that of other European countries.

This estate addresses the issue of integrated living for immigrants from various
countries with a mix of 50% native Austrian and 50% immigrant residents as part
of a special integrative housing programme.
The estate comprises 112 rented apartments extending along a narrow, elongated
north-south oriented site in Vienna-Simmering. The apartments in the block are
reached from open access decks that link
to the spacious circulation cores of the
compact buildings (2 apartments per oor
or staircase). Elevating the building resulted
from the basic urban planning intention of
cross-ventilating, as it were, the elongated
development at pedestrian level by means
of open links to neighbouring green spaces.

U 3. Garden Settlements
With the projects of what has been
termed the New Settlers Movement, the
aim was to continue in the tradition of
dense low-level housing estates in the
urban fabric providing a broad range of
different homes to counter encroaching
suburbanisation. The first competitions
were held by the developers themselves
in 2005, examples here being Paulasgasse
(Geiswinkler & Geiswinkler) and Orasteig
(Stelzhammer, Knig, ppag architects).

Am Hofgartel 16/Paulasgasse 13, 1110 Vienna
The four rows of the complex three running west-east, one north-south with 65
dwelling units consist of two-storey terrace
houses stacked on top of each other, the
units on the upper level, to which planted
roof gardens and adjoining loggias have been
allotted, are reached from covered access
decks. As the building is set back from second oor level the side wings also receive
sun in winter, ensuring screened outdoor
spaces, optimal views and the maximum exploitation of sunlight for the residents. The
reinforced concrete load-bearing structure,
complemented by the use of prefabricated
inll timber elements for the external
walls, allowed a low energy concept to be
implemented despite the large areas of
glazing. Additionally, the use of prefabricated
timber elements also means that the loggias
and covered seating areas can later be easily
converted into indoor rooms.

Close to the historic core of Stammersdorf, on the edge of the vineyards, a loose
development with around 430 dwellings
is being constructed as the outcome of a
developers competition that was based on
the theme of the new settlement movement. Three low building elements dene
a central square with the aim of creating a
compact neighbourhood. The circulation
system based on short routes as well as
the individuality of the apartment types
(different types of oor plans) produce a
small-scale but yet ordered development
structure, well suited to the particular location on the periphery of the city. The entire
settlement area is designed so that it is, for
the most part, free from trafc, allowing the
creation of different kinds of communal and
green areas. In the tradition of the classic
1920s model of developments on the urban
periphery planting beds are laid out for all
the tenants.

The new districts to the south of the city
are similar in character to the major development zones: Wienerberg City (master
plan by Massimiliano Fuksas) with terraced
buildings and high-rise apartment buildings, Monte Laa on the slab across the
motor way (Masterplan Hans Hollein/Albert
Wimmer) and Kabelwerk, where a new
participatory model was put to the test. In
addition there is Gasometer City, one of
the largest and most spectacular adaptation projects in Europe and containing
about 600 apartments.

The streamlined faade of this 135-metrehigh tower with 363 apartments that was
developed on the basis of wind canal studies to counteract the noise of the wind gives
the building its striking appearance. The
two sides of this tall vertical slab that differ
in terms of horizontal and vertical curvature
are staggered with respect to each other.
This produces continuous apartments at
the free ends of the building that receive
light from 3 sides.

On the former KDAG grounds in ViennaMeidling a new city district has been created on the basis of a cooperative planning
process that is so far unique in Vienna. It is
neither a theme development in the standard sense, nor a mono-functional housing
development. In what is called wraparound-architecture for the rst time in
recent planning history of the city the urban
gure rather than the individual building is
dominant. The architecture wraps itself, so
to speak, around the dened public space
that shapes the urban image. The entire site
is a car-free zone and places richly varied
spaces for life (plaza, cultural activities etc.)
at the disposal of families.
The entire complex is characterised by a
mix of different category space and types
of architecture from terraced housing
to high-rise and, alongside almost 1.000
homes, contains a comprehensive urban
infrastructure: shops, restaurants, kindergartens, a rooftop pool, a public park, a home
for the elderly, and direct access to two
Underground stations etc.

The abandoned four-storey local administration building for the former ViennaMeidling district courthouse was extensively
refurbished. The architects corrected the
disparity between the volumes by retaining
the street-facing tract and progressively raising the levels around the courtyard tract in
receding terrace-like steps, which not only
makes sense in delineating different usage
but also provides more daylight and numerous outdoor areas. The ofcial existing
substance was hollowed out, re-insulated
and adapted for living purposes. A new terraced building was erected with reinforced
concrete on the courtyard tract, which had
been demolished up to rst oor level. The
low ceiling heights compensate here for the
loss of surface area. A total of 21 homes
were completed. The premises rented to
a club for pensioners on the ground oor
were planned in close collaboration with
the district authorities as well as with the
Kuratorium der Wiener PensionistenWohnhuser.

friendly construction site in Europe at
Thrnlhofstrasse (Reinberg, Thalbauer), the
RUMBA project (Richtlinien fr umweltfreundliche Baustellenabwicklung guidelines

erection of buildings, for instance by
reducing delivery traffic, the careful

The important functions of the three staggered apartment buildings (each with 27

with 6 apartments), as well as all wet areas
such as kitchens and bathrooms were incorporated in the concrete core, against which
the solid timber elements of the four-storey

homes must be affordable for all Viennese, though. Good architecture for living space needs to be of a high standard
in the future, too, while still representing
good value for money. This means that it
is essential to continue providing public
housing subsidies and grants and to keep
developing the system, so continuing to
substantiate Viennas role as a mother
town for public housing in architectural,
social and environmental terms.
