This low-energy residential building project with ten privately financed condominiums and an office space and shop was realized as a direct commission from a private client. In addition to the top location close to Wienerberg and convenient public transportation connections, the object is distinguished mainly through its optimally laid-out floor plans and the high-quality configuration of the apartments, which have strong references to open space.

On the ground level, there is an office area and shop space. Floor to ceiling windows let in abundant daylight and the steady flow of pedestrians moving between the office complex at Wienerberg and the nearby train station offers great customer potential.

All of the apartments have perforated ground plans allowing daylight from two sides and cross ventilation. Each apartment has at least one, private outdoor space in the form of a garden, loggia, or rooftop terrace. The apartment sizes range from 45 to 155m², the free spaces are between fifteen and ninety m². Ample parking opportunities are provided by an underground garage.

Great value was placed on high-quality interior fittings. All of the kitchens and bathrooms are equipped with top-quality, brand-name products. The living rooms and bedrooms are furnished with parquet floors, the kitchens and bathrooms have high-quality natural stone flooring, and the loggias and terraces feature wooden floors that are flush with the interior space.
