450 flats, 5 communal spaces, a midwifery practice, city forest
The “Kapellenhof” in Vienna’s 22nd district offers affordable housing with a high quality of life. A perforated block perimeter with a spacious inner courtyard is reminiscent of traditional Viennese municipal housing. Bright rooms, far-reaching views and green spaces are offered by the apartments whilst the courtyard in the heart of the complex is an open playground, offering fluid transition between areas of retreat and places that encourage social interaction. Courtyard-facing entrances together with communal rooms and terraces complete this inviting ensemble. A raised plinth, that grounds the body of the building, the stringent structure of the French window, polygonal balconies and the colorfulness of the different architectural elements create homogeneity in a heterogeneous environment.

Living in Lans 2030 is more than just living
In search of the future of its village, Lans has launched an ambitious competition. The town with currently just over 1.100 inhabitants and at the same time in direct proximity to Innsbruck, combines the advantages and challenges between town and country almost prototypically.
We are planing a new neighborhood here – not just a residential area, but a lively quarter in which we will continue to think the vernacular structures that have evolved.As in a village centre, similar houses around a common area form a place to live and to work.

67 subsidised flats and 1 communal space around a communal courtyard
Eight houses in wood hybrid construction form an ensemble around a green inner courtyard. With the existing listed building the different dimensions and orientations of the buildings allow a variety of views of the surrounding mountainscape and strengthen the character of a grown village. An underground car park keeps the majority of the settlement car-free. The central inner courtyard with its playground as well as the new neighbourhood square are available to the entire neighbourhood as well as the residents. In addition to the varied open spaces a common room promotes living together within the settlement and beyond.

The urban concept is a continuation of the comb structure, defined in the urban planning model of Prohaska / Hoffmann. The project has the aim, despite the heterogeneity of the construction law requirements, to create and strengthen a sense of togetherness and a feel of commonality. The regular technical scope (utilization of the plot) is optimally utilized in favor of all the residents (and neighbors), made artistically visible and livable felt. Special attention in terms of building modeling and program is made because of the importance of the public entrance in the Kirschblütenpark.
