Fünf Freund*innen | Social housing

Housing Developers Competition – Attemsgasse, 3rd prize
GABU Heindl Architecture with Sophie & Peter Thalbauer Architecture | Vienna 2020

This social housing project is about planning luxury for all: affordable subsidized apartments with loggias, adaptive floor plans and shared infrastructure such as community spaces, garden courtyards, a soccer field, laundry rooms, a bicycle repair shop, and of course a 25 metre long swimming pool on the roof! The rooftop swimming pool has become a symbol of the high quality of social housing in Vienna.

Together with the limited-profit housing associations EBG and Siedlungsunion and partnership with Sophie und Peter Thalbauer Architekten and the support of many consultants we participated in the developer competition Attemsgasse in the 22nd district. With a total volume of around 300 subsidized housing units, special attention is paid to planning for everyday life use and quality, taking into account diversified housing needs and interests as well as different age and user groups.
