housing Theresienhöhe

In this project, residential buildings were constructed on top of the former exhibition centre underground car park, which resulted in structural constraints: on the one hand, a commitment to the 16-metre grid, and on the other hand, the need to achieve vibration decoupling between the new buildings and the existing car park.

The three different-sized house types are structurally similar, with the flats on the ground and first floors mostly organised as maisonettes. With an allocated front garden facing the street, a garden facing the courtyard and a basement replacement room accessible directly above the flat, these function like single-family homes. The actual "basement rooms" are located on the first floor and are accessed via pergolas.

A wide variety of apartment types are offered on the upper floors. Sliding walls break up the relatively narrow constraints of the apartment sizes: movable walls allow for spaciousness and flexibility in the smallest of spaces.
