Housing ÖBB Neues Landgut Vienna
Sustainable and identity-forming city life
The "ÖBB Neues Landgut" residential development is intended to create a unified, identity-forming ensemble of two connected buildings around a communal courtyard. On the one hand, it blends harmoniously into its surroundings and, on the other, offers high residential qualities that ensure a good and liveable environment for future residents. The layout of the floor plan and the upwardly recessed stepping of the building volumes on the courtyard side create a gesture of opening to the south and a gesture of opening upwards. The opening to the south allows the residential ensemble to be integrated into the surrounding neighbourhood. The opening upwards leads to high-quality natural light entering the lower areas and the courtyard and thus to a high quality of stay in the courtyard area.

Diversity of use
The flats vary in size and are orientated towards all points of the compass, offering a wide variety of flats and diversity. The orientation towards the railway is seen as an identity-forming element. The north-west-facing flats have a ventilation/cooling system so that the rooms can be ventilated in summer without opening the windows. Some of the flats have specific floor plans that take into account the requirements of shift work.
Living close to nature in the city
In terms of open spaces, biodiversity and a natural lifestyle in the city are supported: Through the use of natural materials, attractive, near-natural open space design, contiguous green areas and enclosure-free zoning. Integration into the overarching green and open space network is accorded great importance. By opening up the courtyard to the street, a connection to the outside is created. The connection to the cycle path network in the north-west is also taken into account.
The design of the embankment in the north-west along the railway embankment is conceived as a near-natural play and exercise area. The courtyard does not have a basement and has a near-natural design with large earth cores and extended root space using the sponge city principle. The roof areas have extensive green roofs. The open spaces directly assigned to the flats offer a high degree of privacy due to their design as loggias.
