ASP J3D - Housing + Kindergarten Aspern Seestadt
Wien, Austria
In this design, an innovative building complex forms a new element of Seestadt Aspern with 77 residential units, a kindergarten and a great view of the southern side of the lake. Essential for the planning was the application of various key notes:
These include not only an economic use of the existing area, but also the consideration of a subtly articulated appearance of the building elements. In addition, the balustrades of the balconies have been adapted to the stepped appearance by using different heights and material colors.
The balcony strips of exposed concrete are laid out in different depth and basic shapes on each side of the building complex. As a result they create different appearances, matching the 3 different apartment types in each of the 7 upper floors.
In addition to the green space of the area, a generous green open space including a children’s playground, is located on the west side of the property.
The flowing look of the facade is extended with double shadow gaps. These makes an additional contribution to the transformation of the housing construction into an important visual link to the immediately adjoined residential projects.
The facade, with its subtly structured appearance, represents an unique position with a high recognition value. The apartments with French windows are furnished to a high standard and, thanks to the generous terraces they have an extraordinary relation to green and outdoor space including a view of the lake of Seestadt Aspern.
