Energiebündel (2015-2021)

Regina Freimüller-Söllinger

Neu Leopoldau, 1210 Vienna

The „Energiebündel“ places its focus on the interest of people in sustainable living styles. Its flexible, affordable and temporary extendable spaces meet the needs of the young target group. The inhabitants are encouraged to bundle and implement their ideas of an aware use of resources in this surrounding.
The setting of the new buildings refers to the historical urban context of the former Gas Work Neu Leopoldau. The ensemble creates a distinguished edge to the northern future park area.
Various shaped balconies and loggias and the playful arrangement of openings shape the differentiated appearance of the facades. Different access structures and typologies activate different social energies – each building becomes an individual energy type.
The design of the main landscape elements – the hollow and the platform – allude to the former industrial use of the site. These open spaces are synergistically interwoven with the buildings base levels by common rooms and rentable pop-up-boxes. An open cascade staircase connects the public space with the urban gardening area on top of one building.
The Energiebündel was awarded “IBA project 2022” and the Award of the City of Vienna “gebaut 2021”.
