Gundi und Franz (2018-2021)

Regina Freimüller-Söllinger

Gundackergasse 23 & 25, 1220 Vienna

Small pathways wind their way along the existing green corridor that connects the building site with Aspern Seestadt, Himmelsteich and Gedenkwald.
The buildings layout follows this landscape in parallel lines. Rows with punctual structures alternate with linear rows. The orientation of the buildings and their twisted balconies create playful and varied open spaces in between. The differentiated building envelop and the changing transparency of the railings contribute to this diverse appearance of the site.
Particular consideration was given to the design of the corners as connecting elements. Wrap-around balconies and corner glazing create a special light atmosphere and provide amazing views to the surrounding landscape.
The entrances that are accentuated by bends and cuts lead to spacious foyers and staircases flooded with daylight till the lower levels. Different typologies and flat sizes provide a variety of living spaces for all generations, for individual living styles as well as new housing cultures. Each flat in the ground floor has its own private garden, separated from the public space by pasture and perennial.
Gutters and low patches in the landscape design make the water cycle visible and provide habitats for a variety of animals and plants – a vivid living environment is created.
Gundi & Franz was awarded with “klimaaktiv bronze” and “gebaut 2021” Award of the City of Vienna.
