This modern residential building is situated in the Wienerwald (Vienna woods), a
recreational area north of the city of Vienna. The slope property enables the
residents to get a good view over a hilly and wooded landscape. The residential
building stands out through its rural environment and its immediate proximity to the
urban office buildings of the Danube City Vienna.
The folded house combines two elements: The serpentine line gives the
impression to create more space. The building enables the residents to enjoy the
surrounding landscape with room-high windows to the south. The colour white
emphasises this leading element. A protecting wall on the north side completes the
folding of the room. The vertical development – realised as a light notch along the
whole building – combines both elements. The light notch adds more light by
additionally leading vertical daylight into the building and therefore enables a quick
orientation.
