The City of Vienna is very aware of the importance of social housing — which is why it is constantly working to renovate existing buildings and create new residential areas. As part of the modernisation of the building at Obere Donaustraße 97–99, the roof area was extended to create almost 775 m2 of new living space across nine apartments.
The project includes 8 staircases with a total of 204 apartments, 34 commercial units, 5 laundry rooms, and a kindergarten, covering a rentable area of approximately 15,000 m2. New waste disposal and bicycle storage roomswere also constructed in the courtyard to further improve residents’ infrastructure.
Location
Obere Donaustraße 97–99 is located in Vienna’s 2nd district, Leopoldstadt, just steps away from the Danube Canal. This central location offers a balanced mix of urban living and recreational opportunities. Residents benefit from excellent public transport connections, including nearby U-Bahn and tram lines, as well as easy access to the city center.
The surrounding area offers a wide range of amenities such as shops, schools, parks, and cultural institutions. The close proximity to green spaces like Augarten and Stadtpark, along with the recreational paths along the Donaukanal, further enhances the quality of life.
Tools
The 3D building model played a crucial role in helping us understand the complexity of the existing structure. By creating a detailed and accurate digital representation, we were able to identify structural challenges early in the planning phase and develop targeted solutions.
The use of 3D schematics also significantly improved coordination and communication with site supervisors, allowing for more efficient planning, clearer execution details, and faster decision-making during construction. This collaborative approach minimised misunderstandings on site and ensured that all parties involved had a shared visual reference throughout the project.
The newly developed attic space features 9 well-appointed apartments with 2 to 4 rooms, ranging from 61 to 107 m². Each unit has been carefully designed to ensure comfort and functionality. Thanks to their efficient, well-thought-out floor plans, these units offer generous living space suitable for larger families.
All apartments boast breathtaking city views, making them an ideal choice for those who value an urban lifestyle.
