Georgina, Julian, Dick, Anne and Timmy. The Famous Five are individualists and each has a different talent. At the same time it is striking how strongly interconnected they are. Because as a team they share a common code that shapes their identity.
This principle of community defines the design for the quarter in one of Vienna’s outer districts. The five buildings offer a loose mix of residential and communal space, shops, restaurants and a range of parking options. The zones between the buildings are suitable for a variety of communal uses, including play areas for children, a garden and atmospheric open spaces.
The grid structures that are placed in front of all the façades also act as trellises for climbing plants. The same applies to the pergolas that connect the buildings at two levels and create additional areas of greenery. As a result, the quarter becomes a green urban oasis in which the community can flourish.
