Housing for Single Parents / Clemens Kirsch Architektur

closed

Good neighbourliness and opportunities for social exchange are particularly important for single parents. Therefore, the desired compactness of the flats is complemented by a generous offer of communally used rooms.120 years after Otto Wagner & Max Fabiani, the Viennese theme of the tile façade is revisited: The outer shell consists mainly of vertical, light green tiles (split tiles) in combination with a plaster façade of the same colour. As a fresh contrast, the balcony balustrades were executed in salmon colours to give the building a Mediterranean lightness.Text description provided by the architects.The area of the former Siemensgründe in the west ofViennais being developed as a new residential quarter (approx. 530 units) on several building sites. Among them is the „Orchidea“ component, which is intended for subsidised housing for single parents. 124 compact flats on 8 floors are grouped around an inner courtyard open to the south.For single parents, clarity is important. vvThe flats are cut in a way that allows you to keep your children in view while cooking, homeworking or relaxing.A deep-cut, fully glazed winter garden ensures that there is always a visual connection, and the room can be used as an additional living room / „joker room“ / climate buffer (winter garden, office, guest room, etc.) all year round. Fixed curtains can be used to visually separate individual rooms and room areas to ensure the required privacy.
