Out & About: Townhouse Neubaugasse
The guided tour through the Townhouse Neubaugasse project highlights the efficient transformation of urban space. A historic Viennese courtyard becomes the scene where architecture and nature merge in a slender building. The tour illuminates the design across 11 levels, ecological roof terraces, and energy concepts enhancing the microclimate.
Townhouse Neubaugasse
The Townhouse project is conceived as a hybrid genesis between house and garden and is situated in a narrow courtyard in Vienna’s historic 7th district. The building is 4.6m wide and 24m long and is an extension to a 150 year old house. It is divided into a grid of 20 square fields whose spatial manipulation in section results in a myriad of windows, spatial intersections and terraces, offering daylight and panoramic views. The building has 165 square meters, 11 levels, and 16 varying room heights. The entire built area of the house consists of cascading roofs and terraces that are interconnected by a series of single-flight steel stairs ascending from the garden, resembling airplane steps. The landscaped roofs feature trees, water-retaining plants, lawns, and vertical green spaces, contributing to a cooling effect on the microclimate of the house and courtyard.
