Apartment &Office Building
Schlachthausgasse,
Vienna, Austria
Following the closure of the Mautner Markhof Children’s Hospital in Vienna’s third district in 1998, COOP HIMMELB(L) AU won the limited design competition for a new building to occupy the vacant
6,000 m² space. The architects suggested conserving the valuable trees along the Kleingasse and set two slim building volumes in line with the Schlachthausgasse to return the urban block into its previously defined form. The remaining part of the property along the Kleingasse forms a garden yard which is acoustically separated from the busy Schlachthausgasse. The building complex contains 82 dwellings and approximately 12,000 m² of office space with underground parking for 260 cars integrated into the sloped surface towards the Danube and allowing for access at almost the same level from Schlachthausgasse. The above ground, 6+1 storey building is individually differentiated by sculpturally protruding building components with special room programs which make possible an optimisation of the internal sequences of functions, as well as
making better use of daylight. In the “Head Building” oriented to the south, a 450 m² basement youth centre with its own meeting rooms is fully integrated into the building. Completed July 2005.
