A multi-story loggia building is being erected between the park and the city to create social housing spaces.
With only minimal intervention the building is being converted from a faceless Modernism to the classic Viennese architectural tradition.
Despite its urban location, the grounds of the former barracks have a spacious green area with a rich stand of trees.
This serves as the starting point for the architectural design, with generous, light-filled structures that pay special attention to the transitions from inside to outside.
