SHORT TERM HOUSING - ASPERN VIENNA

Short term housing akin to a hotel is drawn up as a housing for people who come to Aspern for work or recreational purposes. Part of this project is to not only design functional apartments, but to also pay attention to important functions associated with a hotel such as a restaurant, lobby with a reception desk, gym, rentable spaces for shops, a sky bar and also a laundry and a common room. The housing complex is divided into four blocks which are rotated in respect to each other by different angles and which are connected by outdoor concrete stairways. Another important aspect of the design is the facade with its angled window jambs. The windows represent eyes looking out into the world, each in a different direction so as to capture all the important vistas around the hotel.
