Goldegg Terraces / Competition 2nd place
Design and concept for a residential complex within the closely defined area of a site in Vienna’s 4th district. The plan achieves a high degree of differentiation between the three freestanding, slightly trapeze-shaped buildings, taking into account the open spaces and the visual interaction with the perimeter block development dating back to the Gründerzeit. Thanks to sophisticated setbacks and an adapted cubature, each of the 98 planned apartments, which boast highly varied floor plans, have access to a spacious, private outdoor area and make the best possible use of natural light (from at least two or three sides). The new complex provides top-quality residential space for a wide range of needs: from flats for singles to flats for families, from apartments with spacious balconies, terraces or gardens to multifunctional units that could also serve as temporary work spaces.

Goldegg terraces - competition, 2nd place
BWM Architekten and the firm’s project partner uma Architektur were the runners-up in a private competition for apartment buildings in the center of Vienna. The assignment was to develop an overall plan and a design for new apartments on the former site of Bestattung Wien (a funeral services provider) in Vienna’s 4th district. The terraced design of the three freestanding, elongated buildings creates wide, open spaces in between and allows for the optimal utilization of natural light.
Thanks to the staggered terracing of the individual buildings, each of the 98 planned apartments have their own spacious, private outdoor area. The variable layout typology developed for this project makes the residential units highly versatile.
