DC Residential, Vienna (AT)

The site of the DC Residential residential complex in

Vienna’s Donau City is extraordinary: the New Danube in

the front, residential and office towers in the back and the

Danube bank motorway below. The slab over the A22

motorway serves as a foundation and its cavities also

house cellars and technical rooms as well as the building

access from the underground car park. In order not to

seal off the bank from the surrounding area, the slender

structure is oriented with its narrow side towards the

Danube. The height restriction to four storeys preserves

the view of the Danube from the significantly higher

buildings behind it.

The elongated bar rests on a straight plinth, clad in deep

black aluminium, housing garden apartments. Above,

three living floors rise with sawtooth-like open oriels and

balconies, which allow all apartments a view of the

Danube. Wave-shaped, white parapet bands emphasise

the striking facade structure and provide an elegant

contrast to the black walls. Exterior curtains offer optimal

privacy and sun protection and lend the building an airy

summery flair, matching its location on the waterfront.

The pedestrian entrance, located on the Marcel-Prawy

Promenade, leads directly into the foyer. The central

staircase gives access to a total of 63 apartments and the

roof garden. Skylights at both ends accentuate the long

central corridor and create a high-quality, attractive

entrance to the apartments.

The apartment typology consists mainly of 2-room

apartments with approx. 40 m². Recesses in the partition

walls allow for the later merging of apartments. At the

front sides of the last floor there are two 4-room

apartments each with internal access to the private roof

terrace. The rest of the flat roof will be greened as a roof

garden.
