The special features of this property lie in the diverse range of apartments on offer, which range from small student apartments to a penthouse apartment on the top floor in a south-facing location. Or they can be found in the numerous details and materials. Living comfort and well-being have not been overlooked for the user. Ultimately, it is the combination of all the architectural, technical, and structural components that makes this project so special. The two main colors of the facade emphasize the design concept. The perforated facade facing the street has a darker, earthy green tone, while the inner courtyard appears lighter and friendlier in the same green tone, reflecting the sun. The sharp corners of the building delimit the colored surfaces. The windows in a woody, yellowish tone alternate with the blind fields in between in broom finish plaster with parapet fields. Another contrast or break in the building can be seen in the stairwell. Entering the building from Ehrenfeldgürtel, you encounter raw exposed concrete surfaces on the ground floor of the stairwell, which suddenly change to white plaster surfaces on the upper floors. A railing made of solid dark steel plates accompanies users spirally to the upper floors. This contrast in color and material between the building envelope and the stairwell interior confronts residents with the idea of breaks or contrasts in an additional way.
