This article discusses a 2025 renovation project in Vienna that reimagines an apartment complex built in the 1960s. The design addresses the challenges of renovating perceived 'unattractive' housing typologies through the careful integration of existing structural elements. Utilizing a central sanitary infrastructure, the project incorporates a new plywood-clad box, creating a spatial cross that facilitates adaptable living spaces. By optimizing interior design, including multifunctional elements like sliding doors and creative use of existing structures, the project explores how well-being can be achieved with minimal resources, questioning modern living standards.
The design intelligently renovates a 1960s apartment by using existing elements to create multifunctional spaces, emphasizing resource efficiency in response to housing demands.
Instead of inventing something new, this renovation looks for existing principles that can be continued, effectively adapting outdated typologies for modern living.
