High-quality open spaces and a diverse range of paths, squares, and communal areas characterize the multi-generational residential complex Werft Zirkuswiese in Korneuburg. In the middle of the complex, a green courtyard with seating invites residents to linger, while the stepped, ring-shaped roof terraces feature urban gardening and a spacious sun terrace with a view of the Danube. Inside the building, communal areas, studios, and multi-story corridors create space for socializing and informal exchanges.

Internal organization

The apartments are accessed via four stairwells in the inner corners of the perimeter block development. Alternating light openings in the interior corridors of the northwestern and southeastern wings of the main building divide the corridors spatially, bring daylight into the lower floors, and create visual connections across floors.

Apartment types

While the main building consists exclusively of single-story apartments, the freestanding building to the southwest features duplex apartments to avoid having apartments that face only northeast. Skylights in the roof provide these duplexes with natural light down to the entrance floor. The use of maisonettes also makes it possible to reduce the access areas in the detached building to a minimum: while the apartments on the ground floor are accessed directly from the outside, the apartments above are accessed via a single corridor on the first floor.
