VIENNA HOUSING AWARD 2024 // Leyserstrasse Social Housing - 06.06.2024
At this year’s award ceremony for the 2024 Vienna Housing Award, the Quartier Breitensee in the 14th district of Vienna was named winner. Part of this new residential development is the Leyserstrasse townhouse, built by O&O Baukunst in collaboration with Gangoly Kristiner Architekten.
The awards were given to subsidised housing projects “that have innovative and sustainable features ahead of their time, thus setting the bar for future construction projects. The award highlights excellence in housing built in Vienna that simultaneously meets needs and is affordable,” says housing councillor Kathrin Gaál.
“An open city quarter with highly diverse urban uses was created on the former barracks site while blending in with the surroundings. The way the magnificent tree population of the open space has been preserved by developing it into a park that is accessible and usable for the public is very special," states the jury.
