austrian practices alleswirdgut and feld72 have collaborated to complete ‘herzberg housing’, a development of apartment blocks located in wien, austria. the residential buildings are arranged around a central courtyard and lawn, reducing the scale to mediate the established urban fabric of single family houses. the stepped profile creates diverse upper story terraces provide a variety of outdoor experiences on each successive floor.

interior arrangements vary to accommodate a range of tenants including small and large families and are flexible to add temporary bedrooms and spaces. the green gradient of the facades intends to unify the cluster and provide a unique urban identity within the city.
