Vis-à-Vis

Housing, Vienna

In the Village urban development area in Vienna’s 3rd district, the Vis-à-Vis, a scaleable, climate-neutral residential and commercial building made of timber, is currently being realised as a participative project. Its main aim is to show how climate protection measures and multi-storey affordable housing can be reconciled. The Vis-à-Vis can and should be a showcase project for many other urban and social housing projects. The overall concept covers the entire life cycle from planning and design, construction and use through to dismantling.

The eight-storey building will be realised as a solid timber construction from the second floor upwards

1,350 m³ of visible CLTPLUS ceiling elements form an essential part of the structuren. For the north/west construction phase, shear connectors were milled in 47 solid timber ceiling elements in preparation for the 80 mm concrete layer. In addition, over 159 m³ of glulam was joined in the joinery service centre and delivered directly to Holzbau Weissenseer.
