Ohlmüllerstraße

A uniform building height links the buildings across the openings. The pitched-roof motif supports the cohesion additionally with the listed fragment of the Zacherl brewery and links the facility with the valuable, protected environment. The roof shape and the uniform eaves height form the connecting starting point for the formulation of separate building shells with rooftop landscapes full of character. The cubatures of the houses are created as discrete forms between the individual courtyards. Due to their form and differing depth, they demonstrate a wealth of apartment sizes and layouts as well as apartments stretching from front to back, individually orientated according to their position and size.

To define the courtyards in a city density, the individual buildings are in places very close together. However, the formulation of the floor plans and the orientation of the individual apartments not only ensures lighting and ventilation, but also the alternation between narrowness and wideness and different exterior space situations can be experienced. This complexity gives rise to the impression of urban diversity and breadth.

The differentiated courtyard sizes enable different space sequences – from the public street space through the new urban area to the widened square and the connection to the primary pedestrian and cycle paths along the Auer Mühlbach (a local river).
Small groups of trees support the different atmospheres of the courtyards and give them rhythm. The peaceful urban order is also mirrored in the clear spatial sequence of private and public spaces.
