Vienna - first prize
This site in an exclusive residential area in the Viennese district of Hietzing includes a 1500m² private park and is situated 2.7m above street level. A young family with two children is building a house which, at any time, can easily be divided into two units with separate entrances and two separate stairways. The site is confined to the street via a wall. Behind that wall a partly covered entrance courtyard appears and a first view across the lobby shows a lowered garden. While the view is ushering deeper into the house, the path is changing direction, loops to the stairs and leads to the upper living area above the main garden level.
