A subsidised new construction project is currently underway on Bernoullistraße in Vienna's 22nd district. iC is responsible for the overall planning, covering a wide range of areas – from architecture and landscape design to structural engineering, building physics and fire protection to technical building equipment (HVAC, electrical engineering, lifts, BMS), BauKG, BIM coordination and klimaaktiv consulting. The project is being implemented in a joint venture with Arch. Ganahl/Ifsits.
Urban development concept and open space
Three new residential buildings with three addresses form an open, permeable and adaptable urban space. The rectangular arrangement continues existing building lines and deliberately avoids a closed street edge. A recess creates a green forecourt along Bernoullistraße, while the building heights are sensitively adapted to the surroundings. Existing trees have been integrated into the concept and preserved.
Usage, mixing and everyday suitability
A total of around 90 apartments are being built in a diverse mix, organised in neighbourhood clusters across all three buildings. A 9-group nursery is directly integrated into the project and is complemented by commercial space on the ground floor. Above the nursery, apartments are grouped around a multi-storey atrium, which facilitates orientation, encourages everyday encounters and at the same time preserves private retreats.
Digital focus and BIM coordination
A key focus is on digital planning and coordination. Together with CES clean energy solutions, the project is being implemented as a BIM flagship project. Close cooperation in digital building services planning supports efficient coordination, consistent planning principles and high-quality execution – even when many different disciplines are involved.
Outlook
The Bernoullistraße residential development shows how subsidised housing, social infrastructure and digital planning processes can be combined to form a robust overall system. This results in clear advantages for the client, users and operators – from the quality of the rooms to the reliability of coordination during implementation. The overall programme is expected to run until 2028.
