Monte Laa, Modern residential complex in Favoriten, Vienna, Austria.
Monte Laa is a residential complex in Vienna's Favoriten district made up of two towers of different heights connected by a horizontal bridge structure above. The buildings contain different types of homes and shared facilities alongside retail spaces at ground level.
The project was built in the early 2000s as part of a major initiative to expand housing options in Vienna's 10th district. Its completion was an important step in providing more modern residential space to this area.
The glazed central area creates a place where neighbors meet and interact throughout the day. This has shaped how people in the area view their homes and their surroundings.
The complex sits at the highest point in Vienna and is well served by public transportation, making it easy to navigate. The extensive retail and communal areas allow visitors to explore different parts of the site comfortably.
The building sits on Laaerberg, Vienna's highest point, where wind presents a unique challenge. The architects used scientific testing to shape the towers and bridge so that strong winds do not affect comfort inside.
