Wohnpark Neue Donau

Wohnpark Neue Donau is a residential complex in Kaisermühlen that spans across an eight-lane expressway and houses 850 units arranged in diagonal blocks with views of the Danube. The buildings vary in height and form, with ground floor apartments having private gardens and upper units featuring rooftop terraces with views.

Vienna's city government commissioned Harry Seidler & Associates to build this residential complex between 1993 and 1998 as part of social housing initiatives. The project marked an important contribution to urban development in the Danube area and modern housing culture in Vienna.

The complex displays artworks by Lin Utzon throughout its buildings and continues Vienna's tradition of community-focused housing developments that serve residents from various backgrounds.

The site is accessible by public transit and features wide pedestrian paths with plenty of space to explore. Visitors should note that the diagonal arrangement of buildings can feel disorienting at first, but a central plaza with fountains serves as a helpful landmark for navigation.

A triangular tower rises 100 meters high and combines office spaces with residential units, giving the complex an unusual vertical element. This distinctive shape makes it visible from many points around the neighborhood.
