HoHo Wien, Timber high-rise building in Seestadt Aspern, Vienna, Austria.
HoHo Wien is an 84-meter-high tower with 24 floors built from prefabricated wooden elements and concrete composite ceilings in Vienna's Seestadt Aspern. The structure combines residential units, a hotel, restaurant, wellness center, offices, and conference rooms in one building.
Construction of this timber high-rise began in 2017 and was completed in 2019, marking a turning point in sustainable urban development. The project demonstrated that modern architecture using wood as the primary building material is both feasible and economically viable.
The building reflects philosophical concepts in its spatial design, with different areas representing elements from Eastern thought. Visitors notice these ideas in how spaces are arranged and decorated as they move through the structure.
The building sits near the Seestadt metro station, making it easy to reach by public transportation. Visitors will find multiple facilities for dining, staying, and working in one location, serving as a complete neighborhood hub.
The building saves energy equivalent to heating homes for over 1,000 years thanks to its innovative timber construction. This long-term efficiency comes from choosing sustainable materials during planning and building.
