| Hundertwasser Haus - 1988 (A&V) This photo depicts the house soon after construction, and does not yet have the hanging plants and creeping vines. |
The Hundertwasser Haus is located in the Löwengasse neighborhood of Vienna. (A&V) This complex was designed by Freidensreich Hundertwasser, who was traditionally a painter. Construction took longer than expected, but was finished in September of 1985. (Czedzik)
This building is primarily designed as housing, but it is not a standard apartment. The land is owned by the city of Vienna, and it is rent subsidized. This does not denote it wholeheartedly as public housing, as it has an internal Co-op structure. This gives the residents say in the modifications of their living space. The space is well visited by tourists, as the Hundertwasser Haus has become one of Vienna's iconic structures.
