The subsidised residential building at Kreitnergasse 36 in the Ottakring district of Vienna was designed in an L-shape and arranged around a courtyard. This means that it has two completely different exteriors: While the main façade facing Kreitnergasse is homogeneous and continuous, the courtyard side with balconies, oriels and external spiral staircases offers a varied sequence of projecting architectural elements. Each residential unit has either a glazed bay window that brings additional light into the flats or an open space in the form of a balcony or a garden on the ground floor. Some of the flats on the top floors have their own roof terraces.
