European Bauhaus Prize for Vienna Project "die HausWirtschaft"
In total, over 1,400 projects applied, and finalists in four categories were eventually invited to Brussels, where the award ceremony took place on Tuesday.
Vienna Building Group Project Won European Bauhaus Prize
"The projects we are awarding today show how the New European Bauhaus can help improve the lives of people and communities by combining innovation, sustainability, and inclusion with great design," said Dan Jørgensen, EU Commissioner for Energy and Housing. "Each of these projects will help transform the story of housing in Europe from crisis to opportunity."
"die HausWirtschaft" Combines Work and Living Under One Roof
Opened in 2023, "die HausWirtschaft" in Vienna's Nordbahnviertel combines work and living in a cooperative. Under the term "radical mixed-use," various uses are considered in interplay, and spaces are utilized as optimally as possible. Nine guest rooms in the "HausPension" and the "NordbahnSaal," which can accommodate around 200 people, open the house to a broad audience. "Thus, die HausWirtschaft is not only a gain for the residents but is developing into an open hub for the neighborhood and all of Vienna," said Philipp Naderer-Puiu of "die HausWirtschaft."
Award Ceremony in Different Categories
In addition to "die HausWirtschaft," projects from Spain, Hungary, Estonia, Ukraine, Greece, Lithuania, and Italy were awarded in the categories "Connection with Nature," "Regaining a Sense of Belonging," "Prioritizing the Places and People Who Need It Most," and "Designing an Industrial Ecosystem and Supporting Lifecycle Thinking," with "Rising Stars" also being honored alongside the main prizes.
