Hundertwasserhaus
The Hundertwasserhaus (Hundertwasser House), designed by Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, stands as a vibrant contrast to Vienna’s historic architecture. Completed between 1983 and 1985, this expressionist apartment complex is a masterpiece of creativity and individuality. Its undulating floors, roof covered with earth and grass, and large trees growing from inside the rooms and balconies make it an architectural marvel.
Next to the apartment complex stand the Hundertwasser Village, transformed from a car tire factory into a vibrant shopping center with a “village square,” reflects Hundertwasser’s philosophy of organic architecture and his rejection of the straight line. It’s a place where visitors can experience the artist’s interior design concepts, complete with a rooftop forest that has grown to house a variety of birds.
