The Hundertwasserhaus, completed in 1985 in Vienna, is a vibrant and unconventional public housing complex designed by artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser in collaboration with architect Josef Krawina.
Hundertwasser’s vision challenged traditional architecture, rejecting straight lines and uniformity in favor of organic shapes, bold colors, and a connection to nature. His philosophy allowed residents to express individuality, reflected in the unique design of each window and the building’s flowing, irregular surfaces.
The complex includes 52 apartments, 16 terraces, and over 200 trees and shrubs, integrating nature into its structure. Hundertwasserhaus stands as a symbol of eco-conscious design and individuality, influencing architecture worldwide, from Germany to Japan. It remains a key attraction in Vienna, celebrated for its playful yet environmentally aware approach to urban living.
