The aim of proHolz Student Trophy 2020 is to explore the potential for the densification in the city using wood as a building material. Specifically, the competition is focused on two-storey vertical extensions of 3 existing residential buildings from the 1960s in Vienna. Many cities in Europe have to face the challenges of increasing numbers of inhabitants and a lack of developable space. However, they have many residential buildings from the 1960s and 1970s which have a lot of raising potential, and therefore could contribute to solving this housing shortage problem.
The following points in particular need to be taken into account when fulfilling the task:
Prerequisite is a system solution in wood or timber hybrid, which can also be used for other residential buildings of the same type from the same period
Optimum use of living space, flexible possibilities for usage, compact and carefully considered floor plans, living typology, affordable apartments (30 – 80 m2)
Creating added value for the existing inhabitants by building a storage room for bicycles and prams, as well as additional common areas and rooms of at least 100 m², additional loggias/balconies, elevator access aisles, flights of stairs, etc.
Emergency exit scenarios, barrier-free accessibility needs to be taken into account
Climate mitigation by e.g. greening of the facades and roof surfaces
For an improvement of the existing situation as well as for the development solution, individual apartments or parts of apartments may be “sacrificed” and/or minor selective or planar additions to the existing building may be carried out. The main focus of extending the volume lies on adding another two storeys.
