Die Hauswirtschaft

Die Hauswirtschaft is a cooperative housing project in Vienna, Austria, that combines living and working spaces in a radically mixed-use building. The project is designed to support freelancers, creatives, and small businesses by providing affordable and innovative workspaces. The building, which will house around 250 people, features a coworking space, a bilingual kindergarten, community spaces, a health and feel-good area, a workshop for handcraft, and a shared reception. The project emphasizes sustainability through shared resources, rooms, and services, reducing the need for individual possessions and promoting a circular economy. Participative planning workshops involved all members in designing the building, ensuring a tailored and functional architecture. The project is part of Vienna's subsidized housing program and reflects the city's commitment to providing affordable housing options.
