nominated for the best private plots 2006

the idea of this smallest possible innerurban open space is the visual enlargement of a perfectly renovated fourth floor apartment, which is located in a typical vintage building in the old part of vienna. the newly added french windows - facing in a south-easterly direction - tell three classic garden stories. strolling through the apartement, the residents´ view passes three garden rooms: the meadow-garden, a rural flower-experiment, comes into view first. its neophyte plants will spread their seeds among the garage roofs which are situated below the planters, and therefore widen the garden to a larger scale. at the same time, this type of arrangement will be symbolic for the „wild“ part of the urban apartment space.
