The  residential complex Rüdengasse is part of the redevelopment of Vienna’s Erdberg district. Existing green spaces were specifically linked with new ones and enable an opening to the recreational space along the Danube Canal.

The eight-storey building houses 126 flats with sizes ranging from 30 to 114 m², the total usable living space is approx. 8,300 m².

The reinforced concrete construction of the building was largely supplemented with brick walls on the inside; on the outside facades, clinker bricks with their warm red hue have an identity-generating effect. Broad window areas run over the entire floor height and ensure bright living spaces.
