Hundertwasserhaus

Hundertwasserhaus, located in Lowengasse in Vienna, is the artistic creation of Friedensreich Hundertwasser. This building was constructed by Peter Pelikan and Joseph Krawina in the 1980s. Hundertwasserhaus, one of the most visited Vienna attractions, presents 52 apartments, 16 private terraces, 4 offices, 3 communal terraces and as many as 250 bushes and trees.



The building has a roof, which is covered with grass and earth. The facade of Hundertwasserhaus of Vienna is colored in primary colors in chequer board format and has ceramic cladding and onion domes.

A characteristic feature of Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna is that it has undulating floors. The building features large trees, which extends from the windows, growing from its rooms. It is said that Friedensreich Hundertwasser did not accept any remuneration for the construction of this building because he thought that the building was worth constructing. He believed that by creating Hundertwasserhaus at Vienna he had prevented any unpleasant building to rise at this site. It is noteworthy that this unusual creation, which seems to be grandeur of art, has become an intrinsic part of the cultural heritage of Austria.
