Centered between the main train station and St. Pölten University Hospital, a new residential complex in development by the BWS company has 99 apartments, the regional branch of a social welfare institution, and a day-care center. The entire facility is organized to facilitate intergenerational living, with a broad range of different apartment types and — distributed throughout all floors — a variety of communal and open spaces with excellent spatial qualities and communicative character. The ground floor, with apartments facing the courtyard and garden, also includes a shared living flat for senior citizens, office spaces, a social welfare academy, and a daycare in the interior courtyard.
The size and positioning of the windows, together with curved overhangs, creates a visually striking appearance. This characteristic appearance is enhanced by private outdoor spaces situated on alternating floors that result in an interplay of loggias, balconies, and terraces.
