Gasometer City…Unique Architecture in Vienna

Most of the architecture in Vienna is ornate, with Gothic, Baroque Gasometerand Greek influences, many buildings dating back to the 1600s.

One of the most unique residential developments, which breaks from tradition, in Vienna, is Gasometer City . Originally built during the late 19th century as four round, brick, gas storage tanks, which stored all of the gas for the city, the tanks sat abandoned for many years after natural gas was piped into the city. Rather than being destroyed, some innovative architects designed a self-contained, multi-use complex using the four gas tanks as the exterior walls for the new development. I was fascinated, as I toured “tank after tank”…what a great idea!

The interiors were removed and rebuilt to include 254 flats, 76 student residences, office space, retail and entertainment. The four tanks were connected by walkways and the interior spaces are large, open atriums. Gaso_meter

This highly successful development project, close to the Prater, was completed in 2001 at a cost of 150 Million Euros. With great access to the city via the U-bahn, It has become a popular place to live outside the center.
