Hundertwasserhaus
A colourful apartment building designed by artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, with wavy floors, onion domes and trees on the roof that break the straight lines. It is Vienna's most playful piece of architecture.
Hundertwasserhaus was designed by the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser and completed in 1985. It is a municipal housing block that is still home to residents. Its facade is a patchwork of colour, its windows are all different shapes, and trees grow on the roof and balconies. The ground undulates, expressing the philosophy of harmony between people and nature. The residential areas are not open to visitors, so you can only admire and photograph the exterior. Opposite, Hundertwasser Village has shops and cafés. The Hundertwasser Museum, known as the "Art House Vienna", is a 5-minute walk away, with admission around 15 euros. Tram line 1 stops at Hetzgasse.
