The co-living program was examined in more detail as the best solution for the 60s building and its structure. Based on literature review followed by the analysis of case studies and the application of the results on the design proposal the question: how can 60s office buildings in central locations within the city of Vienna be made suitable for co-living? is answered. The conversion ensures the continuity of 60s buildings, whose location is very suitable for a residential building. Moreover, is the conversion cheaper than demolition and new construction and also more sustainable. The co-living model perfectly fits in the small offices from the 60s to accommodate apartments for single and two-person households, which are increasing. The thesis shows that the structure of 60s office buildings is very suitable for a wide range of residential programs. The best option is a residential model with apartments for one or two people, as they fit best into the small spaces. Moreover, the conversion into a residential building is a very good option for 60s office buildings to preserve the building but not to let it decayMACHINE-GENERATED CONTENTS NOTE : 1 Introduction..........................................................................................................................4 1.1 Aim .............................................................................................................................................. 5 1.2 Methodology............................................................................................................................... 5 2 Housing.................................................................................................................................7 2.1 The development of Vienna........................................................................................................ 7 2.2 Population of Vienna .................................................................................................................. 9 2.3 Change of the housing situation ............................................................................................... 10 2.4 Co-Living.................................................................................................................................... 13 2.4.1 Definition...................................................................................................................... 13 2.4.2 Living in co-living .......................................................................................................... 15 2.4.3 Examples of co-living.................................................................................................... 18 3 Offices.................................................................................................................................27 3.1 Cellular office ............................................................................................................................ 28 3.2 Change in the way of working................................................................................................... 30 3.3 Conversion of office buildings into residential spaces .............................................................. 34 4 CaseStudies........................................................................................................................38 4.1 PhilsPlace from Weichenberger Architects............................................................................... 39 4.2 Hotel Daniel from Atelier Heiss Architekten ............................................................................. 45 4.3 Lyoner Straße 01 from Stefan Forster Architekten ................................................................... 55 5 DesignProject.....................................................................................................................64 5.1 Location of the ÖBB office building .......................................................................................... 64 5.2 ÖBB office building from the 1960s .......................................................................................... 67 5.3 Design proposal ........................................................................................................................ 70 6 Conclusion..........................................................................................................................81 7 Bibliography........................................................................................................................83 8 ListofFigures......................................................................................................................89engAdaptive reuseSpaces for livingCommercial spacesThesis
