trans_city is an office for Architecture and Urban Design. Our ambition is to make solid, intelligent and beautiful architecture affordable for everyone in the city.

We use imaginative planning and innovative construction to design the basic building blocks of the city: housing, schools, small businesses. We apply ecological sensibility and social sensitivity to develop urban master plans that integrate these simple building blocks into the complex fabric of the city.

When we plan, we take the totality of the social context into account. We believe that the built environment should benefit all those who live in and use it. We reflect upon and respect the interests and needs of the diverse actors that are involved in any project – not only investors and contractors, but also households, neighborhoods, and the public at large.

Although trans_city is active on the international stage, the focus of our work is Vienna, a city with an illustrious architectural tradition. For us, it is a home base, a source of inspiration and a laboratory for design, all in one.
