trans_city is an office for Architecture and Urban Design.

Our practice always takes the larger social context into account; we believe that the built environment should benefit all those who live in and use it. Our working process respects the needs and interests of the many, diverse actors – from households to neighborhoods, from investors to contractors – who are affected by the projects that we conceive.

What we create out of this process are inventive floorplans and innovative systems of construction for the basic building blocks of the city: projects for housing, for schools, and for small businesses.
And, with an eye on the larger urban fabric, trans_city also develops ecologically responsible and socially sensitive city planning, which thoughtfully configures these building blocks within the urban realm.

Although we are international in in our origins and experience, 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.

Our ambition is to make intelligent and beautiful architecture affordable for everyone in the city.
