Hundertwasserhaus Vienna
Hundertwasserhaus Vienna is one of the city’s most distinctive architectural landmarks, known for its colourful facade, uneven lines, planted balconies and playful design by Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
Hundertwasserhaus Vienna is a residential building and architectural landmark in Vienna’s Landstraße district. Designed by artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser with architect Joseph Krawina, it stands out for its colourful facade, irregular forms, ceramic details and greenery growing across balconies and roof areas.
The building is one of Vienna’s most photographed modern sights, offering a sharp contrast to the city’s imperial architecture. Although the apartments are private and cannot be visited inside, the exterior and nearby Hundertwasser Village make it a popular stop for travellers interested in architecture, design and unusual city landmarks.

A closer look at the planted facade
This angle shows how Hundertwasserhaus uses vegetation as part of the architecture: trees, climbing plants and planted roof edges soften the building’s irregular lines and make the facade feel almost organic rather than strictly geometric.
