The Pirquethof is a council in the 16th Viennese district Ottakring . The building was built between 1929 and 1930 according to plans by the architects Wilhelm Baumgarten and Josef Hofbauer and was named in 1930 after the pediatrician Clemens von Pirquet .
location
The Pirquethof is in the Viennese cadastral community Ottakring . The municipal housing estate comprises a street block bordered by Herbststrasse in the north, Dehmelgasse in the east, Gablenzgasse in the south and Zargorskigasse in the west. The community building is surrounded by several community buildings and residential complexes. Adelheid-Popp-Hof is located in the east, the Schmelz housing complex in the south and Franz-Novy-Hof in the west .
History and structure
The community building, consisting of 16 staircases, originally housed 247 apartments. In addition, a kindergarten, a youth care center and several workshops were set up in the Pirquethof. In the course of the consolidation of apartments and the expansion of attic apartments, there are 239 apartments in municipal housing. Furthermore, the residential complex was equipped with elevators during renovation work, and in 1995 an underground car park with 120 long-term parking spaces was opened. There is a playground in the inner courtyard of the Pirquethof, and the building is also home to the “Franz Schuhmeier” pensioners' club of the City of Vienna.
The Pirquethof itself was designed as a closed block construction around a park-like inner courtyard. The facades were kept simple by the architects and only broken through by sill and lintel cornices on the outside. The cornices combine part of the mostly double-sashed windows to form a band. At the corners of the building, the duo of architects accentuated the facade by connecting two windows with the help of plaster framing, there are also loggias with pillar-like protrusions in Dehmelgasse, an expressionistic portal area in Herbststrasse and a small passage in Gablenzgasse, clinkered with clinker brick. Further design elements in the Pirquethof are simple lattice balconies in Gablenzgasse and a clinker brick field that combines the clubhouse in Zagorskigasse with the entrance to the underground car park. The top floor was loosened up with mansard structures, the courtyard facades with access towers decorated with cornices and wide groups of loggias.
