Hundertwasser: Hundertwasser House
  • Tip Rating:
  • Everyone knows about the Gaudi houses in Barcelona. But had you heard about this one (actually, there are more than one places in Vienna designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser). There's a shopping place/bar right across, you cannot miss it - even if you don't buy, drop in for a look.

    Hundertwasser: Kunsthaus Wien and Hundertwasser-Haus
  • Tip Rating:
  • Painter Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928 - 2002) had bought the former bentwood factory Thonet and remodeled it in his own characteristic style. Today, irregular elements of glass, metal, bricks, wood and ceramic tiles in many colors give a unique character to the formerly inconspicuous building. Opened in 1991, KunstHausWien houses a permanent Hundertwasser exhibition on two floors and two additional floors are devoted to changing exhibitions. On the ground floor, there is a café-restaurant and a shop. Not far from KunstHaus, you will find the so-called "Hundertwasser-Haus" , Vienna's most original public housing complex. Daily 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Guided tours Sun and public holidays 11 a.m. and 12 noon. (tel. 712 04 95-12)

    Hundertwasser: Art & wonky floors + an oasis for coffee
  • Tip Rating:
  • When in Vienna you MUST simply go and see the "KUNSTHAUS" (also called Hundertwasser Haus) close to the city center. It is a most magnificent, gay colored, wonky floored green oasis with a GREENHOUSE cafe& restaurant, art gallery and shops - THE way to chill out. If you have ever been to one of the secret green places hidden between Manhatten skyscrapers, you know the feeling: roaring traffic outside, while you enjoy the quiet and relaxed atmosphere of the downtown oasis. That is exactly the way you feel in the lush gardens of Franz Thell´s Café in the KunstHaus.

    Hundertwasser: Hundertwasserhaus
  • Tip Rating:
  • Hundertwasserhaus dates back to 1985 and it was never ment to be a museum, BUT it rather is an appartment-house with ordinary people living there. The building is locked and you may not get inside, except for a cafe-terrace on the 1st floor. At all of the facade and even inside the building you will hardly ever find a straight line, everything is bended and looks funny in many ways, but maybe not always very nice to walk on a corridor, that is not totally even but includes fancy "jokes" by Master Hundertwasser, who was never living in such a house himself.

  • Directions: Hundertwasserhaus is at the crossing of Loewengasse and Kegelgasse in the 3rd district of Vienna. Next subway-station is Landstrasse.

    Hundertwasser: Hundertwasser - Heizkraftwerk ( powerplant )

    The Hundertwasser-Heizkraftwerk inn Vienna is certainly the most beautiful power-plant in the world - it looked just the way every powerplant looks like, before Friedensreich Hundertwasser started to re-decorate it - he created a new german word for what he did : "Behuebschen" ( make things more beautiful). You may take the U-bahn and get there in order to walk around the building a bit, BUT you may not enter it and I would like to say that this is a building that you should not waste a lot of time, as long as you have not seen the other Hundertwasser-houses !!

    Hundertwasser: Hundertwasserhaus: 2nd District
  • Tip Rating:
  • Take a picture of Hundertwasserhaus This building is supposedly the hippest apartment complex in Vienna. With the exterior and interior designs by Mr. Friedensreich Hundertwasser, who was the same designer of both the cool sewage plant and the Kunsthaus Wien, the Hundertwasserhaus is definitely attractive to young adults. I don't even want to think about how high the rents are!

    Hundertwasser: Kunst Haus Wien
  • Tip Rating:
  • That interesting building which now houses a museum many years ago bought an artist Hundertwasser. But for that time here was an old factory which he renewed in very specific style. There are different shapes of windows, wall which is covered with colorful tiles, also you can see bushes growing from windows and walk by irregular floor. On this museum you can see the art works by Hundertwasser.

  • Hundertwasserhaus is a really cool, funky apartment house in Vienna, filled with colour and unusual architecture. At first I was a little reluctant to visit it, as I really love classical architecture, and wasn?t sure if I would even like it, but I am so glad I was persuaded to go along, as it really is unlike anything I have seen before - in a good way! Building of the apartments began in 1983 and they were designed by designed by Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The combination of trees, plants and then the building itself all intertwining in different colours and shapes really makes this a must see part of the city!

    Hundertwasser: Hundertwasser House
  • Tip Rating:
  • Friedensreich Hundertwasser was an architect who hated straight lines and firmly believed in a harmony between humans and nature. With this, he designed this odd looking and colourful building that is as crazy on the inside as on the outside. The house is occupied so you cant visit but across the street is a gallery build in the same style and reflects the interior of it. Down the street a bit is an art gallery dedicated to Hundertwasser and his work in another crazy looking building designed by him.

    Hundertwasser: Hundertwasser Toilet
  • Tip Rating:
  • Day 4 : Hundertwasser If you are visiting the Hunderwasserhaus, do not forget to visit the Hundertwasser toilet. You can reach this toilet via the Hundertwasser Village (there is a signboard just near the entrance. For a few Euro cents, you can do your toilet-needs in the complete Hundertwasser-style - it was quite an experience, I must say. And in the toilet there was a publicity board (a so called Next Pi-Pi point), which showed another arty toilet - The Opera toilet (near the Opernpassage - Opernring/Karntnerstrasse)
