These Are The Nicest "Projects" I've Ever Seen




"welcome to alt-erlaa, a social-housing complex in vienna.

built between 1973 and 1985, this incredible, government funded 27-storey complex accomodates approximately 10′000 low-income residents amongst a healthy amount of greenery. as you can see, the blocks are topped with outdoor swimming pools (used regularly by 70% of residents), but the facilities available don’t end there. others include: indoor swimming pools, fitness rooms, solariums, saunas, tennis courts, schools, 2 medical centres, church, shopping mall, restaurants, 3′400 underground parking spaces and a metro station."
