I really loved this. I wouldn’t expect everyone to feel like I did about it. It is very unusual. Hundertwasser didn’t believe in straight lines. He liked to incorporate live trees into the architecture. The haus is currently an apartment complex and is occupied. You can only gaze from the outside. Around the corner though is a little Cafe you can go in and sit. Wonderful! The people are friendly and the food was simple goodness. There is a short film running about Hundertwasser. There is a gift shop, and I actually bought stuff. Across from the haus, is a little indoor market. Pretty charming! A treat for the eye.

The online photos give the impression of colourful houses. They are not, yes there is some colour, but not vibrant. A small selection of shops underneath with a small bar. Not worth the walk from old town imo.

I had a business trip to Vienna and a little time to spare, so I walked around town and ended up here. It's a great photo location and great for art lovers. There are also a lot of good restaurants close to it.

I had seen this building 25 years before and was amazed then. Still amazing architecture - a bit of fading in the color. BUT unlike any other architecture in Vienna (and most other places). It can get quite crowded - so go early. And the neighboring "village" has gotten very commercial. But ignore any of that and just marvel at the architecture. Note that you can't go inside as people live there full time.

As a fan of architecture, both traditional and modern, I seek out sites to see when traveling. The Hundertwasserhaus was on several lists as a tourist attraction, an unusual architectural site, and a must-see. So we made our way over to see it on a sunny Saturday afternoon. First thing you notice is that the building is large and looks a bit wobbly as it is has no straight edges. There are trees that partially block it. And there is no single place to stand and take it all in. In fact, the building is so busy that you likely won't be able to take it all in; I saw much more in my photos afterwards. The building is colorful with units in yellow, pink, periwinkle, and gray. There are no straight lines. Many of the windows are colorfully outlined and, above each, marked with a single colorful tile. There are ceramic tile designs running horizontally as if to delineate the floors within the building. Here and there are the occasional small rounded balcony. A good number of people were milling around on both sides, just looking up and trying to take it all in! As I left, I wondered how what you see on the exterior correlates to the interior living space (this is an apartment building). Nearby is a gift shop selling Hundertwasserhaus souvenirs!

I enjoyed looking at the building- you cannot go inside the actual apartment building and have to rely on photos in the myriad of gift shops nearby. The photos are amazing however. You can enter a building across from the house and see the kind of things that Hundertwasser created. Its amazing!

Very good restaurant with Austrian specialities, we were welcomed warmly by the EDGAR server, very professional with good advice for us French tourists. Among other things, EDGAR recommended dessert typical of the country, the Kaiserschmarrn that was prepared the same evening for us, a light and fluffy bellows with grapes, and jams and compote, a treat just out of the oven!! The food is excellent and the service perfect!!! We recommend this restaurant, not to be missed, and if you are lucky enough to be served by EDGAR, you will be delighted, it is the top!!

Hundertwasserhaus an apartment complex in Vienna, completed in 1985, based on the concepts of Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The apartment building features undulating floors, windows of uneven sizes and alignment, a roof covered with earth and grass, and large trees growing from inside the rooms, with limbs extending from windows. The building has become a major tourist attraction and favorite of Instagrammers. I was not expecting much, but ended up being blown away by the cool look.

The Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna is one of Austria’s architectural highlights. Designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, the residence attracts visitors from all over the world. Those who live in the Hundertwasserhaus also have the right to design the facade around the windows according to their own taste. More than 200 trees and shrubs on the balconies and roof terraces make the Hundertwasserhaus a green oasis in the middle of the city. The Hundertwasserhaus can only be visited from the outside. Friedensreich Hundertwasser is also considered as one of Europe’s first green masterminds thanks to his ideas on ecology and sustainability. He is appreciated and exhibited worldwide.
