    Curious, it falls short to describe it
    It's worth taking the metro and going to see it. You have not seen anything like it, architecturally speaking. Then you can stop by the store right in front that is worth entering and seeing. And also 5m away is one of the bridges over the Danube, in case you are excited to see it.

    “The straight line is godless”
    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.

    INTERESTING
    A set of residences that we learned were built in 1984. People live and live in it. You cannot visit the inside. It is worth seeing with its very interesting architecture, colors, decorations and landscaping. The balconies, terraces, front, back and gardens of these houses, which have no corners, are adorned with various living plants and trees. If you have an extraordinary and impressive time, stop by.

    Underwhelmed
    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.

    Great for art and architecture lovers
    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.

    Amazing Building - Unfortunate that can't go inside
    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.

    A truly interesting work of architecture and art!!
    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!

    An inhabited house
    It is but an inhabited house surrounded by nature. Complete with intercoms and a plea not to disturb. No doubt particular but I recommend going to see the Vienna incinerator designed by the same architect. Spittelau metro stop, get off and see it.

    Social housing
    Beautiful social housing complex built about thirty years ago by an architect. The materials are all recycled, there are no corners but only round. It is a beautiful combination of art and modern architecture. The place has become a tourist destination over the years and in front of the building have sprung up themed shops with souvenirs, catering etc. Even the apartments are handed over by the city of Vienna to people with strong artistic talents precisely to carry out the dictates of the founder of the palace

    Fascinating building
    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!

We’d never heard of Hundertwasser before coming to Vienna and were stunned by this quirky building, especially as it started out as social housing.
The people who live here now must get fed up of visitors milling about.
We avoided the tat shop opposite.
Set us up nicely for a visit to the nearby Kunst Haus.

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.

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!!

Went there out of curiosity. The facade is rather flat other than a few protrusion here and there with little of straight lines plus a colorful palette front.

Interesting design bit not sufficiently avant garde as compared with Gaudi's work

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.

Hundertwasserhaus is a public housing complex, designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser in the 1980s. It is characterized by its soft lines, bright colors and beautiful hanging gardens. The facade also has another detail: the windows are different from each other.

Complete freedom of creativity, which this strange architect took advantage of. He managed to create a unique project that most citizens and tourists liked. Hundertwasser's house hides a very rich inner world behind its remarkable and bright exterior. At first glance, it may seem that the house was created specifically in an outrageous style to attract travelers. However, the reality was a little different. The architect put a lot of hidden meanings into his project, which influenced the appearance of the building.

The building has a "hilly" number of storeys. In the house, Hundertwasser embodied his ideals of art and beauty, such as the use of a whole palette of colors, the absence of straight lines, a lot of greenery and versatility. The motley facade is complemented by windows of different sizes and shapes, mosaics and ornaments made of colored glazed tiles. Not everyone likes it, because in Vienna everything is luxurious and modern architecture sometimes looks twofold. But personally, I love this place, every time we come here, we are happy to take a walk along the street.

This magical, very eye-catching place is located on the corner of Kegelgasse and Löwengasse.
This residential complex takes its name from Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
Hunderwasserhaus can only be visited from the outside, but opposite this building is a shopping complex called Hundertwasser Village - there you can already enter, buy numerous souvenirs, and above all feast your eyes on beautiful paintings and other things.

House built by the famous architect among the precursors of green building and support for the environment also and above all in reference to building construction. The house can be visited from the outside and it is possible to admire the internal part in the market opposite, where it is also possible to buy souvenirs. The visit was very nice, especially with children due to the messages launched by the architect which can be a starting point for reflection.
