Congrats to our colleagues in #Austria on installing 22 Otis Genesis elevators in a residential complex in #Vienna! What makes this project special? The elevator shafts are built entirely out of #wood!
The 5 residential blocks with 132 apartments of Wiener Wohnen - Social Housing in Viennese Gregorygasse, which date back to the 1960s are currently undergoing extensive renovations that include attic extensions and the addition of 22 wooden elevator towers.
The use of wood was taken into consideration during planning and installation, especially when considering fire protection. By partnering with general contractor Leyrer + Graf Baugesellschaft m.b.H. we were able to develop a state-of-the-art vertical mobility solution to move the tenants safely, comfortably, and sustainably.
With the first elevators already installed and the first attic floors built, the renovation of the complex is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2025.
