The FLEDERHAUS is an open space where visitors can find a new home. It can also serve as an oasis of relaxation and a symbol of a vertical public sphere.
The visible design of the FLEDERHAUS is dissolving itself when the visitors are using the inside as an open space and get to a new dimension of a public space. Despite its name, it’s not full of bats, but a cluster of hammocks – Come in and hang out.

What a stange yet wonderful building! Not sure how I feel about the artwork outside it though… :S
Another fan of Verhoven !
Hats off. I wonder how long it will last as a public place undamaged.
Well, it’s not just a public space, it’s also a well maintained piece of art – we are celebrating 10 years of our biggest Museum Cluster in the city center, and this is one way of doing so. ;) come, visit, it’s worth it! LOL
the art is good but wt about sustainability[longetivity]
mh .as far as I know it’s only there through summer and fall. But I could be wrong…

Very cool place! So contrasting with Vienna’s classical architecture! Love the name-bat house!

A very interesting building that would be very welcoming when the weather is good
please i need a way to contact that girl
