Busgarage Wiener Linien

The bus garage consists of several halls for repair and maintenance work as well as for parking the buses that run on liquid gas. The halls are completed by an administrative building. Order and organisation of all parts of the structure are determined by the natural order of vehicles entering the garage, being checked, refuelled, maintained and parked before again leaving. The administrative structure to the north serves as linking element and spine for the two main halls (maintenance and parking). In order to guarantee optimal natural illumination without any overheating in summer, offices and staff rooms in the administrative area face north. The wardrobes are placed alongside the wall separating the building from the maintenance and parking hall. The building is naturally illuminated and ventilated by incised court yards on the first floor, generously providing the corridors inside with light and air.
