Nußdorf feels like a small village of its own, set right on the Danube. In the evening you sit at a wine tavern or walk the vineyard paths, and the quiet is everywhere. To reach the centre, you need a little more time.
Social housing shapes the area — big courtyards, solid blocks.
The six dimensions
Light & built form
Nußdorf is low and openly built — plenty of free sky above the rooftops. Measured at the Grätzl centre: about 14.4 hours of direct sun on the longest day, about 6.5 in December. Even the low winter sun gets through well here. The evening sun stays long. How bright a single flat is comes down to floor, orientation and courtyard vs. street side — the measurement is for the Grätzl centre.

The roofs above Nußdorf
Within 450 m of the centre, buildings carry around 4 hectares of roof that would be greenable by pitch — 55.7 % of the roof area there, calculated from the City of Vienna’s official roof model. On that area roughly 6,900 m³ of rain a year would stay up top instead of entering the sewer, by the model. The modelled heat index here is 43 out of 100.
The radius is a fixed reference area, not a neighbourhood boundary, and the circles of adjacent neighbourhoods overlap — so these figures cannot be added up. Whether any of these roofs is already green is unknown to a geometry model; whether it carries the build-up is for a structural engineer to say. Geometry as of 2016. All districts compared →
