The residential building on Neuwaldegger 31 in Vienna combines residential and office units into shared spaces, thus creating a lively connection between residents and company employees. The four-story, 24-meter-high structure is between 14.5 and 17.5 meters wide, with a total floor area of 820 square meters, and is perfectly integrated among adjacent buildings due to its enclosed design. The architects achieved the concept of a smooth and unobtrusive transition by using PREFA roof and facade elements. The use of the new PREFA folded template visually reduced the building. Nevertheless, an airy space was created inside, ensuring that everyone here has enough room.
Attractive exterior design and optimal drainage of the building
Similar to the interior of the building, the exterior was designed with a smooth transition in mind. The new folded and facade tiles enhance the uniform appearance of the building, which brings not only an optical effect but also the additional benefit of eave-free drainage.

Roof and facade made of the same material
Visually, the innovated folded tile from PREFA can be recognized by its newly shaped tip. It is lower, creating an even more elegant and harmonious appearance on the roof than before. It offers not only optical refinement but also practical advantages. The previously used folded tile could be installed at a roof pitch of 25°. The new tile can be installed from a pitch of 22°, simplifying its use not only in modern architecture. The quality criteria of "storm resistance" and "shatterproof" have been maintained even at this pitch, and PREFA guarantees them just as with its other products.

For both the roof and the facade of the residential building, folded tiles with dimensions of 291 x 291 mm were used. Twelve tiles per square meter weigh only 2.6 kg. This low weight is ideal for renovations. Existing rafters can be retained, and there is no need to reinforce the roof structure. Despite the low weight of the aluminum folded tiles, their load capacity exceeds 800 kg/m2.
