The Donaumarina Tower forms the new heart of the district and Vienna’s new landmark for innovation.

The heart piece is the main entrance stair case which welcomes public life into the podium. This space is to be used as a multifunctional zone hosting events and vernissages.

The public podium attracts life and generates a catalyst for the new Marina City quarter. It is designed with the highest visual transparency and displays all internal activities as well as its innovative timber structure to the neighborhood.
