Pier 22 – island luxury for all
With the opening of the first phase of Pier 22 – formerly Sunken City – in summer 2024, Vienna has expanded its network of new common spaces. Located on the famous Donauinsel near the U1 station, the project introduces inclusive, non-commercial zones for relaxation, work, and social encounters.
This photo essay captures the atmosphere of this vibrant new urban site. The images highlight key features of the initial construction phase: wooden platforms floating above the water, planted islands, and colorful sun decks that create a new kind of urban interior. Park-working areas with flowing balconies and pergolas, along with natural plantings of native grasses and perennials, complete the composition.
