The Taborama is a residential high-rise characterized by its greenery and vibrant, multi-storey community rooms. The building's horizontal structure is accentuated by dark setbacks with generous heights, which shape its architectural identity.
Greenery is integral to the design, featuring fixed greening elements, plant troughs, and rod structures that encourage residents to engage with the building's verdant aesthetic. A garden terrace with raised beds further promotes urban gardening.
A standout feature of Taborama is its multi-storey community rooms, distributed throughout the building and accessible to all residents. These spaces, such as a children's playroom, a crafts and painting area, shared offices and a library, strengthen a sense of community and enhance the shared living experience.
Individual colour schemes designed by artist Ingo Nussbaumer along with high-quality equipment, define the high-rise, making it a valuable living space for its residents.

Bio
The Vienna-based architecture office querkraft was founded in 1998. The mission statement formulated by querkraft is “giving people space”, which expresses a constant striving for generosity in the field of spatial design and for the kind of freedom that facilitates users’ personal development. In the area of housing, in particular, querkraft has realised many projects that embody this philosophy of poetic pragmatism.
