DONAU CITY TOWER I
Vienna, Austria
TAKING SMART BUILDINGS TO NEW HEIGHTS
Austria’s tallest building is also among its smartest. Equipped with a full range of KONE solutions, Donau City Tower I is designed for a completely intuitive people flow experience.
Description
At 220 meters in height, Donau City Tower I (commonly referred to as DC Tower) is one of the tallest buildings in Europe, adding a distinctive high-tech accent to the Vienna skyline. It is the first in a pair of skyscrapers designed by celebrated French architect Dominique Perrault for Donau City, a new city within a city taking shape in Vienna’s 22nd district on the right bank of the Danube River. This building is no ordinary multipurpose skyscraper: it can read your mind – or at least your access card. It knows exactly who is entering and where they are headed. KONE technology plays a key part in the day-to-day logistics by guiding users smoothly and efficiently to their destination. DC Tower features a complete family of KONE People Flow Intelligence solutions combining a flexible elevator and escalator configuration with integrated access control, touchscreen destination control, equipment monitoring and information communication. KONE worked closely with the customer and a third-party access control supplier to ensure the building’s people flow requirements were met.
