NERMA LINSBERGER ZT GmbH is an architecture studio based in Vienna, Austria, recognized primarily for its focus on sustainable social housing. Established in 2010 by Nerma Linsberger, who was born in Sarajevo and later completed her architectural studies at the Akademie der bildenden Künste in Vienna, the office now operates from a prominent location on the top floor of one of Vienna’s earliest skyscrapers. The firm employs a small team—typically around 6 to 8 staff members.
The studio’s reputation has grown around its analytical and pragmatic approach, consistently realized in its work on affordable residential projects in Vienna. Notably, projects such as "Wohnen im SÜSS," "WILLLI Social Housing," "M GRUND Social Housing," "CUUUBE Social Housing," and "Beckmanngasse Social Housing" illustrate the company’s signature—careful figure-ground relationships and attention to communal living environments. The M GRUND project, for example, covers 11,000 square meters and includes courtyard blocks, meeting spaces, and communal gardens, all designed to strengthen community ties and optimize social integration.
NERMA LINSBERGER ZT GmbH has been recognized multiple times as a finalist in international architecture awards, reflecting both its architectural quality and innovative approach to sustainable building. The office emphasizes the use of renewable materials and efficient building processes to deliver affordable, high-quality housing—prioritizing social responsibility and urban integration in all its ventures. The studio’s activities now extend beyond Vienna, with projects underway across Europe.
