In Graz, in the up‑and‑coming district Reininghaus, a modern residential project with high architectural and design quality is being created with “Lumina – The Light Quarter.”

The project realized by ÖSW comprises 58 privately financed owner-occupied condominiums with well‑thought‑out layouts from 2 to 4 rooms and living areas between approx. 55 and 90 m².

Two prominent buildings form the heart of the ensemble and echo the characteristic polygonal design language of the district. Different access concepts – from the compact building with centrally lit stairwell to the open atrium as the communicative center – create a clear architectural identity and a lively living atmosphere.

The apartments convince with:

• Generous ceiling heights
• Bright, light-filled living spaces
• Two-sided daylight exposure (in many units)
• Private outdoor spaces such as balconies, terraces or private gardens

The high-quality façades in grey/brown as well as green/gold set elegant accents and underline the modern character of the project.

The name “Lumina” is part of the program: An artistic light installation by the Styrian artist Martina Tritthart integrates regional dialect words into binary codes that are woven into the façades near the main entrances – a unique design highlight.

Project highlights at a glance:

• Focus on family-friendly living
• Spacious, versatile outdoor spaces (e.g., deep balconies)
• Car-free quarter with high quality of stay
• Integrated open space and path concept
• Modern architecture with a clear design language

“Lumina – The Light Quarter” combines urban living with high quality of life and creates a home for people who value design, light and space.

Heating & Cooling

Heating is provided centrally via district heating using energy-efficient building-activation that ensures a uniform indoor climate. In the bathroom, an electric towel radiator adds to the comfort.

In summer, a gentle tempering through the ceilings (no air conditioning with fixed cooling values). In the top floors (4th and 5th floors) there are preparations for fan coils for individual retrofitting.

The control is via a room thermostat in the living area, all other rooms are automatically regulated.

Underground garage

Underground parking spaces are available in the building's basement and can be rented long-term if needed. This provides comfortable and secure parking directly in the building.
