Location: Darmstadt, Germany

Date: 1990s

Architect: Friedensreich Hundertwasser

Purpose: residential building

Rating: (295 votes, average: 3.69 out of 5)

More info: The windows of the Waldspirale, which number over 1000, are all unique: no two windows are the same. Similarly, different handles are attached in each apartment to the doors and windows. Some of the apartments are decorated in Friedensreich Hundertwasser’s personal style and exhibit the colourful tiles in the bath and kitchen that are characteristic of his work. Furthermore, all the corners are rounded off in these apartments along the roof and walls.

    It seems a decorated cake. But I like, is really unsual architecture!
