OLAFUR'S RAINBOW ...

... left a deep and colorful impression on us when visiting Århus the other day! Viewing 360° of this beautiful city in each and every color is truly stunning! Moreover, the AROS over which roof this architectural masterpiece is floating in also quite worth a visit!

HAMBURG ALTERNATIVE HOUSING PT. TWO

Just in case you ever intend to have a new, bright view on the city you live in why not take rather unusual places to live into consideration? An apartment located in one of the Mundburg-Towers is one of such unique places you can choose from here in Hamburg.

So I pretty much wonder what these spots in Argentina will look like? And why not kicking down a small battle on architecture? Should be fun ...

HAMBURG ALTERNATIVE HOUSING PT. ONE

Every time we take a walk down the canal that slowly flows next to our apartment we pass by these five floating homes. Since I like the combination of the classic houseboat idea and modern architecture a lot I would appreciate it very much if Hamburg's politicians would give way for more projects like this.

So if you are also spending some thoughts on where to move to next you may gather some good additional information here: http://www.hamburger-hausboote.com/

Ahoi!

HIDE AND SEEK – PRESERVE MORE ART!

Sometimes, when they tear down old houses, you can discover great pieces of art. Art from which exhistance you hardly didn't even know about. The sad thing is that nobody preserves these old masterpieces of hand-painted advertisements.

Just picture yourself in one of these luxury appartments that soon will be standing in that place, looking through a thick window pane on some softly illuminated cracked paint on this very brick wall ... !? Would be nice, wouldn't it?

No – probably you never will be able to do so and that's why these kind of advertisements slowly but steadly are disappearing from our city scape ;o(

However and just in case you like this kind of paintings too follow this inspiring link here ...

Please enjoy!

VISIT OF A SOLAR LIVING AREA

I was wondering these days, what was happening in the city-center of Munich. Just in three days there was built a new house next to the cityhall.
