Hudertwasserhaus

Hudertwasserhaus is an apartment in Viena, Austria. The Austrian artist, Friedenschreich Hudertwasser, is commissioned to design the house for the government. The blueprint of the house  looks like an Expressionist's painting rather than like an architectural drawing.  But to make the concept come to reality, Hudertwasser works with two architects,  Joseph Krawina and Peter Pelikan, who assist in programming the space.  Thus, with art and science, the house possesses the quality of sense and sensibility. 


Hudertwasserhaus is a baroque-style house. It features undulating floors ("an uneven floor is a divine melody to the feet)a roof covered with earth and grass, and large trees growing from inside the rooms, with limbs extending from windows.
