VitraHaus by Herzog & de Meuron


Have a look at these photographs of the striking VitraHaus, a project by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron.

Located at the Vitra campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany, this five-storey building consists of 12 stacked volumes with pitched roofs covered in charcoal stucco. Each gabled unit is glazed, and cantilevers outwards up to five metres, creating the impression of a pile of houses. The inside is no less stunning with spiral staircases connecting the intersecting white-painted interiors.

The building was designed to display the furniture brand’s Home Collection and joins existing buildings on the Vitra campus by Frank Gehry and Tadao Ando.
