THE OTTO BUILDING BY GNADINGER ARCHITECTS
December 16th, 2009Gnädinger Architects have completed the Otto Bock building in Berlin, Germany.
The building was designed for the Otto Bock HealthCare company, a world leader in prosthetics and orthotics. The organic-dynamic design of the six-storey building is based on the principles of nature – as a model of harmony between technology and people. The facade bands have modeled the structure of muscle fibers that encircle the building structure in soft form. The “soft” appearance, combined with a unique facade media production, is an open, friendly and accessible institution, and thus contributes to the image building of the company.

December 15th, 2009Californian photographer and longtime Wallpaper* collaborator Larry Sultan has passed away aged 63.

NON-TRADITIONAL TREE HOUSE LOS ANGELES
December 15th, 2009I would love to have this as my tree house office, but it would really bug me to have this normal house that resides next to it. I can see it in the corner of the photo. It just doesn’t fit with this amazing and extreme modern designed tree house. I still love the design though! photos are kind of soft.
