Modern Architecture VitraHaus Building by Herzog & de Meuron
Herzog & de Meuron architect created new house architecture concept with house collection like building structure this house design concept contain for some family which live together in a house. New House Architecture Concept Vitra has five storeys in height and containing 12 separate houses. which includes design classics as well as re-editions and products by contemporary designers. The complexity of the interior space arises not only from the angular intersection of the individual houses but also from the integration of a second geometrical concept. All of the staircases are integrated into expansive, winding organic volumes that figuratively eat their way through the various levels of the building like a worm, sometimes revealing fascinating visual relationships between the various houses, at other times blocking the view. The interior walls are finished in white in order to give priority to the furniture displays.
