Unusual Stacked Barn House

22 Jan

The Vitra Campus has a new edition in this unusual stacked barn house. My first overall impression was that several barns were placed on top of one another which created the strange structure. I was a bit surprised by the simplicity of the approach, but perhaps that is its intention to make one think and wonder and in effect, capture a person’s attention. Vitra is famous for the Vitra Museum and its collection of modern objects. The intent behind the house was to add more display space for its design collection. I also found the “world’s largest hammer” interesting. Via and Coolboom.
