Pile of Houses

Vitra Haus.
The new home to Vitra's furniture collection is literally a pile of houses. The building reaches five stories high and contains twelve separate houses.
Vitra Haus is designed by Herzog and de Meuron, best known for designing the Beijing Olympics 'Bird's Nest'.
The Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein
, Germany, comprises of many stunning pieces of architecture designed by some of the world's best designers.

I love how the Vita Haus building plays with scale, it's hard to imagine how big or small it is from the outside images. I also like how each individual 'house' looks so conventional, even pre-fab, and yet the overall building looks anything but. The gray exterior makes the all white interiors and beautiful interior light really pop through the large windows.
