#crazyroof Saturdays Waldspirale Location: Darmstadt, Germany Style: Green roof with Russian elements Materials: Recycled concrete This #uniqueroof is thanks to the Friedrich Hundertwasser house in Darmstadt, Germany Waldespirale is German for “forest spiral.” This eccentric apartment building was named for its huge “U” shaped green roof. Some of the lucky inhabitants get their own slice of the roof garden, which is deep enough to grow trees, grasses, and vegetables. According to a documentary on the building, the building’s artist, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, wanted to connect people with nature. He believed that green roofs, or those roofs that support plant life, would become the norm for all buildings. His colorful vision, complete with Russian-style onion towers and wavy walls, ensures that the building looks beautiful even in the winter.
