Just a bunch of extruded house profiles scattered about. hahaha What no blob forms…no sci fi 60’s retro re-hash with modern materials, no structural replications of natural phenomena…

Just a bunch of extruded house profiles scattered about.

A showroom for the Home Collection? Sure, but let's take the most common interpretation of the house and explode it out into a jumble of intersecting forms -- leading to a number of undoubtedly surprising interior spaces that remain rooted in the most mundane of typologies. I agree with Yorik, it's the details that are going to make this structure sing. Already I'm drawn to the pinched shape of the main entrance with its sunken stairwell shown in Marcus' picture of the model. For some reason it seems reminiscent of H&dM's entrance to their Prada building in Tokyo - one of my all time favorites. Also, does anyone else see the pattern of multiplicity and stacking really taking hold in the most recent of H&dM's works? This Vitra project seems to share a portion of its DNA with not only the glass ziggurat extension to the Tate, but also the new Parrish Art Museum on Long Island.

Probably, as often in H&dM projects, we'll have to wait for the materials and details to see the idea better. But I think it's still not this time that someone will do better than Zaha Hadid...
