Movie: Basket Apartments
by OFIS Arhitekti

A student housing block in Paris modelled on a stack of wooden baskets features in this latest movie about the work of Slovenian studio OFIS Arhitekti.

Entitled Basket Apartments, the ten-storey building was completed in autumn 2012, but was officially opened at the end of January this year.

OFIS Arhitekti conceived the building as a series of “spinning and rotating baskets”, that each contain a cluster of rooms with private balconies. See more information and images of Basket Apartments in our earlier story.

Filmaker Carniolus has produced a series of movies about architecture by OFIS Arhitekti, including one about an Alpine holiday hut and another about three baroque houses converted into apartments.

See more architecture by OFIS Arhitekti on Dezeen, including a culture and technology centre inspired by a conceptual space station.
