I love that house on the far left -- and the stack, and the exterior stair -- and the oddly informal signage on the right -- wait, am I missing something -- ?

OMA spinoff?

and sure definite OMA influence, but not OMA-children.

That steel (?) spiral had to come in through the roof, no ? One piece, up to the second level ?

a-f, if there's one things I've learned on this thread, it's that nothing is too easy...

I'll guess H&dM, but don't know the building.

Oct 24, 07 6:56 pm  ·

some of the details would suggest either sanaa or mecanoo to me ... but i have no clue either.

It looks to me like something Andreas Fuhrimann & Gabrielle Hächler, Delugan Meissl, or J.Mayer.H would do. But then, a-f is from Amsterdam...

In any case, I have seen this before and its driving me nuts.

It does look like that big black concrete staircase in the Laban Centre (London) by H&deM, but I can't find a view of it that shows it terminating like that....

the curved wall keeps throwing me off to. i keep thinking zaha

Oct 24, 07 8:58 pm  ·

It does look like the Laban Centre, but its not. I have the feeling that it is a museum or art gallery - Holland, Switzerland, Austria or Germany. Zaha's Cincinatti stair has a similar setting and materiality but it is linear.

I was thinking more along the lines of her Ordrupgaard Museum Extension, but no spiral stairs in those plans.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Come on a-f, more clues please!

Ooops! Sorry, I completely missed out on your speculations. It's in Switzerland, but there is a Dutch connection (although probably too obscure to count as a clue). Some more pictures:







Here's another project by the same office:

ok, i only got it because of the last image clue

em2n, public records office, liestal.

nice project, thanks for bringing it to our attention

Yes that's right. Daniel Niggli used to live (and work) in Amsterdam, hence the slight superdutch character of the em2n projects.

Well done Steven,
Correct.
I love RCR - I have that GG monograph - unusually, there is a section at the back of the book with alot of details, sections, plans etc.

Off you go.

mmm.... hyperbolic paraboloids! I like it, but don't have a clue. Something in collaboration with Felix Candela?

looks like stirling at leicester, but a view i've never seen - so maybe a stirling-disciple?

Oct 29, 07 10:25 am  ·

Steven, I'm glad you see Leicester in this building, which it is not. It's what I call a reenactment.
