No, Those are slash pines or sand pines... and there's only a dozen places in the world where they grow.

It's either that or lodgepole pines... but that means this project would have to be 5,000 feet above the ground and in a high wind zone for lodgepoles to grow like that.

It's stumping me hardcore... I did find the original advertisement for this house though!

I'm actually going to guess Peter Behrens - the heavy recess of the windows in the lower image has much of his design cues as does the balustrade... it's still a bit crafty. And to throw out a random country I'll say it's in Poland

Very Bauhaus aesthetic, so I'd say the influence is definitely there, but I don't think this architect was involved with the school at all. The house is in Berlin, where he practiced until 1933 when he had to flee the country to Palestine.

Here's a couple of his other projects and a chair:

There's a great survey done by Pentagram Papers of Jewish architects working in Germany before the war. Some impressive (and forgotten) work. You're up techno.

Hi guys, no this thread can't die...I guess we have all been very busy but we have to keep posting items.
So architechnophilia that the Narkomfin (or the Ginzburg) building by Moisei Ginzburg built between 1928 and 1932.
I will start thinking of another post to send too

I found the picture...but still no architect. By the size I guess it must be a public building...

any tips?

yea it's a public building located in China

hint #2; and now I'm sure holz is going to get it.

Although built from steel and concrete the green roof gives the building an eco credibility on par with the other works by this Japanese architect

to me, that would mean shuhei endo or shigeru ban... but i don't think either of those are correct

any more images?! i don't know why, but the structure beyond the curtain-wall makes me think this is a parking deck...

Holz you are indeed correct, it's a Community Center in Kun Ming by Shigeru Ban. Holz you are up to the plate

Victorian home with Scottish trim so I'd guess England/Scotland. The transition from in/out looks like a Pawson detail but less refined.

Is it Wilson & Bell by chance? I don't see it on their website - but they don't much of their work there anyway

here's another view... you can see something sticking up back in the background that might help clue you in...

it is an auditorium building on a western european university that will eventually have a new architecture building...

i'm also going to be writing my dissertation on the architect...
