I know that building, but for the life of me the architects aren't ringing a bell. I'd guess HdM but I couldn't tell you where or what!

i visited the damn thing but i can't remember who did it, but it isnt HdeM

of the huge cantilevered truss like structure

I'm gonna throw Rick Mather out there, totally un-investigated, because I had forgotten about his work until I saw it in the news recently and it sorta reminds me of him (and looks British).

good guess, but not quite notable as rick. the building and the firm are european, but a little south-east of the uk.

it's pretty nice phuyaka...i just wish the cortenz sort of took over
the back facade a bit..but it's nice nonetheless.

dammit. i saw this published somewhere but can't pull it out of the memory banks.

snooker, it looks very northern cali, possibly san francisco and i see some william wurster in it. but might be a student of wurster.

phuyaka...the door on your second image is killing me...

well for a hint, it's in Belgium.

And I agree Lars, I also thing it would be nice if it opened up a bit more in the back since the front is so fortified. gotta love the cortenz though:



simples you're right, it looks like it matches the front door, and I think it leads to the basement, pretty wretched.
