Housing in Chemnitz

A cube, with four façades.

Two, urban: hard, stony.
Two, organic: soft, with wood. Turned towards the park.
In these two, a balcony that floats and is fixed by a great weight, an iron ball that hangs from the ceiling and gives it stability.

Close to the building of the German Central Bank (Bundesbank), also our work, it had to dialogue with it, go unnoticed and relate to the park around it.
