This residential and commercial building by architects MVRDV (Rotterdam) combines innovative architecture with practical use in a wonderful way. The clearly interrupted Spigel façade with its jagged interspaces paints the picture of a house in ruins. In reality, it is an ingenious piece of architecture that creates highly individual apartments and offices.

Stefan Lindner lives and works in Dresden, Germany. As a graduate engineer for furniture construction, he manufactured furniture in the Bauhaus style for a long time. Their straightness and functionality inspired him as a self-taught photographer since the late 90s to photograph modern architecture. Here it is the clearly structured facades of concrete, steel and glass that inspire him to design the photos in black and white, and in which he also often likes to abstract. In doing so, he tries to find the perspective that emphasizes the uniqueness of the building through detailed planning.
