Cutting Edge Home

Translate Into:

Interesting things happen when architects are hand-cuffed guided by local restrictions and client’s desires. A custom home design more often than not will look like a watered-down version of an original idea that might have stood for something spectacular if not ultimately designed by committee. This F-117 Stealth Fighter inspired house in Kronberg, Germany, is very much the exception to this rule. Satisfying the needs of local authorities and incorporating the required pitched roof, designers Architect Meixner Schluter Wendt used this feature as a launch point for the rest of their design dubbed Haus F. By segmenting the house in three parts; the cellar (located completely underground), a glass wrapped garden level(includes the kitchen and family room) and the “Flying Form” which houses the bedrooms and bathrooms, this design creates the illusion of a billion dollars worth of high-tech terror taking off for targets in Tikrit.
