For storytellers
Why Hundertwasserhaus matters
Friedensreich Hundertwasser disliked straight lines, so this housing block has uneven floors, golden domes and trees growing from windows. It's a social housing project that people still live in, so you view it from outside. Nearby, a village shopping lane continues the style.
Talking points
- There are no straight lines in the design.
- People still live there, so respect their privacy.
- Trees grow from the balconies.
