Dupli Casa

Pretty decent looking house.

Dupli Casa, a private residence by the Neckar river, near the old town of Marbach in South- Western Germany, is the work of Jürgen Mayer H., founder and principal of his cross-disciplinary studio. J. Mayer H. Architekten in Berlin.

From the outside, the three-storey concrete villa looks like a bit like some sort of a fiberglass motorboat job gone funny, yet it also manages to look immensely appealing and intriguing. From some angles, the structure appears to be standing upside down — the lower exterior rim spilling onto the lawn and forming a part of a roof structure, if the building were to stand the other way around. It could have been blown there by the wind; it could be a StarWarsian vehicle frozen in place; it could be just taking off to outer space.

    I dig the design, but man is that thing gonna look ugly in 10 years. the exterior. unless it’s made of some space age white substance that doesn’t get jacked from rain, snow, dust, sun and uv.
