This is a piano and violin house. Something that I think many musicians would love to live in if they deeply are passionate about music. This house is located in Huainan City, China and was recently built in 2007 by the architectural students as a way to draw interest to the city. The building has escalators, meeting rooms, and space to host weddings and other events. The violin, made completely out of glass, serves as the entry to the house, linking the elevated piano to the ground. The piano portion of the house stands on three concrete legs and features a roof terrace beneath a canopy shaped like the piano’s open top. It's very unclear as to why this piece was made but it does bring a lot of romance to the area.
When I saw this house I couldn't believe what I was looking at. (WOW) I don't know if I could ever live in something like this just because its to much glass for me and it looks like it is out in the middle of nowhere. Music plays a huge part of my life and I find myself relating some of my life issues with songs but I don't think I would go as far as living in a glass house.
I like how the architectural students had think outside the box and build a house out of glass.
ReplyDeleteI love this building! Pretty crazy what people can come up with. This is awesome that they can have weddings there. Too bad it is in China. Would suck bringing up the groceries though.
ReplyDeletethis is a very interesting building indeed! apparently they built it to bring tourism to a very poor town in China. I think that would definitely do it! ;)
ReplyDeleteWow! That's really neat! Amazing how anyone could build this and to have sp much realistic character to it. Awesome find!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! I can imagine all of the work that went into such a creative piece.
