would you like a green stairway, why yes i would!

this building has a great clean design. it's a box shell, but hides a grass stairway to a green roof. the back of the stairway is in the center of the photo above.


for some reason a beautiful curve like the one created by the bottom of the stairway that expands to meet the left wall is a nice juxtaposition to the strong angles of the box frame of the house. (that sounded nerdy than required... it's nice when curves and straight lines are mixed - there much better)


a awesome view from the staircase. the coolest thing is you can only access the roof from inside the house...
