The Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna was built after the idea and concept of Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser with architect Joseph Krawina. In my opinion this is after palace Schobrunn landmark of Vienna and a must-see when you visit this city.
Hundertwasser was a painter who developed an interest for architecture. He expressed his concerns regarding an architecture in harmony with nature and man. In 1983 Hundertwasser was invited to create an apartment building according to his own ideas. Hundertwasser wasn't an architect so Josef Krawina was invited to join and to help him to put his ideas into practice.

He was fascinated by spirals, and called straight lines “godless and immoral” and “something cowardly drawn with a rule, without thought or feeling”.
It features undulating floors, a roof covered with earth and grass, and large trees growing from inside the rooms, with limbs extending from windows. Hundertwasser took no payment for the design of the house, declaring that it was worth it, to prevent something ugly from going up in its place.
Within the house there are 52 apartments, four offices, 16 private terraces and three communal terraces, and a total of 250 trees and bushes.
The Hundertwasser House is one of Vienna’s most visited buildings and has become part of Austria’s cultural heritage.
