Waldspirale, ‘Forest spiral’, is a residential building complex located in Darmstadt, Germany. The building was designed by Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser and completed in 2000.

The U-shaped building bends round to partially enclose a courtyard, while the façade subverts the notion of a regular grid organisation. The building features gilded onion domes on the roof, colourful ceramic columns and over 1000 windows, all of which are uniquely shaped.

Typical to Hundertwasser’s naturalistic style, the building is an almost absolute rejection of rectangular forms and straight lines, in favour of smooth angles and corners.

Along the roof, which inclines like a diagonal around the U-shape of the building, are planted beech, maple and lime trees. The layers of sedimentary rock found at the site are reflected on the building’s façade in bands of ceramic tiles and multi-coloured stucco in earthy tones.

As a pioneer of modern vegetated roofs, Hundertwasser said: “Grass and vegetation in the city should grow on all horizontal spaces - that is to say, wherever rain and snow falls vegetation should grow, on the roads and on the roofs.”
