Flederhaus, a Vertical City of Hammocks
July 14, 2011
Being chill is an art and a craft (and a played-out music genre) – one that must be finely tuned to appear effortless. In this case, the Viennese may have failed by trying really hard, but they also win in the sense that Vienna’s citizens now get to enjoy an entire building of hammocks. After the jump, the the Flederhaus – which means “Bat House” auf Deutsch.
The Flederhaus is a project of Heri&Salli,a Viennese duo who refer to the project as an “oasis of relaxation” and a symbol of the “vertical public sphere.” It will be open until October, situated perpendicular to the mall of Vienna’s central Museum Quarter.
You can see more of this project on its Architizer Project Page, or check out the firm profile of Heri&Salli.
