Window and door elements that serve as railings and are suspended horizontally in front of the spacious windows. Or window frames that are positioned abruptly and out of context in the facade. The detached home created by architect Weichlbauer Ortis in Frohnleiten, Austria, turns a house's customary use on its head. The game, which spawns two cubes, the sonly slightly turned and pushed into the other Spiel, or the striking staircase elements that apparently serve either a purely aesthetic function or as supports, are taken to the point of absurdity. Hard- and straight-edged concrete cubes have been packed away in velvety soft green Astroturf. A water outlet hangs from an orange trashcan on the patio. A window profile as a hand rail and a door through which it is certainly not advisable to step... Nothing here seems to be located where it should be.
