Waldspirale, Germany

From series “The Most Bizarre and Fancy Living Houses”
Year: 2000.

The house with the symbolic name 'Waldspiral' is one of the most original architectural sights in Darmstadt. Its construction began in 1998 and lasted two years. The natural theme served as a basis for the project of the unusual building. No symmetrical forms, which are so untypical for nature, the spacious terraces with the numerous plants and the huge domes, which remind one of the onions - there is no random element in the building structure.

Waldspirale, Germany On the colorful facade of the building you can hardly find two identical windows. The building is embedded in green. In total there are 1048 windows on the facade of the residential complex, each of which is unique. The Strange Garden House is home to 105 comfortable unique apartments. The residential complex is spiral-shaped. In the spiral center is the beautiful inner courtyard with the magnificent landscaped garden. The cozy restaurant and the cocktail bar are hidden in the lush scrubs. In addition, the courtyard has several playgrounds for the children and the beautiful recreation areas with small ponds. In the residential complex there is also a small pharmacy.

The building roof is a huge green terrace with plants and flowers, the comfortable recreation zones for sunbathing. The residents of the multi-apartment complex independently cultivate 'the green component' of their dwelling. In accordance with the contract, the tenants in whose dwelling or on the balcony the trees and flowers grow are obliged to care for them. So one of the main conditions of the stay is in the original house. Next - Habitat 67

Top destination around Waldspirale - Darmstadt

Fans of active pastime will find entertainment to their liking. One of these is a zipline in Kletterwald Darmstadt. This is certainly a fantastic experience both for the youngest citizens and for adults. There is also a place for enjoying swimming, and this is Naturfreibad Großer Woog. It is especially helpful in the heat, which sometimes happens in Darmstadt. The only drawback is the crowd constantly scurrying around, but if you get used to this state of things, it doesn’t bother the rest at all. Rather, on the contrary, there is a feeling that something is missing without it.

Waldkunstpfad is a must for lovers of walking. Here there are recreation areas, as well as small restaurants where one can have a bite. There is a restaurant on the top of the Ludwigsturm hill, and therefore such a great chance should not be missed - when else could you dine in such a romantic place? On the way, you will meet some true works of art. Near each of them, one is tempted to stop for the whole day in order to see everything in the smallest detail. These are sculptures, carpenters' handicrafts, and wire products taking the form of this or that object. Children especially like it here, so when visiting Darmstadt with young citizens, you should not leave the latter at the hotel.
