Skyscraper “Waterfall” in Skógar, Iceland

45-story skyscraper «Waterfall». From the idea of a skyscraper to the finished image, the work took only 3 days. Ignoring common sense and typical solutions, I tried to find an interesting form of skyscraper. I decided on three towers leaning on each other and forming a common top. The shape of the skyscraper allows to put it in rather unusual situations. The building can be used at a sharp drop in height location – in the lower part of the skyscraper is based on two towers, and the top rests on one (as on the visualization). In addition to this unusual configuration, a skyscraper can have three equal towers for location on a flat surface. Even so, the skyscraper could be placed over landmark objects, parks or crossroads.

Interdependency generates specificity for an urban landscape and fosters relationships in the revalorised continuüm. Expression is found in the materialisation of light as a metaphorical guide throughout an architectural project.

John Hejduk, "Wall House No. 2,"

Hoornse Meer, Groningen, Netherlands,

John Hejduk originally designed Wall House No. 2 in 1973 as a weekend retreat for landscape architect Arthur Edward Bye. The House was to be built in Ridgefield, Connecticut, United States. However, it wasn’t until 2001 that the structure was built as part of the Blue Moon architecture festival in Groningen. 

In this project, Hejduk uses the wall to reinterpret the traditional configuration of a house: instead of presenting the different spaces enclosed within the perimeter walls, in the Wall House 2 the rooms and the circulation systems are physically isolated from each other.

The kitchen, dining room, bedroom and living room are stacked curvilinear volumes, vertically linked by an independent circular staircase and connected to a study by a long corridor.

The wall, which Hejduk establishes between the rooms and the circulation systems so that one has to go through it to move from one room to another, becomes a passing line, a limit. A palette of yellow, green, black, brown and gray reinforces the division of the function of each volume.

Since 2004, Wall House has served cultural purposes under the Stichting Wall House Number 2 foundation, hosting artist residencies, public tours, events, and functioning as a knowledge center.
