This hotchpotch of primary colours, onion domes and ceramic cladding on the façade of the Hundertwasserhaus was born out of the imagination of Austrian hippy artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. He transformed a lacklustre apartment block into an array of styles featuring oriel windows, loggias, pillars, glass trimmings and roof gardens; anything to destroy the straight line and deviate from the ordinary. The 50 apartments were given rolling terracotta floors and, although they are closed to the public, the building is now a much loved tourist attraction.
