The hundertwasser house is an extreme example of how housing identity is formed.  No two apprtments are alike.  the exteriour reflects dramatic colour and articulation.

"In the heart of the city, between Wilhelmspark and "Springs Park", the building complex designed by Hundertwasser and planned by Peter Pelikan was realised, with the surrounding buildings also integrated and refurbished, among them a house under protection as an historic monument, built in 1722, the first Soden spa hall, called Haus Bockenheimer."

"Like the Viennese project, the omplex in Bad Soden was brick-built with concrete ceilings. Five stairwells lead to the apartments situated on nine levels. The apartments, some of which take up several storeys, are designed as "houses within the house". They have individual ground plans, and every dwelling area has terraces with greenery or roof gardens. The arrangement of the various units of the building, their varying heights and forms, make the complex resemble a fortress."
