Waldspirale is a residential building complex in Darmstadt, Germany, built
in the 1990s. The name translates into English as forest spiral, reflecting
both the general plan of the building and the fact that it has a green roof.
It was designed by Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, planned
and implemented by architect Heinz M. Springmann, and constructed
by the Bauverein Darmstadt company. The green roof complex has 105
apartments, residential and commercial parking for cafe and bar, the last
two being located at the top of the spiral. The building has over a thousand
windows, none of which are alike.
