Richard Meier: Engel & Völkers Headquarters and Apartments

Richard Meier is a famous architect. In this post I want to discuss the Engel & Volkers Headquarters and Apartments located in Hamburg, Germany. The building was finished in 2012 and over looks a body of water. The building is very light in color being mostly white, which matches very well with the surrounding landscape. Upon first glance, I thought the building was beautiful. Inside the building there are lightly colored wood floors and white walls with elegant lighting. The outside of the building is also surrounded by a large amount of glass windows. This is supposed to portray the image of transparency. Additionally, the interior of the building is occupied by primarily offices and apartments. With buildings like this I see why Meier is one of the most widely known architects in the world.
