Staircase Serenade
An intriguing interplay of wooden fence slats and metal railing, dancing in unison to the architectural rhythm of stairs.
In this harmonious composition of texture and line, a wooden fence boldly intersects the view of a metal staircase railing. The parallel slats cast a symphony of shadows, echoing the rise and fall of the steps behind. The stark contrast of weathered wood against sleek metal captures a fleeting moment of urban design—a visual performance that accentuates the everyday yet often overlooked choreography between materials and form.

Geometry in Contrast
A sleek metal-clad facade punctuated by a striking yellow door frame and window frame. Against the canvas of urban conformity, the metal panels lay in strict formation, a silent testament to the order of architectural design. Yet in this sea of grayscale precision, the yellow frames stand as defiant beacons, portals of warmth inviting the gaze to linger, to question, to wonder at the stories unfolding within. Amidst the disciplined array of metal that adorns the building’s face, a singular streetlamp stands as a silent sentinel, its twin lights casting soft glows at night that dance across the surface, softening the rigid lines. The yellow door and window frames are not mere interruptions but vibrant exclamations, injecting life into the monochrome expanse, whispering tales of the life that stirs behind the serene exterior. The shadows of leafless tree branches on the facade testify to the power of light and shadow.

Urban Renewal Unveiled: The Gallus District Transformation
In Frankfurt's Gallus district, a construction site reveals the cyclical nature of urban life, where demolition paves the way for new beginnings. The photograph captures a poignant moment at a construction site in Frankfurt's Gallus district, where a building is being dismantled. A mountain of rubble and metal lies before the hollowed-out structure, symbolizing the ongoing cycle of destruction and redevelopment in the pursuit of urban progress, a testament to the city's ever-evolving landscape, symbolizing both the end of an era and the raw materials of future changes.

Engineering Elegance: The Convergence of Construction and Design
A study in contrasts: the stark functionality of a crane’s arm intersects with the sleek modernity of a glass facade, reflecting the ever-evolving narrative of urban development. This photograph captures a compelling tableau within an urban development setting. The focal point is the bright yellow boom of a construction crane, a symbol of growth and progress, extending across the frame. It represents the dynamic nature of architectural innovation, a necessary tool that facilitates the birth of structures that will soon define the city’s skyline. To the left, the crane contrasts with the meticulously arranged glass panels of a contemporary building’s facade. These panels reflect the azure hues of the sky, creating a mesmerizing pattern of light and color that playfully changes with the viewer’s perspective. The image encapsulates a moment of stillness in the bustling life cycle of urban expansion, a frozen dance between the raw industrial might of the crane and the refined aesthetic of modern architecture. The composition not only highlights the juxtaposition of colors and forms but also tells a broader story of human ingenuity and the intricate ballet of construction that shapes our habitats.

This is one of my photographs that belongs to hyperrealism, creating illusions with the aim of highlighting the architectural reality that surrounds us. This work goes beyond photorealism, as I use the intensification of color, contrast and sharpness to highlight architectural details that we often do not notice in everyday life for various reasons. Thus, I create more intense representations of what is perceptible to the naked eye.

Reflections of a building in the facade of the ARCOTEL Onyx Hotel near the Reeperbahn in Hamburg. The facade of the hotel captivates with sharp contours and shimmering exterior surfaces. The construction with a glass curtain wall is reminiscent of the crystal Onyx. The contours mimic the sharp edges of a crystal. Glass elements and vacuum panels were combined as flush window structures. The square windows with circular gradient print on the edge were integrated flush with the façade structure. At night, the internally illuminated transparent surfaces act as spotlights directed at the building structure. The glass facade was screen-printed with a special ink. The rear glasses are enameled.

The house has the shape of a flattened rotational ellipsoid and is made of fibreglass with polyurethane insulation. It measures 8 metres in diameter, is 4 metres high and weighs 4 tonnes with complete furnishings. The house can thus be brought into difficult terrain by transport helicopters and should stand on prefabricated concrete bases. It is heated electrically. In 1968, the house cost 12,000 US dollars.

This image captures the unique architecture of a building with protruding cubic balconies painted in vibrant green, contrasting starkly against the grey concrete and clear blue sky. This photograph presents a striking example of modern architectural design. It features a high-rise building characterized by its grey concrete facade that serves as a neutral canvas for the geometric playfulness of green cubic balconies. These three-dimensional features jut out from the building, providing not only functional outdoor space but also a visual spectacle. The green of the balconies and the vertical lime green lines create a stark contrast with the deep blue of the sky, emphasizing the building’s height and the boldness of its design. The image celebrates the intersection of utility and aesthetic in urban structures, where everyday living spaces are transformed into living art.
