I did a Google search, interesting architect!
I would love to live in a home which connects with outdoors like that.

And now for something completely different: the Atomium in Brussels, one of my favourite buildings.
You really feel like you're in a scifi movie when you visit this place. If only one could travel back in time and visit Expo 58, aka the Brussels World's Fair.

Funny enough, I lived in Brussels for three years. Saw this often but never bothered to go inside.And now for something completely different: the Atomium in Brussels, one of my favourite buildings.

This is a great and very original sort of thread.
Victor Lusquiños, a Spanish architect, created this curiously curved multi-level house.
Sometimes a house can be a bit too connected to the outdoors. Reminds me of Flanders and Swann:
"Our boudoir on the open plan has been a huge success.
Though everywhere's so open, there's nowhere safe to dress!"

Not only are the views magnificent, but they often have little retro design exhibitions as well. It was like stepping back in time, the last time I was there.
Well this is awkward...my kids just informed me that we were at the la county museum of art (lacma) ... not la moma. It's next to the la brea tar pits. I need to download the images from my phone as the exterior art as well as the building design is SO TRW-esque.
And I need to share the camera set up locations at TRW for those who want to replicate the shoot there.
Things to do......

Yeah, it kind of does! But when you're inside, I'll bet it's amazing... those wonderful panoramic views. But it feels a bit over exposed. I'd install solar curtains.
Such a coincidence that this museum also has a sculpture by Alexander Calder next to it, just like the Neue Nationalgalerie. His work makes me happy!
As much as it probably irked Mississauga, Toronto City Hall was featured in TNG:

(although I realize the condos from your post weren't even conceived of when that episode was made).
In Salt Lake City there was a building that always seemed kind of '60s starbase-ish to me, it was part of the "Metropolitan Hall of Justice," a complex that had courts, county jail (part underground), prosecutors, city police and county sheriff offices all together (the SLCPD later moved out). The office tower actually sat on a smaller pedestal mostly just for the elevators, with some extra "stilt" supports. It was on the same block as the city library, and when there was a hostage situation there in 1994 a sheriff's lieutenant in plain clothes hurried from his office and managed to slip into the crowd of hostages and later put an end to the situation.
Anyway, everyone always joked the tower would just fall over in an earthquake but the demolition company actually had a hard time tearing it down in 2001.
