Illusion I
This elegant and aesthetically designed new office building, with 10 floors, features a recessed glass facade on its narrow ground-floor front.
This creates a varying length of overhang from the floor above at each of the building's two rounded corners.
But viewed from the sidewalk, from a worm's-eye view, the reflection of the ground-floor glass facade creates an optical illusion, a new architectural view of a freestanding, futuristic building whose underside resembles the wedge-shaped leaf of a birch tree.
The long exposure time of 7 minutes adds further drama with fast-moving clouds. Long exposure 423 sec. I LEE Little Stopper + LEE BIG Stopper
