Hip Hop-Inspired Abodes

The Hive Graffiti Apartments by Zvi Belling are Sleek and Contemporary

— July 17, 2012 — Art & Design

This is the first building out of many that Zvi Belling architects will be designing that reflect hip hop culture. The main material used is concrete as an homage to the walls most street art is done on.

The idea behind this building was to create a permanent graffiti fixture that doesn't fade. The building has a sci-fi look to it, and the interior is full of warm and sophisticated modern designs. This building's unique style puts a twist on standard apartment building designs.
