When Amsterdam architects O+A were asked to create an extension for a 1970s home in the Netherlands, the result was this interesting piece of architecture.
Though surely well done and stable, O+A's extension appears to be falling over. The addition by O+A was completed in the 1990s for a private client. It was built to accommodate a conference room and two-car garage.
I wonder what the neighbors think...
