Brass hardware and grey timber joinery also introduce warm and tactile details.Ħa Architects was founded by Tom Emerson and Stephanie Macdonald in 2001, who met at the Royal College of Art. The prevalent use of concrete is softened by the natural light that infiltrates the building, as well as by the planted gardens. Metal drainpipes direct rainwater into the gardens, and straight into a cylindrical fish pond in the corner of one of the outdoor spaces. The gaps between the monolithic concrete structures function as outdoor rooms featuring local plants chosen by garden designer Dan Pearson to evoke patches of the city where trees and shrubs have naturally sprouted from buildings. The furthest of the three structures accommodates a kitchen on its ground floor and an apartment above.Ĭoncrete is used throughout the building in various forms as cement blockwork walls, poured floors, and in the form of large beams that push against the party walls on either side.

The scenes in the film are out of order and you might have a tough time understanding it. The DVD badly dubbed in English and sold under the title 'Naked in the night' is a total disaster.

Director Kurt Meisel also managed to create a compelling atmosphere that is fascinating and stays with you long after viewing the film. I saw 'Madeleine' many years ago in German with English subtitles and I was very impressed by the way it handled the subject matter, by the cinematography, and by the acting.

If you read the other reviews you know by now that this film is about prostitution.
