An image from Sven Hauth’s current personal project. Sven is re-creating buildings from his birthplace, the city of Kiel. He took photos from which he isloated certain parts, then reconstructed missing elements (usually the underside) as 3D renderings, so that the building fragment appears to float in mid air.

A note on this piece, “Hotel Astor”: 

“This hotel was built in the 50s, and as far as I can remember, it has always looked the same. While contemporary hotels have popped up all around it, this one still stands its ground and oozes retro style. The rooftop bar used to be a popular spot, but not sure if it’s still in operation. I really love the typography – big letters like these are rarely used anymore in outdoor advertising. Let’s hope they won’t modernize the exterior of this one any time soon.”
