One of the only work prospects for non-English speakers involves standing on a busy street while holding printed advertising at the end of a stick or wearing it on boards around their neck, a position known as human billboard).

Inspired by the shape of the land the property needed to be built on (no one wanted the land for several years), the apartment building features a sharp acute-angle at one end. By filling the land as much as possible, the building manages to cram 567 sqm of space into the 261 sqm plot.

Watch your step – no, really. Each fade-in, fade-out, cross-tread LED light is a miniature marvel to behold in action, even inside a fairly conventional-looking home interior. Edo Kriegsmann is a German designer with a taste for interactive furniture, furnishings, and fixtures, including but not limited to light-up tables and this illuminated series of steps. The sensor at the bottom, once tripped, starts the sequence of lights leading up to the top of the steps – while not demonstrated, one has to hope there is a corresponding sensor at the top that performs the same function in reverse. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>
