Geometric Facade of Motel One Berlin by Pieter Struiksma

This impressive photograph shows the geometric splendour of the Motel One building in Berlin, captured from a zenith perspective. The repetition of the windows and the gleaming golden façade create a dynamic play of lines and shapes that draws the eye to the bright blue sky. The reflective surface subtly catches the light, creating shadows that add extra depth and dimension to the composition. The building's modern design symbolises the innovative architecture Berlin is known for.

Photographed on a clear day, the bright lighting highlights the contrasts between the clean lines and soft light. The photo captures not only the physical features of the building, but also the atmosphere of the city: a combination of sleek design and urban energy. An ode to contemporary architecture, this particular shot is an intriguing work of art for lovers of minimalism, symmetry and urban design.

With its powerful perspective and unique look, this image offers a surprising view of an iconic structure in the heart of Berlin.
