MARCO KOEPPEL & CARLOS MARTINEZ











The realisation of the schlafhaus was only

made possible because of the help and

interest of a great many friends and

associates. The unique method of design

enabled us to find sponsors for all elements

of construction. We were able to utilize the

new technology of wood cutting plotters

(which effortlessly cut the whole structure

directly from CAD-files) and the old

technology of fabric coverings (similar to older

aircraft and zeppelin design). As Marco said,

"we can do with these complicated forms

easily and for the money that the

´deconstructivists´ are building in a

complicated and costly manner".Before the

invention of the wood-plotter (of which there

are only three worldwide) it was impossible to

do those large curved structures cheaply; too

many carpenters worked for too long.
