The rescue tower in Binz (D), today also known as the Müther Tower, was built as a lookout for the lifeguards in 1981. Ulrich Müther used minimal means to create a four-sided glazed edgeless space from his signature double-curved concrete shell construction. The futuristic building looks like a foundling left behind from the future. The interior space escapes reality through the omnipresent reflection of the horizon in all window fronts.
