propeller island - this means aesthetic sensation for the eye and the ear. propeller island is a pseudonym used by the german artist lars stroschen to publish his audio-visual creations. unlimited diversity, repeating nothing and copying nothing are the guiding principles here. the most popular result: the CITY LODGE, a habitable work of art in the heart of Berlin, whose wealth of ideas never fails to attract everyone into its gravitational field and to continue inspiring guests long afterwards. a magnet for creative individuals, those weary of consumption, those who see things differently, philosophers and seekers of perspective and vision. frequented by personalities from around the globe, this vision machine is a much-desired shooting site for photo sessions and video clips. is that perhaps the reason these rooms seem so familiar to you...? no, this is not one of those trendy designer hotels...it is more like a private planet which has evolved in unique synchronicity with the tastes of its inventor. here, nothing has been bought, every single construction is a singular novelty, everything is authentic and everything has its own special function - nothing is fake, nothing is mere decoration. no plastic and no papier-mâché. there is not just colourfulness behind these walls, but pure composition in vivid colours. the CITY LODGE is intensive but subtle, ironic but coy, an all-round work of art, including its resident sound-sculptures. whoever utilises the simple mechanical constructions here, really sees and knows what he/she is doing - a winking and welcoming alternative in a world of silicium cells. characteristically, this contrast programme to virtual and cyber spheres was conceived by someone who otherwise does everything by computer... whoever desires freedom can find perennial inspiration here. truly. the unfolding mental universe of our guests is the joy of the creator.    Symbol Room - Features: - squares of graphic-images Description: Created entirely from square wooden plates, this black and white room incites and excites the imagination to ponder the meaning of the one symbol or other. There are 300 altogether, which guarantees more than enough food for thought. The very intense room is part of the artist's private area and it is available as foto/video location.

    Castle Room -Features: - bed is a castle and furnitures are houses Description: T-H-E vintage City Lodge domicile - it all began with this room. Our guests slumber in the midst of a gigantic, colourful wooden fortress, between dwellings harbouring both wardrobe and desk. The meadow round the knight's helmet also has a miniature golf course in it! The colourful room is part of the artist's private area and it is available for foto/video sessions.

    Blue Room - Features: - Sails made of high-grade steel circumscribe the bed Description: In front of an exclusively blue background mirrored sails have been set up around the bed. This room was previously called Mirrors, it was and still remains one of the earliest City Lodge favourites.    Gruft - Features: - sleep in coffins - or in the labyrinth below Description: In both coffins you can even slumber beneath closed lids! Exclusively connoisseur room for all those "Nosferatus" who cannot wait for that which awaits us all. Whosoever has second thoughts can creep to the bedplace below, safe within the labyrinth. Not only a unique experience for Gothic die-hards...an exquisite location on top of that!   Padded Cell - Features: - Common shower room - No Smoking Room Description: From top to bottom and all around the bed, everything is upholstered with green leather. A kingly or queenly room where one can hear his own heart beat when the spirit grows weary. Small but exquisite, and undeniably noble on top of that!    Hol(l)y-Wood Features: - bathroom with red glas-walls - you may smoke on the balcony Description: In the wooden room the separate beds can both be reached with ladders at heights of 1 and 2 metres respectively. The bathroom has walls made of transparent red glass (though the washbasin and WC can be secluded with a curtain). On the walls you find chair upholstery from grandma's days. A beautiful balcony!    Space-Cube Features: - great light - balcony - crazy bed-mechanic Description: Shall we sleep together or in separate beds? You can decide at the last moment and crank the illuminated barrier between the bed halves up or down. The bed is a monolith and dispenses a mystically blue light with its walls of coloured glass. Not exclusively for eternal quarrelers! Whether homo, hetero or bi, happy here together, don't ask "why"!    Mirror Room Features: - Entirely decorated with mirrors - Common bathroom - No Smoking Room Description: Definitely one of City Lodge's highlights. The diamand-shaped room is completely(!) laid out with mirrors and gives you the impression of living in a kaleidoscope. Caution: Very sexy!    4 Beams Features: - bed is suspended from ropes (1.6 metres high) Description: Your place of rest is literally knotted to four large ceiling rafters with thick shipping rope. The bed suspended one and a half metres from above can only be reached with a vertical ladder. Climb, climb! Unfortuntately, security regulations bar this room from being rented out to overweight guests!    Two Lions Features: - sleep in a cage or double bed - beautiful wooden bath with balcony - biggest room, the 'suite' of the hotel Description: Dual cages, situated in the centre of this spacious menagerie, rest on stilts measuring 1.5 meters tall and await applause from the neighbouring guest(s). Your curtain presides over what your audience sees and what not! The roomy bathroom has a toilet that thrones atop a tower and permits peeks into the golden bathtub. In the cages kids love to sleep, otherwise the room is for two.    to see the rest of the rooms, go to;  http://www.propeller-island.com/
