The building is known as ‘Courtyard of Elements’ and is a part of Kunsthofpassage series of courtyards which is the brain child of tenants of apartment buildings on which these artworks are being installed. This particular artwork comes from sculptor Annette Paul and designers Christoph Rossner and Andre Tempel. The idea was inspired by the Rube Goldberg Machine which converts the mere average rainfall sound into a symphony which comes right from the Orchestra.

Apparently, these artists were not satisfied enough with how the rain sounds and decided to make some improvements to it. The acoustics involved have made it possible to bring music into the life of the tenants.Check out the video below for more details:

This singing wall has tourists braving stormy weather to listen to its music, composed only when skies are grey.

An intricate system of drains and funnels is attached on the outside of a colorful house in Germany and when it rains the entire building becomes an instrument.

The house is located in Neustadt Kunsthofpassage, an area of Dresden part of an arts project called the Courtyard of Elements.

Rain rhapsody: The front of the house is adorned with an intricate network of drains which creates sweet music when it rains

The singing house was created by sculptor Annette Paul and designers Christoph Rossner and André Tempel, who all live in the musical home.

Ms Paul said she was inspired by her home in St Petersburg where she would listen to the ‘rain theatre’ of the pipes outside her home.

The Courtyard of Elements also have a yellow façade with aluminum panels representing the light, and  a green one adorned with giraffes and monkeys representing the animals.

Neustadt Kunsthofpassage has a total of five courtyards, including the ‘Courtyard of Metamorphoses and the Couryard of Mythical Creatures’
