I love the way the outdoor space is used as neither in nor out allowing maximum use. Love the fireplace ... One of those features we'll start seeing in so many more home.

Back to Top Symplicity Posted by Carlos Pacheco on 4/21/2007 8:35:00 AM The symplicity of the structural and interior design blends surperbly throughout the house. Le Corbusier's Villa Saboye inspired? Back to Top "wow". Posted by design cube on 4/27/2007 11:51:00 PM beautiful elevation,nice detailing. Back to Top living simple Posted by pao on 5/2/2007 9:17:00 PM i would like to say the simplicity of forms, the combination of lines and the material at it´s own capacity t express habitability and lightning. Then at the interiors the combination of textures and colors. And what can I say the of the indoor-outdoor experience!!! The only question that I have is what about movement the house seems like a huge cube but it´s really admirable!

Back to Top Form over function? Posted by Andrew on 10/8/2007 7:48:00 AM Beautiful house with obvious attention to detail, but it seems like poor parenting to have stairs with no guardrail in a house with two small children. The space certainly wouldn't seem as light and airy if a handrail was put in, but it strikes me as common sense... oh well, that gripe aside I would love to live here. Wonderful use of space, and the architect does a great job of meshing outdoor and indoor spaces. Back to Top Well, nice but... Posted by badmigraine on 10/8/2007 11:30:00 PM The structure and design is fantastic. But for me (heh!), I'd tweak some of it. It seems neither comfy nor human- or kid-friendly. As pointed out above, lack of a guardrail on the steps is inviting utter disaster, not just for kids but for anyone. My old Dad, for example. He needs a banister to get up and down. Or me. Have errant cats or toys in your house? One day they'll be underfoot on the stairs. Also don't like the furniture, all hard and edgy, doesn't appear too comfy. Getting those oranges out of the bowl on that low table, even lower than the reverse-angled chairs looks like a gravity-bench situp. Why does fashion and design have to punish the human form this way? Can houses of this design type stop ovewhelming interior decoration choices, or is the design a kind of totalitarian forcefield that affects everything inside? In this house, a patchwork quilt or cloth sofa might look like a hippie at a Devo concert. And finally, all that glass. Not only is it going to get smashed one day by a baseball or something else the kids do, but also, people can see everything inside this place as if you're on TV. You'd need curtains or blinds of some sort, and that will change the look dramatically and may affect some of the solar function.
