So much respect to the homeowners. Living in Australia and building a home with basically no closed doors, open to all the creepy crawlies ... They have balls
Beautiful and carefully considered design. Lovely home. I love that you were able to include the fallen hardwood trees in the components of the house. I also appreciate that you have someone walking throughout the house as you explain it. It gives us, the viewer, a great sense of space and proportion. Bravo!
Practical,yet beautiful! Instead of making the design conform to your will, wisely you conformed your design to the will of the landscape the home resides in.👍
Being in the concrete industry, I agree. Thems some sexy walls! And Ctops/stairs/floors lol. Concrete is sexy af! Such beautiful, subtle integration of materials in this space. Mixing wood, glass and metal on one door for example, in a sleek design, was underrated and bold and strong at the same time. This home and site sings such a natural and elegant story, without all the trappings of manufactured materials. Well done!
I live in a model template house in Japan. It has so many features that I see missing on architecture houses. Which IMHO make quite a difference for livability. That is not to say I don’t dream of some day having an architect designed home ;-)
Dark & uninviting-- far too much circulation @ A$1000/sq ft. I find this to be very lazy architecture. Of course this may be down to the client's demands, but this could have been a third the size & just as functional (and probably more attractive)!
How’s that? I saw it as an homage, obelisk like sculpture and incredibly respectful to the tree’s life actually. How is it any different than tree stump / driftwood sculpture?
