Beautiful and it’s purpose so honest!
I <3 this form!
it looks fantastic. simplicity and purity in the form and detailing to producing a very successful result!
i´m hipnotized by the wat japaneses use simplicity… is simplicity a cure for our times, for our minds? Or is it just a speed way to remain here?
the way*
I like the bathroom,can see the stars .
Nice simple form. Unfortunatly you can see the person showering in the bathroom by sitting in the living room and seeing the reflection in the glass doors.
Замечательно. Просто и лаконично.
Beautiful. Simply and succinctly.
great balance…….
Yes, VERY unfortunate that you can see the person showering. Maybe the client just wanted this kinky little cenario.
it is amazing for its simplicity
