I think the ‘column’ is completely up to your personal prefrence, i mean the majority of the time good architecture is what looks ‘good’ to those involved/occupy/design.

In this case, i love the contrast in the steel columns with the finishings and exterior rendering. However i would feel more convinced about seperation of structure to the envelope, if the envelope it self consisted of smaller proportions to that off the steel coloumns. Contious windows replacing the walls with smaller mullions. A really light frammed envelope with the heavy structure expressed inside.

Yes,

I like a lot about this project. The materials, the drawings, the location, the aesthetic, the details and even what Whitney Sanders says about the columns… because, that is where I have one reservation – there is an uncomfortable disconnect between the enclosing envelope & structure and the refined interior fixtures and surfaces. It would have been good if these too had that sculptural quality… the feeling of structural pragmatism, using basic materials…. but, of course the client lives here, so…

I found Whiney Sanders response to the interior column question interesting. I’m wondering though if the future users of the building will have the same response. It’s one thing for the architect to promote their creative vision and yet quite another for the people who live in the structure to have to deal with it. That said, I think it is a beautiful home. I guess I too have to question the inclusion of the columns into the living space. I am just looking at some small photos though on screen. The actual reality of the space might change my viewpoint.

Jelson:

The columns are the main support for the house and quite necessary. I actually wanted to make them separate from the exterior (window) walls to emphasize the fact that one element is holding up the building, and the other element is enclosing it: keeping the rain out and the heat in.

I am not a fan of steel framed houses, but I certainly like this one. The interior is very nice too. Architects help me: are those columns between the kitchen space and the windows necessary?
