The angles of the house kind of destroy the courtyard

This is more architecture than it is a home.

the reflections in the interior garden seems like great concept, but i don’ understand why do’it the same with the exterior… pseidoinmaterial architecture

The over geometric rooms are probably very easy to put furnitures – that they can do with clients without an owner (not yet) tsss

What makes you think people are ‘too comfortable in their environments’? That’s a pretty strong assertion without much empirical data.

What worries me with all of this jagged geometry is that the architects are not showing us what influences it. I’m hoping that it is contextual, but I see a lot of work happening there that doesn’t seem to do much.

Spatially, I think this would make a great gallery, but it would drive me nuts as a residence.

And what happens when sun enters into the courtyard and reflects off of all the facets. I can’t even imagine how uncomfortable that glare would be.

Well I for one like it. I was just thinking the other day about the intrigue that a labyrinthian living space would have. Too many people are too comfortable in their environments, and such a confusing and complicated space might force them to pay more attention. Thinking back to what little I know of Greek (roman?) mythology, the story of the labyrinth fits well with the architect’s idea of a protected space, offering psychological distance from the world. That being said, I will concede that such a space might function better as a public than as a private space; once you got to know the space, it might loose much of its effect.

Whatever. It’s a cool house.

Nice reflections on those renderings. Otherwise this house is kind of scary with all the pointed geometry. It also reminds me of an above ground version of the last Ordos house posted – the jagged courtyards are almost identical.
