Intertwining the exterior with the interior is an awesome idea by introducing light courts that cut through the house as cores is a great idea.

It seems like an average architect designed house. Better than some suburban development but not fantastic. I just don’t see anything unique or groundbreaking here.

However, it is not well implemented. The interior space needs a better layout and better composition. I think there are some good qualities about this house. However, it is not well implemented.

We couldn't go inside, but the outdoor spaces are pretty nice. Excellent use of concrete for the outdoor dining and gardening areas. A little extravagant for my taste, but still nice.

The ground floor looks like a public library rather than a cozy family space. The second floor doesn't seem to be well designed. For some reason, there is no picture of this floor(?) The bathrooms have no natural light/ventilation although it is easily achievable. Personally, I do not like structures where a huge and heavy mass stands on slim "sticks" and glass. It's against the nature of things. Nice aesthetics though, but it's not sufficient to make a good architecture. A simple house which likely doesn’t provide a good living conditions.
