Not functionally confortable, do you know the clients?, If so, please post their reaction and discomfort, if not, shut the hell up.

Not energy efficient?, I swear this LEED fad is getting on my nerves, we in southamerica design and build respecting the environment (I have to agree with not all the architects though)

Do you know the conditions of the site?, hows not energy efficient according to you?, do you have some technical and environmental info on the project that we don’t know?, If so, please post it so you can validate your arguments, if not, again, SHUT THE HECK UP!!!

What I see:

-They didn’t flattened the land, they actually used the site’s slope.

-The house is semi-buried, and the roof is covered in stones (probably local)Just because of those 2 design decisions, the house looks “cool” to me (in terms of temperature. And looking the pictures, you can tell there’s no A/C vents in the ceiling along the glass doors, so that pretty much proves my point, no need to use A/C.

- High maintenance structure?????, It’s “concreto obra limpia” (poured exposed concrete), there’s no need to maintain anything there!

- Learn from local construction?, that’s Peru, in latinamerica, guess what, you know what’s our main construction material? CONCRETE! You can’t compare the US or Europe to southamerica, actually building in wood (wood frames, sheating, etc) would be an “environmental crime” in some southamerican countries.
