everybody who study architecture know that is so difficult to judge a project, because is necessary many analisys of it in aspects like design, function, beauty, relation with city etc.
to say that the project don’t have nothing amazing..well, i don’t thing that we can get this like an concret opinion about architecture. and i really believe that a lot of things were explored, otherwise, it wouldn’t be in this web site. The simple volumetric elements make the complex of it. like less is more.

Wonderful liveable architecture! Beautiful buildings doesn’t have to break the mould. And as a message to all young architects, please design from the inside-out. People have to live inside – a basic necessity…

@Punjabi and Lu

I can assume by your commentary that you both only looked at the pictures. I really think that with further analisys of the sections and plans both of you would realise it is far from a first year project. And Imagine if every building ever built brought a “break-thru”!? I’d really feel sorry about that, because it would banalize the acctual break-thru, and would make architects crazy, and with a feeling of under achivement. On top of that, and then I could understand your kind of feedback, neither of you is aware of the local conditioners, thus this building DO break a paradigma that is tipycal in our city (and considered the only sell-able tipology, wich of course this building proves wrong), that is placing the master bedroom at the front of the building.
But hey, that’s just my two cents!

I agree mith Punjabi, it’s boring.. it’s like those buildings we used to design in our first year of architecture…
