looks coporate and very cold, a lot of superfluous interior design. A nice generic box.

It would be nice to see some exterior photos in the daytime, I would interested to see how it sits in its context.

who says minimalism is boring? so clean and elegant in its finishes.

i bet there is a lot more color when the camera is not around with kids toys etc etc.

hey rek, what’s the funny architceture that you love?those funkies designs that emulate in a horrible way the traditional old style made in plastic, or those things that pretend seem like a cell or something organic?i don’t know why the architecture has to be like a circus ore ridiculous multy curves or others like bugs.the architecture doesn’t have to seem like any other thing.it’s a house, period, nothing else.dont’t get confuse.

A little hint of colour in the furnishings would have been nice.

In the external view we see the curtains open to expose the rooms. But in all the internal shots the curtains are closed. The view out must be horrendous. Mrs Smythe, are you putting washing on the line in the nuddy again?

Very nice. The subtle textures are wonderful as is the hardwood floors and clean interior spaces.

first good “box architecture” seen a wile

These spaces are exceptionally well planned, but the whole comes off rather tepid. My guess is that this is a consequence of the detailing which, seems to lack the courage to be truly minimal or not.

Neither do I have anything against the use of bold pattern. Here, though, the reference to flocked wallpaper just looks like yuppie kitsch to me.

There are great artistic surfaces out there in the world to use. For instance I recall that the Osler residence in Brasilia by Marcio Kogan, here published http://www.archdaily.com/6446/osler-house-marcio-kogan/ made outstanding use of the designs of artist Athos Bulcão whose materials are still available http://www.fundathos.org.br/

Why not use real artists to make interesting surfaces?

Finally, I really do question the appropriateness of some of these choices for a house with growing children. Particularly the use of features like the glazed divider in the photograph don’t seem very well thought out. At least the kids might smear the walls with chocolate and give this structure some gestural life.

Why is architecture becoming so vague and uninteresting. Yes it clean and sofisticated but wheres that sparkle in its eye, wheres the little elements that you always remember. this is just another house entirley done in Viz or another computer program….great to get perspectives and reflections…but its NOT a home, its a capsule to keep your expensive furniture in
