I love the steel fireplace in the center of the house, it will be fantastic to have something like that glowing and emitting heat in all directions in the winter. One issue with a steel fireplace is that once the fire dies out, all the heat radiation is lost and the house will cool down very quickly, having the fireplace set into a thermal mass wall would stabilize the winter temperature much better. But that floating fireplace in the middle of the house does look amazing.

Another issue I would like to bring up is the gradual decay and erosion that the rammed earth parapet walls will suffer from. Here in Tucson, Arizona there is a lot of rammed earth walls that are decaying due to rain. I think it looks wonderful to have the tops of the walls slowly lose their sharp edges, and gradually melt over the decades. I just hope that this is expected and wanted. A very easy and unsightly solution would be to make a flat metal cap along the tops of the parapets to prevent the rain from soaking in and weakening the walls.

Well done guys, looks amazing.

The house is okay but the sorroundings just deserve much better attention to details, window frames and so on has such lame proportions..
I don’t know if I would use the courtyard, I get that it’s windy but sitting outside and having to look through the living room to see the view seems a bit depressing.

Diggind down 4,5 kms of powerlines seems aggressive compared to a little wind turbine or solarpower.. Or is that just me?

It’s thread on PushPullBar has more info on it.
