I do love the house but I’m confused by the comments that refer to the colors as “audacious,” “loud,” and “bright.” Are we looking at the same house? The only bright colors I see are in the painting and the rug. The dark tile and green glass may be “unconventional,” but they also serve to actually camouflage the house in its environment. Hardly “loud.”

The stacked “endgrain” glass window is brilliant. It uses integrity of material for the combined results of aesthetics, camouflage, and privacy. Brilliant.

The stairwell that integrates solar gain with thermal mass, while also providing an amazing viewing experience from inside and out is also exquisite.

are you implying that pools aren’t “environmentally responsible”?… If so grow some balls and say it instead of being catty; because I can assure you that there are quite a few people here that will disagree.

Agreed, the choice of materials is quite clever, playful and elegant.
It reminds me of Mexican architecture, dont know exactly why, perhaps the use of that stone tile which is used a lot here (or similar ones), and also the bright colors.
What a cool house!

i love the picture with the kids and that toy train… shows an unexpected situation…to me that is. haven’t imagined that looking at first couple of images. architecture truly can be art that is meant to be used.
