i think this is a really cool building, but out of curiousity i did the math.
21,500sqm = 231,400sqf
12.6M euro = 17.9M $
=$77/sf

FOR REAL??? It is a little misleading to believe this to be accurate or true, unless I fudged my math somewhere. I see the interiors are rather sparse, but please fact check this one.

I like it. Large communal spaces, the relationship between these spaces and the outside and the plaza. But it looks too “cold”

Ci dovrebbero essere dei negozi e attività commerciali alla base invece che della terra, se no si crea un quartiere dormitorio.
There should be some shops and businesses at the base instead of the land, otherwise you create a neighborhood dormitory.

There is nothing new here. In 1925, Le Corbusier has drawn this same building on his project called ‘Immuebles-Villas’. If anyone go to the page 76 of the volume ‘Oeuvre Complete 1910-1929′, you’re going to find the same building (you can also go to the last pages of ‘Towards a New Architecture’). Maybe we just have here just a vulgar copy and anything new about facing housing problems. Are we facing the same problems on this beginning of the XXI century? In some ways, yes… but…

De un tiempo a esta parte, no se en que se está convirtiendo la arquitectura, ya que aparecen obras como esta, tan deficientes en composición.

PARECE QUE MIS AMIGOS DE mvrdv NO TIENEN VOCACION POR LA ESTETICA.

Perhaps the voids aren’t “profitable”, but there is something humanizing about having public housing that isn’t a typical floor plan extruded 20 stories.

That being said, I feel like the voids could have been used more effectively. Maybe it is the lack of furniture / people in the photos, but I feel like the spaces won’t be used – they are neither private nor public. I feel like the voids would not be a cool place to hang out because they are basically glorified hallways.

Jesus… that’s ugly!
I guess in the scale model probably it looks cool, but in real life, with that material and color selection…

Like it was said already: it looks like a prison, and I don’t want to live there (definitely). I also would like to know how they convinced the client to create all those holes in the facade. Furthermore, I would like to see a picture in the future with people using it… for a party? conversation place? smoking place? will neighbors complain?

It defeats its purpose, I would live there if I had to, I wouldn’t want to. Ideas are good if they are shared by those who use the spaces seemingly smart designers construe, if not, no matter how appealing to others, it simply is not successful. We all have to be communicators, original, passionate and ……effective, to allow for meaningful and enduring architecture to come to life.

I like the simple design. Grey (concrete) + White –> nice
I wish I can live in there.

I find it quite cool – there is really no façade game, just pure tectonics. But I would like to see some pictures while inhabited as well. I hope the void spaces work.

How are those voids profitable? how they manage to suppress that cost from getting to the dep´s owners?

As an architect, I understand such a design desicion, but will regular people pay for empty spaces…?

…personally I like the building.
