Good box on the hugely open site. I was thinking why just a rectangular box there is lots of shape in geometry
love it!
Haresh, i don’t really get your comment…why not a rectangular box?a non regular shaped form is a best option for start just because??
Architecture is not the quest for originality.
ditto – no blobs req
I agree with pedro. If a simple box has the solutions needed, then i don`t see any point in making complicated things just for eye candy.
it’s true. some designers these days just go for that shock factor. i feel that simplicity can be just as “complicated”– it is the discipline to restrain from creating wasteful space and things— and starting from what is necessary.
i feel the photography isn’t really telling the complete story here… especially in those interior shots.
