I count at least three: bedroom, bath, living, plus a stairwell detail. I think its great too. I even like the paint that I see. To each his own I suppose.

how do you know about how great the interior is… I saw four pics of the same room… and a lot of paint.

the entire midwest is riddled with bad 1990′s california…
randy brown, dan rockhill now this firm… the midwest, has no earthquakes or culture clash which give alibi to this stuff, so why don’t we praise good instead of the “weird”… el dorado is great, fey jones when he was great… marlon blackwell found a voice… this stuff is not cleaver or smart its just played out move on with real thoughts, and stop being ashamed of the
midwest and embrace it.

the interior is just great

No prank…I’m not sure what irony you see in that, so I’m not sure how to direct my comments. To reiterate, that seems like a bold enough move to carry the project on the interior and exterior, without the need for the mix of elements on the other elevation. Just my take…

“just to let the canted volume stand out as the central formal idea”

this is a prank right… just a big joke… good one guys, you got me

I really like the opening image, with the canted metal volume, and I like most of the interiors. I would tone down or quiet the other long side of the house – just to let the canted volume stand out as the central formal idea. The L-shaped screen/canopy at the perimeter of the site seems a bit superfluous.

On balance, mostly positive but I personally would do some editing.

The owners have decided its relevant. Personally, I’d reduce the number of parts/elements in the vocabulary, but thats just my opinion.

I’m, suprised that this has had any positive comments. no wonder people live in project homes when this is the alternative.

wpgmb: totally agree, couldn’t agree more, “loud voices”

I give the bathroom with the shower 6 months tops before it is smelling of mold and rotting wood. Not my idea of good design.

It’s overly complicated…

Yes, OKC has little going on (outside of Rand Elliote’s Office) but that doesn’t make this hodgepodge of angles and too many materials relevant!

The aluminium/zinc diagonal figure sort of reminds me of a post-modern chruch.
