Which would be heathy, getting the occupant to "travel" from one space to another. Beautiful house, not so sure about the facade, but would love to visit it. :) Clever concept to get around the bureaucracy, It would be in interesting spatial flow.

But i suppose if that's your thing and the client is still eating the Pseudo Decon bs, everyone's happy. It is a nice enough building thou :) Ye I think often decon buildings like these create these wonderful awkward corners, for the sake of having awkward crners.

Very rarely can objects that have been intentionally deconstructed be rearranged in a cohesive way. This project is not unique in that its exploded plan has led to some programmatic issues; however, the climate would suggest a short walk between these functions would not be an overly uncomfortable. Not bad, but a somewhat tired concept in my humble opinion. The end product is nice enough, just nothing spectacular.

I also wonder how long the water would last before evaporating completely leaving a empty dark roof. looking at the surrounding landscaping it appears that the house is in a dry climate that doesn't get enough rainfall to maintain the roof pools.
