facing the pacific ocean and totally surrounded by nature, the house offers a retreat among the jungles of oaxaca.
treading lightly on the landscape, the building cantilevers out 27 meters to a point 18 meters above the terrain below.
franck bohbot traveled to richard neutra's VDL research house II and documented it, capturing two generations of architectural experimentation.

the micro-hotel room is enclosed by a tiny topography of stepping terraces.
Unrealistic. Can’t be buillt. Cut the park in 2 parts. Receives the not so pleasant miami sun directly on the main facade (from the east) with no visible protection…But they still won …mmmmmhhhh I don’t know…”Show off” Architecture…not much thought?
hmmmmmmmmm…..
it´s an icon, BUT An almost “impossible” architectural realisation…
Maybe it was the purpose of the theme competition!!!!!!

Best of lucks to the winners.
Hmm… that is a BIG gesture. It reminds me of the work of some other BIG architecture company. I cant help but feel this is a BIG cut and paste of another architect’s style. Its a shame the concept doesn’t make use of the BIG space underneath the cantilever in its section. If it were up to another BIG architect, I’m sure they would have thought about how to more creatively utilize that BIG roofscape. I saw an aerial rendering of the BIG airplane window shot somewhere before as well. I also suppose they are going to have BIG structural issues, and in reality I dont know of any building material that would even allow something this BIG and unsupported to be built. But I appreciate the effort on submitting a BIG idea. Congrats to the designers on the BIG win.
how many entrants were there in this competition…one? seems like Dror took this from Bjarke Ingels’ bottom drawer
Stunning! Extremely clever and at once an overwhelming delight to see and behold. Big Congrats!
REFRESHING INSPIRING DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT
ah, it’s like the trunk of a robotic white elephant.
Un concept architectural très innovant. Les immeubles ne poussent plus à la verticale, mais plutôt à l’horizontal. On dirait que les lois de l’apesanteur n’existent plus!!
looks cool, but how does it work structurally? if there are going to be a lot of bracing, which we can find in many cantilever architecture projects, I think the shapes and locations of those opening might be very different.
