a hillside home in suburban stuttgart designed by j. mayer h. architects seeks to maximize views of a nearby valley with a composition of filleted corners and sweeping curves, while also breaking with the gridded residential area replete with stock 1960’s housing developments. a deep, recessed balcony characterizes the sinuous concrete form and protects the home from solar heat gain thereby continuing an environmentally friendly building system that includes weathered zinc and solar panels.

This is similar to Neill Denari’s work, right?
For my point of view, the line which is connecting the interior organic design and experimental exterior style is too thin.
masterpiece, every his works!
i love his works!
interesting interior but, for me, too heavy and very ugly outside.
