photographed by cristóbal palma, the building is clad with dark timber boards that enclose a series of private spaces and direct views towards the crashing waves.
the main feature of the design is the huge kitchen, dining and living space that opens out to the pool and the horizon beyond.
the house consists of three separate brick volumes set above a continuous living space on the ground floor.
the renovation preserves the original masonry façade but carves out a new world inside, one which prioritizes light, space and openness.
keep doing this brother, its going to be big, so much potential, the first picture shows brilliant design solution!
I think that Faber is correct in stating that the estimated cost for the construction is well below what it would cost. I think that Mr. Faber’s correct in listing land prices, etc. as inhibiting factors, but I would include access to affordable transportation. All these are real problems and questions but that’s all part of project’s spec.. What Mr. West’s appears to be willing to do is put together a group of professionals to think further about the problem and has the financial resources to allow for experimentation.
Solving problems what we do as Architects, Engineers, and Designers? So I think we need to see if the commitment is real.
I mean, this guy is so egocentric and focused in self-achievement he thinks nobody tried this before. The lack of affordable houses it is usually related to land prices, overpopulation, small territories or excess of turism. But yeah, creating something that already exists and sell it as some brand new idea is the key…
Bullshit…
Good luck looking for someone who wants to build that kitchen for less than 30.000€. Look-out same finishes with top avant-garde brands such as Bulthaup.
Affordable housing my balls but ignorance is bliss, right? If this becomes a reality i am pretty sure the final result is going to be way different from those CGIs.
