awesome dign, but somehow, it reminds me of US’s F-117 nighthawk. stealth of course
like a space craft just landed
it reminds me of a current ABC add on tv where a man unfolds shapes very similar into a form suggesting an abode….how strong are the materials, will it stand the test of time
so disturbing to actually live in!
visually captivating yes!
practical? i doubt
besides
its a very common style
zaha hadid does all that disturbing work too, in a much more refined style!
a truly amazing home. well deserved award for these aussie architects,the exceptional trades involved and very lucky owners.
congratulations.
The only problem is the bottom … Nice job. Specially the balcony.
