treading lightly on the landscape, the building cantilevers out 27 meters to a point 18 meters above the terrain below.

the micro-hotel room is enclosed by a tiny topography of stepping terraces.
the architects say that the building, and the activity that takes place within it, is meant to transform the way in which buildings are designed, engineered, and built.
Very interesting concept for the function. Maximizes wall space. Perhaps a small window at the back right floor to ceiling and horizontally hight along the back exterior wall would more maximumize natural light and take advantage of wind direction to add to air flow. Variaions in roof angles would also be interesting and allow for additional floors or “green roofing. Maybe some visual interest in the main court yard. Considerable space is lost to stairways and you would need additional access for those who are older or have limited mobility, but I must say the stairs are lovely,albiet a little steep in one case. I am assuming they are designed for outdoor lecture space as well and given the hazard of wet, concrete stairs, you might want to consider a cover. This design might work well in a partial “earch works” plan. Just a few thoughts.
Excellent Work!
looks nice, but why you decided put it in so really random and strange place?
looks nice, but I don’t know about ventilation but the natural lighting is not very credible – I see neon light everywhere
Lovely!
Precioso!
this is really cool. seems totally out of place and in a random locale for a wifi island, but its quite ncie to look at.
