the design draws influence from the sculptures of artist luo xu, and integrates a series of art deco elements to form its own unique identity.
a coconut leaf roof covers the entire ceiling.
the architects planted trees in the corner of both houses, allowing them to protrude outside the envelopes of the two dwellings.
Words fail me . . . this is very unusual . . . perhaps an interpretation of the Flintstones’ house by Donald Trump on LSD and built by Mussolini – on the other hand it has an admirable lack of artistic or philological pretensions and may appeal to those who enjoy the ambiance of an up market urinal.
Interesting forms cleverly intersecting. Feels just a wee bit overworked and mentally complicated making the spaces nervous or squirming to move.
Despite the positive aspects of the design, the approach, entry, garage area is poorly handled/hideous. The double garage, as the primary feature of the design, is like a typical ranch house in the US. The concrete driveway is also overwhelming. First impressions!
Отвратительно бестолковый дом.
Though the house definitely has some interesting style, the space use is incredibly irrational. The whole residence has a strange feel that the architect (or the client) wanted to see a few cute design finds like the bar table under the stairs, use of “positive space” created by the separate units, or separation of a master suite into its own unit, but the final realization is still crude and looks like it was designed by the 1-st year architecture student at most.
Pros: refreshing exterior, nice use of nature motifs in the interior, synergy of the interior materials.
Cons: crude and irrational space usage.
I like the commitment to a concept that permeates this project
one minor detail – the drapery intersecting the wall valence in the bedroom is rather sloppy
Beautifully modern with a color scheme displaying some old school class.
