Another bold and shiny (and wonderful looking) home that is probably a sonic nightmare. All those hard surfaces create a noisy echo chamber. Is there a way around this?

This is an amazing house! Beauty in simplicity, I suppose.

@samwell: Rugs. Lots and lots of plushy rugs.
But yeah, I like the design of the house — especially the rose!chair with the green couch. I do wish it had more colour than just…white.

It is definitely an amazing house, but I dread the prospect of keeping all of that white clean.

I agree with the accoustic question. My problem with a home like this is that there are so many panes of glass inside. Like the “window” over the stairs, why is that there? Does it keep any noise from travelling downstairs or…? I would like to put picture frames or a little glass work up there, istead you have a window that is impossible to clean one side.

Not a house where people actually can live in. More like a office or hospital.

OK, but where do you keep your stuff, like clothes and such? it would always look out of place. Too sterile, beautiful though.

Yes, of course an acoustically “live” room can be tamed. Sound-absorbing materials like furnishings, rugs and even artwork can do a lot to break up the direct reflection of sound. As long as one of two opposing surfaces (like floor and ceiling) can absorb sound, the echo is dampened.

It would look much better with hardwood floors throughout, IMO. I like sleek homes, but this one is too sleek even for me and the white Panton chairs add to it.
As for “where do they keep their stuff”: the photos don’t show every corner of the house. I’m sure they have enough storage, otherwise such an extremely minimalist home would not be possible (even when you take into account that it is staged for the photos).

Technically superb. Visually predictable. Aesthetically impersonal. Emotionally barren.
Another “box to live in” without organic textures, visual variation, warmth or surprises – reductionist architecture posing as a home. I have seen operating suites with more character.
If this house were a person I would be bored listening to him/her within five minutes.

I get such a dreamy feel looking at this house, the cleanliness and simplicity of the design permit you to relax and experience visual clarity. I absolutely love it

This is the most amazing house I have ever seen. I never knew knew anything this beautiful existed.
