Very nice and ostensibly more functional.

Extreme maximisation of glass surfaces does not make sense energy-wise. Visitors who don't know the place, who are middle age or have a bad vision or both are bound, sooner or later, to knock their heads into a glass wall. Total lack of warmth. Will probably serve as an exemplar of absurd design later in this 21st century. Yet another example of an exercise in modernism that should not have left the studio…

Thats what would make it a home. Personally i LOVE this house. Im from the seattle area and my heating bill is high enough- so im guessing this ones would be pricey. I really wouldn't care if i lived here though, especially considering how much money you would need to have to live here in the first place :) Think i saw a fireplace though. Maybe. That would be a cheap way to warm it up a little. people keep saying it doesn’t look homey- but whenever you see houses on display they dont. obviously if someone moved in they could furnish it differently and add some pictures and personal items.

But this is so beautiful, I have to say something. Something like Frank Lloyd Wright, by way of Philip Johnson, by way of... I don't know. But it is so appealing in its totally non-European but rather, very traditional Americanistic modernist way. I love to find the sweet spot of a building. The view which the architect saw and worked out of. But this building has many sweet spots. The question of energy loss is not an important consideration. If the materials don't exist now which would hold energy in, they will be developed soon. Design which outstrips materials is an old conundrum. If Wright had paid attention to it he would never have gotten to first base. I would live here in a trice. Ordinarily I would pass by, say nothing. But this is so beautiful, I have to say something.

I'm guessing over standard or double pane windows and thermal flooring. Oh yea, get off my lawn! Excellent use of lines on the horizontal plane.
