I have to admit I was surprised at how much I like this. I think the measure for how well concieved this is,is how easily it could not have worked.

This is what I want in city living. Leaves all that sensory overload outside the door. Livable save for the sink, which is useful for rinsing a fruit and not much else. I’d add a bonsai for serenity, a mesoptamiam/babylonian sculpture on a pedestal somewhere to contrast with the modernity and echo the sculptural lines of the staircase. The warm woods and textured stones I’d use in a vacation house to balance.

Jacobsen, Cherner, Saarinen, Eames, Yanagi… (I am sure I missed several others) if you associate your architecture with great, classic furniture designs maybe it will become a classic also? In this case I expect that is true.

This classy. Absolutely fab stairs. Why don’t we see these more? They can enhance minimal designed interiors in a great way.

White is the most lively color there is providing it receives natural light. We don’t like the hospital or bathroom white because it is often lit by a fluorescent light source. Then it gets washed out and doesn’t show it’s subtle palette of bounced light on it’s surface.

stale, way to stale. it’s painful quite honestly. such nice spaces, killer design on the stairs, but the white on white on white with dark floors only becomes painful. might as well have put them in a hospital. the images are nice, but no way i’d ever be able to live in this. far too stale.

Ok, the lottery is up to 145 million… What are architect fees running in Canada these days?

I’d love to turn GH3 loose with a couple million dollar budget.

Agree with Lance, this house is perfection! I f@*kin’ love it! It would also have been cool with white marble floors or white ceramic tile floors, but with the dark wood, it would stay cleaner longer. Not to mention makes it more livable.

Swoon! I’m not generally a fan of total white, but the dark floor, sweeping stairs and expanse of glass really make this a standout home. The grey from the marble and the texture of the 1×1 tiles in the bathroom make the bathroom feel as if it’s not the ice cube a lot of “white”, modern bathrooms are. Perfection.
