I love the bare bones of this but have to agree . . . the furnishing are not accenting the structure.

The outdoor reflects the indoor alot, very strong house but i cant handle that its used by a person or a familly..if its a Guesthouse it would be brillant.

A beautiful constructed house. In every room there seems to be an interesting viewing axis. I love the box in the box idea. It works well, making giving the inside an extra dimension. The choice of materials is restraint, keeping all the units together. I am not a big fan of the exposed concrete, but that’s only a cosmetical issue.
As for the furnishings, I think they spent the budget on the hifi system.

Agree with X and Oliver. Way too much going on . . . whatever happened to an economy of means? Just because you can do it doesn’t mean you should.

I think this is boring – there is no line. seems that they want everything and nothing in the same place … when you need lift up your fitness there is much place to do this (stairs, etc.) …

Absolutely amazing house, the usage of space and levels is incredible. I’d love to see floor plans for this one, its hard to visualize the interior layout from the photos. I agree with previous comments, the furniture choices are unfortunate, and appear incongruously cheap considering the obvious cost of the home itself.

There are moments I love, but there several I don’t. For example, the main living space with the $500K Hi-Fi system [4th photo from the bottom]. Perhaps it’s just the way the clients oriented their furniture, but it’s an awkward space. There’s no rhyme or reason to the space. In a high-end, custom, architecturally-designed home, it should be pretty obvious where the furniture goes as the architect would/should have thought about that. Secondly, it’s a very complex house [spatially], but the rest of the appliqué further complicates the space and detracts from the overarching thesis. Image 15 – there’s a lot going on and none of it seems to work? It just seems to be overdone in places: e.g. too many reveals, patterns, materials, random window sizes etc – mostly to do with millwork/interior finishes. Looks beautifully constructed. Love the front elevation and section.

What’s with the Wal-Mart stuff here? Bleh! Leave it unfurnished if you’re only going to put a few pieces of crappy furniture and horrible bedding in it, especially when you have such high ceilings.

Aesthetics aside, yes it’s a little “compoundish” and “bunkerish” looking, I’m sure it’s for someone in an important position who is always getting death threats and what not, but I like the floating levels and the slightly underground feel to it. The media room is just aching for a rave though. But as a house to live in everyday, I’d have to pass.

Wow, that is stunning… a bit of a labyrith maybe, but this is a house to experience and discover!

I see a little I.M. Pei in the design.
