It totally does my head in!! I'm afraid I can't find anything to like.

But this is a very well thought out livable space. And that kids room...I would have loved being a kid living in that home. At first glance the home doesn’t look too smart.

It is simply inspired! The finishes on the walls, the holes in the "ceiling". The little hidden gems are scattered all over this deceptive treasure. Wonderful work.

Steel, stone and glass. I would have placed less emphasis on the beams keeping them white, and the staircase a lighter colour. The fact that there are no real rooms +++. Air circulation!
