Nice…if you want to live in an office building.
Looks very corporate and therefore inhuman..much like our corporate elite.

I know this place. A no-holds-barred budget home for a billionairess.

You all ought to see the fence: it’s made of freestanding bronze bars. There’s no top rail. I figure it was at least five grand a running foot.

Very nice use of space. Love it.
There are a LOT of very tacky mini-mansions in that neighborhood, and this is a serene oasis.

‘…integral connection between interior and exterior’ indeed! I recommend visiting their website to view additional photos and preliminary graphics of the Orchard East House project.

Although not consistent with ‘contemporist’ aesthetics, their ‘Lakeside’ project is a real gem.

And I’ve always loved their ‘Depaul’ project.
