YES! Echos of the old Mexican vitality of cast in place concrete, naked steel glass frames and heroic three-dimentionality, but tamed now and made safe for polite society. Still… A keeper.

Landscaping and house combined beautifully. Some clever details. It is refreshing to see a contemporary project move away from sterile concrete landscaping

It is a pleasure to see a contemporary house with such an interesting exterior. Would have loved to see more pics of the interior as well.

Oh man If I see one more beautiful house this week I’m gonna breakdown!
This is a delightful, spacious, intelligent masterpiece and I want to live there.

Beautiful. Its great what you can do when you have relaxed (or no) building codes (and HOA’s) like we do here in SoFla.

The architecture is a beautiful orchestration of shapes weights spaces proportions and tones with acute attention to detail. It’s a modern classic.
However, one tiny detail has been overlooked.
The circular column in shot 6 strikes a note of dischord. If square, it would be in harmony.

Inside this excellent design, have been placed furniture and belongings that are a discomfort in comfortable architecture.
It is not only a jumble of contradicting styles, but also the placements are without harmony to spaces.
In shot 6, the picture between the window and wall explains the whole awkward canon.
Thankfully, none of it is fixed.
I think Maarit would be disappointed to see more.

What material is it?
Is it concrete? It is too smooth to be good! I thought it was wood at start!

But that’s part of a different issue isn’t it?
I say judge architecture on its merit and let interior decoration do its own thing.

Not sure I’d be disappointed, maybe rather surprised
There’s much more to interior than furniture and decorations, such as materials, lightning and use of space, which I’m more interested in. Furniture and belongins can be very personal and as I’ve said before “better personal than playing safe”. However I do agree that the picture is placed strangely.

This house’s architecture is extraordinary well proportioned. The main squared volume is a part of the golden section both vertically and horizontally. I bet the same principle is applied to the whole.
I am jealous!
