apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Wow. Simplicity at its best. I am in awe. I guess with such a great space, you don't feel the need to add unnecessary accessories/furniture.

Instead of just showing us some pretty pictures, maybe you could describe how they were able to hid some of the necessary components of a normal home; heating & AC, drainage, electrical, etc.

Also, would it kill you to post the floor plans?

We Posted this on AT Boston in October describing a little more about the concept of the design...

Also, Guerilla if you follow our link to Arch Daily you will find plans and sections.

This is another "show house". That is, no one will ever live in this space. It's mainly a means for the architect to "wow" potential clients or to show off bleeding edge design concepts. This is why you don't see any of the necessities of daily life like the heating, AC, electric, etc. (as guerilla mentioned). They're not needed because this is not a real living space, nor will it ever be.

It's very common in Japan for showcase houses to be built and torn down. It's very wasteful (the amount of garbage produced when it's knocked over is huge), but I guess it looks pretty impressive.

Guerilla,
Based on your tone, I don't think you'd mind if it would in fact kill them to post floor plans.

Love it!!! Wonder how it'd look in snow country???

cool as a conceptual space but uninhabitable by definition.
