apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

This is absurdly luscious. Damn!

Ooooooooh. I need this house.

This house is so incredibly beautiful that I can't imagine why anyone would vote "not".

Love.

I was thinking the same thing as Jazzberry...

oh my my my... in love beyond beyond... oh my...

i saw this a few months ago at archdaily. its an amazing house but i think i'd only have it as a vacation home. living in a curved wall house all year long might gets boring after awhile.

Just imagining being inside this house makes me feel calm and soothed. Lovely.

My wife and I agree that the people who voted "not" did so - - because they envy the people that might live there.

OK, I'll admit it. I am a "no" vote. Although I don't challenge you if you drool for it.

As a living space, it looks pretentious to me. It's very one note. I'm bored with it already. It would make a great set for the next James Bond movie. Or a photoshoot for an nearly naked Gisele and the latest Louis Vuitton bag. But I don't see it in real people's lives.

Sorry!

"living in a curved wall house all year long might gets (sic) boring after awhile."

So living in a house with flat walls and boxy rooms is a neverending thrill?

i love it immensely

While curved are walls inherently impractical & to be avoided, I must admit that I find this pretty spectacular! (Who needs to hang silly art on the walls, when the house itself is a work of art?)

I love the architect but it looks very cold inside. I think the architect just designed EVERYTHING including the interiors. I don't think it's wrong. It just look like someone just wear Gucci from head to toe.

It will need some finishing touch so will look like human live in there not just a museum place. Normally in Metropolitan or Elle Decor magazine they will show like someone actually lives in each photo, such as a cup of coffee and opened book on the desk, flowers vase, loose fruits on kitchen counter top, shoes on floor, cute dog with dog bowl, etc. Those will help these photos to look more alive and not too stiff.

You think it uninviting, Quiltmaster? Funny, I think it'd be an extraordinarily pleasant place to live-- luscious wood floors & decks, sensuous curved walls, lots of windows, and a forest right outside your door-- what's NOT to like?

(Actually, if find the landscaping a little strange-- namely, the bed of what appear to be dwarf pine trees.)

Is this a critique of the house, or the photo styling? I don't know about everyone else, but I don't NEED to see a little tableau of carelessly-tossed-aside-book/ bowl-of-lemons/ smelly-sneakers-airing-on-the-porch to imagine what it'd be like to live here.

I need to change my underwear. Love.

Ew BillyRes that's gross... but I do love this house. I wonder if every single wall is curved? I agree that they are incredibly beautiful throughout the house, however I don't see a single straight wall, I agree that the wall itself is art, but I have a lot of pictures hung on my walls... that's just me and it's probably just the pictures. Beautiful design though, I don't think it feels cold at all. I'm drooling over the windows and location. The deck is beautiful, i would be torn between where I wanted to spend my time, inside or on the deck!

I'm afraid this house would roll away during a downpour or quake!

LOVE. In every way. It mellows my harsh.

I get it! It's a modern hobbit hole!

I do like it, though. The house (the back part, at least) seems more integrated into the landscape (love the deck curving around the tree) than a traditional angular structure.

This is what life in the future was supposed to be.

I WANT TO LIVE THERE!

Not for me, a little too extreme.

That's so hot you'd need an asbestos suit to live there!!!

When I saw it, for some reason, I kept thinking of Woody Allen's "Sleeper". It's beautiful, but rather one of those visions of the future as it never will be (M.Hulot's Holiday for example). Definitely a holiday home.

A wonderful mix of open-to-nature with a bit of cave-like-shelter coziness -- I love it. Take a second look, there are amazing moments of top-notch craftmanship: I especially love the layered detail of the decks and steps (see photo #3).

i usually love things like this. the design, materials & setting are definitely beautiful. but for those wondering how people could vote note for this - i did so because of the wasted space it involves. maybe if they lived there 24-7 or if it were scaled down i would feel differently. just being a tree hugger.

Wow. I'm too big a slob to ever live like that, but it's gorgeous. How could anyone vote "not"?

I want to be in that bathtub right now.

I expected this to have more "not" votes-- because I voted "hot", and normally my tastes so often seem to go against the grain of this community (I'm not into the whole ultra-modern minimalistic thing that seems to be all the vogue these days).

But I really liked this.

phooey

Wow

Incredible.
Can you imagine this style on a beach?
