apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I'm loving those angled windows!
I could move right in...

my three favorite words... glass, concrete and steel. i LOVE it! the simplicity of the courtyard... i love it. it's like an abstract painting!

I can understand adults chosing to live in such a sparse place, but I wonder what that does to the kids? I grew up playing hide and seek in my friends giant victorian house - full of nooks and crannies and odd little stairwells. Altho - this place looks like it would be much better for rollerskating than said Victorian.

The openness and the high ceilings are fantastic. I dream of having a home like this, I love it. Awesome!

ok so the picture of the little bub in the grass/stone and white room is a tad creepy. lab testing style.

i cannot put my finger on why this feels so pretentious. i look at converted contemporary loft spaces all the time, and i usually lust after them, but this one smacks of cold cold cold, so self-conscious and very off-putting. the gate around the stairwell feels like a prison. it doesn't feel liveable. i think i'd be miserable at a party full of people who would be oohing and aahing in this space, never mind the "perfect couple w/baby" who are inhabiting it.

I like very much the inside, but the outside it is a bit scaring!

I can see this as beautiful from an artistic point of view.
I wonder if any Architect has done a study on how living in a minimalist environment affects child development?
I grew up in a home that was "clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy". By that definition, this place does not look fun.
