Love it!!!!! SO....natural?
what about rain...? :)
I think there's glass on the top :)
Jenga anyone?
Cool except that there's about 50% chance that you will bump your head every move..
Oooo... No Feng Shui! Bad.
what about a matrass
sleeping on a solid wooden block can't be good for your back
sitting on it all day can't be good for your ass either
kitchen, bathrom, furniture... no?
Its JENGA!!!
next generation house? Seriously you architects need to pull your heads out of your pretentious asses. This is so not a practical design and its a waste of, albiet natural, material. Cedar? well if your posh and could afford to make a house that, for the life of me cannot figure out why, is not enclosed. Doesnt this defeat the purpose of a dwelling? is it not supposed to shelter you?
Call it what it is, a curiosity at best, but a next gen house? The blogger is too dumb to live and I predict will end up as a winning contestant at darwinawards.com
Anon #2 - The house is fully enclosed - there is glass in the openings on all exposed sides of the building. The NGH isn't meant to be a full time residence - it's a weekend house, and I can imagine coming out here to basically set up camp in nicer quarters than just a tent.
what about "function"?
what about form?
I think it's both formal and functional - its exterior space is kept within the confines of the cube, and the interior space is rigorously derived from the placement of the blocks of wood. It's functional in the sense that the form (derived by the placement of the blocks of wood) identifies spaces for storage, for sitting, for sleeping, for eating, for reading, etc. It's not an every day home, but I do think it's successful both functionally and formally.
Are you kidding me?! In no way is this functional. Let me repeat. IN NO WAY IS THIS FUNTIONAL. It looks neat for a kid to hang out in for awhile. But that thrill will be gone when you have to rush him to the hospital for slamming his head into one of the 300 sharp wooden corners. People try too damn hard to be artistic.
Well, rule out visits from anyone who is not young and fit: no disabled friends, no-one who needs a walking stick, probably no blind people. No-one who broke their leg while skiing. No wheelchair athletes. But hey! Who needs to talk with a person who is not young, fit, rich and beautiful?
Jugend uber alles!
It has not form nor function... and he meant form as in looks not as in un-casual. Next time say Algor invented, instant following.
we could call these amazing constructions cabins...but houses is pushing it. I enjoy the smooth wood aesthetic and the niches and groves that the materials and their placements provide. It is looking to the future.
