He’s into art and it’s minimalist design at it’s best which is clearly his decorative style that he likes. Anyone that thinks he’s crazy and lost his mind just needs to venture outside the box for a sec…. for real.

He’s got worldly interests other than being a rapper in the hood. Sorry, face it.

i love all those who say ” they could have made this place”. first off, you most definitely could not. there is an almost science to minimalist design. i know this as i am a designer who specializes in minimalism. and for the record, for those who have complained about not seeing this element or that, i can guarantee that they are there

minimalism will never go out, but it does look like something out of house and home magazine 1994. (the colours).

its ok.

If he likes it, you know, whatever. It’s not as if he doesn’t have about twelve other houses to keep the rest of his stuff in anyhow.

I thought this was an architecture site? Above is a gallery, not a studio apartment. While I do like the decor and finishes. This place has no functionality. The corridor is a complete waste of drywall . Space and continuity are not this architect’s strong suit as offset soffits being placed throughout. This is amateur hour.

sorry who is this west guy?

i’m glad a couple of people finally mentioned the fact that these are renderings, (not sure how you say it on the streets – done on a computer – WORD) the final thing will probably be quite different.

most of these comments are pretty laughable, but i think the pinnacle is Ulanbator calling it ‘undesigned’…love it or hate it, (i think it’s ok in places) doing something so minimalistic takes longer than many approaches because each element takes on greater significance. it’s over-designed if anything.

Did anyone even mention the fact that these are on renderings from some 3d modeling/animation program that isn’t the finished thing which will probably look alot better in real life and once you see kanye’s personal touch added to the equation.
to many abberated comments on here.
i think it looks great.

the entrance hall is truly rank. bad minimalism is pathetic… and not in a good way.
