Look at the building in context to its surroundings, the first few images and i think it looks great in London

I’ve been to see this house and was even given a tour by the owner, and yes there were a few interior details which could have been better. but overall it is a really nice house which by all acounts met the clients requests. I think the most striking thing for me was the sence of privacy one enjoyed while being in the centre of london wwhile getting loads of natural light (a theme which is constant in Adjaye’s work) And there are ventilation panels big ones as well as small ones designed so they can’t be seen when closed.

This is true masterpiece in comparison to anything Mr (I haven’t even a degree in Architecture and have simply made a killing by hiding everything behind a sheet of white MDF) Pawson!
This is a modern, intelligent and sublime interpretation of the way we live today. Well done David.

looks nice as a concept, but practacally speaking i would agree that a couple of ventillation windows and one opening skylight is not enough!
most houses have far too many dust particles wafting around that have nowhere to go without good ventillation, i would need an opener in the bedroom.
i do find this amount of minimalism to be to rather impersonal as well.
not what i’d want for my personal space.
i wonder how long timber decked walls will fair in the british climate as well.
also i i reckon he’s going to get some leaks around those frameless windows, they are a nightmare to seal.
feel sorry for the builder who had to make the dream a reality.

I hate the claustrophobic dark hallways around the house.

What do you do to feel a breeze? Most of the windows look non-operable, though I do see what looks like a ventilation panel. Adjaye is very talented as far as space and flow (and composition), seems a mistake to stylize the practical elements.
As to the quality of the work: this project is better designed than 95% of what is published. I’d wager the budget is miniscule compared to stunningly expensive pawson, silvestrin, and van duysen
