This hosue is not too bad but the wooden cladding is quite distracting (but strangely visually appealing too though) and will prove to have been a bad idea as the high maintanance kicks in later on…

it seems that inside is more simple and looks better than aplicative outside fasades

The stairs are immense, I like the way the back looks onto the park/bowling green. The inside appears to be fairly spacious to. Overall a good design I believe.

yeah the stairs are really beautiful, bu the first thing that popped out at me when I saw them was how difficult it would be to clean/dust the overhangs, that one inch surface on the opposite side of the glass, especially near the top. Oh well, I guess if this is your house, you’re not going to clean it anyway, so it’s not a big deal!

a misapplication of the herringbone, if i ever saw one.
what an unnecessary visual distraction it is.
