Actually the lot was bulldozed about three owners ago.

You went to a lot of trouble to be “environmental” and “green” and “renewable” with your materials, then you bulldozed the wonderfully rolling countryside to force your flat lot concept into it’s setting. Don’t talk the talk if you ain’t walkin the walk.

Nice project, I like the rust idea blending into the surroundings etc, and the pure construction. Nice to see some clean modernist architecture as opposed to the usual gratuitous 3d generated spew.

great materiality… and would be fantastic if not for all those flying roofs which just looks out of place.

Maybe it’s because the landscaping isn’t complete, but this glass shipping container on stilts does little to connect to the lushness and beauty of Santa Barbara’s coastline.

some fine moments, but a little too much bravado and not enough substance.
the pool area seem particularly unsuccessful.

Let me preface this statement by saying that it’s an utterly personal viewpoint, based entirely on how I’m feeling recently… so… Oh, how I wish I could actually afford such a structure. And, here’s where the problem lies… if most of us can afford such beauty, what, exactly, is the point? I don’t mean this to appear disrespectful to the designer(s). It’s just that I, as fairly typical human being, making a very typically decent salary… would never be able to afford this. It’s somehow delicious, however, that only those with a lot of money can afford to have their home ‘rust’ and be proud of it.
