I’m not an architect, just a guy interested in having an alternative to a stick-built residence; something newer, durable and inexpensive. It seems that steel and/or concrete are the answers. I found this building while searching for designs. Its low-cost and simplicity are appealing but it doesn’t seem to allow for privacy or the accumulation of stuff. The siting doesn’t allow for gardening or any form of off-the grid self-sufficiency although that could be addressed. I think I might get stir-crazy in this place if I were stuck inside and there is no place to be alone. I applaud the designers for their effort. It is simple and dramatic and airy which counts for a lot in my layman’s opinion.

Love it. Would like to experience it in real life. I am an architect in perth western australia. It is a long way to travel for a perth architect.

The best thing about this project would be the shape and materials, I feel the space is the one in doubt, so much waste a think on the hammocks…don’t you think….but overall nice.

Doing things so basic and raw is risky and I believe takes skill and talent to pull it off, but the rewards are high. I reckon this is pretty damn close.

This design seems to meld perfectly the concepts of “bedroom” and “garage”.
