Lighting? Furniture? The above photos are not what the space looks like occupied. The images above show what is clearly an empty loft lit up for a photoshoot before the occupant moves in and before any interior decoration has happened. I've seen photos of the loft space as it exists and zellner's addition works great. The owner has filled it with lighting, furniture etc and, given the style of the owner, the angles work. Sometimes people like certain aesthetics and hire architects to deliver them. End of story. Why not have an angular element in what is an otherwise orthaganol space? Its far from a disgrace, its actually a pretty cool project. What inane criticism. Lighting? Furniture? The above photos are not what the space looks like occupied.

Someone has been watching The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari too many times. The design is giving me a headache. Someone has been watching The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari too many times.

"What was accomplished with all the angular woodwork? Nothing!" - I think that's what make this space interesting! Architecture doesn't always have to be practical, sometimes it's about feelings and emotions...i'd feel great if i were living there! However, if this was my place, i'd buy some furniture and better lighting. LOL @ the last comment : ) I like it!!

The work is obviously done by a Nietzschean god who was made of steel,travelled back time in a great big magnetic field, to the 1990s - studied architecture - quickly zoomed back to the present and made a fairly interesting studio interior... I reckon you could have some pretty killer parties there ay... Plus the kitchen bench looks it'll be great for blow...

For future references if you don't have something nice to say just don't say anything.

Its clear that what's really most embarrassing here is the total lack of any critical distance on the part of certain participants and, as a corollary, their inability to comment on work in a productive and intelligent manner. What's telling here is the insistence on having the last word...as opposed to productively moving onto the next thread and thereby contributing to this community's common interests. It would be telling, per BIFF above, if these posts would elicit more contributions in terms of recent work or at least discussions of comparable projects ...but then that would not achieve the obvious intended goal of being destructive as opposed to being constructive.

I went to school with the architect 10 years ago at the GSD- so that is plainly not true. The office opened in 2004/5. This is one of their first built projects. Check your facts or keep just your posts to architecture related comments! What is wrong with you people? Can we just keep this discussion civil and about architecture? Why is this getting so personal? This is such nonsense.
