I’ll agree with Niels, the backside basement facades seems to have recieved less attention in conceptualization and detailing. Other than that, big fan of the modern interpretation of a vernacular structure. The details and the openess make this project.
FYI, I’ll never drive an electric car, some things are not meant to be.

Seems conceived from the outside in with little regard for interiors.

While we can see it looks great on the hill from the hundred exterior shots, the interiors really let it down. I’m not sure whether the modern-ish barn aesthetic is really working for a domestic space nor in relation to the implied view. Makes me wonder how resolved the more private functions are…

not sure why the comment (for rich people) is needed? What does being rich have to do with anything? Anyway to the house, I like how they have tried to maintain a link to the surrounding housing by mimicking the traditional shape of houses in the area. The downstairs level does look a bit too heavy compared to the upper level. It could have been a tad more sympathetic in my eyes.

I love how the lounge opens up with the continuation of flooring to the outside. I would have liked to have seen some photos of the downstairs rooms as well though

At first sight it looks like a kind of prototypical house-shape, dominating the top of the hill, but in an almost housey way. On second viewing, the “house” has become a transparent object, appearing from the hillside, but clad in a house shaped box, made of metal, concealing the transparency of housiness that dominate the stereotypical form that has reverted momentarily to that of a house, almost overpoweringly, but wait – blurring the boundary between the inside of the house that is not there and the outside of the symbol that used to be a house, but is now a virtual room, with furniture, like one would find in, say, a house, which this is most definitely not because it is in fact a model of houseness, translated into a container of living that mocks us with its allusions to housedom.

Speaking of FLW, this was the Perovic house that made me see that he models his structures as if they were wooden blocks (ala Froebel), though in retrospect there are better examples of this in his portfolio…pedestals, stacks, cantilevers, and voids (blocks) punched out. House R & House SB also demonstrate this well.

House K indicates a serious Mies fetish. Though Perovic must admit as much as he links the Barcelona Pavilion to his site. I guess if you’re going to emulate the masters, those two aren’t a bad choice. Still I think Perovic makes them his own via his articulation and materials.

This is ultra cool. The drawings, though very crisp, do not give any sense of how slick the finished building could be. It is an excellent work in place-making but i worry about how thermal cooling is achieved (boring, I know)

Adore the aluminum exterior and how well the house melds with the surroundings. The lower part is less interesting.
