This house proves Libeskind doesn’t understand anything about sustainability or environmentally-responsible design. They are just the latest buzzwords he is appropriating in an attempt to make his architecture APPEAR to be relevant.

Isn’t Libeskind the guy who had to hire a sensible architect to design a workable, practical home that he could live in with his own family?

So, if Libeskind’s wacked out ideas are not good enough for his own house, why does he think the public will be interested in the same garbage?

Even in the recent decade where excess sometimes looked OK, Libeskind managed to look superficial. Now, in a world focused on restraint and common sense, Libeskind is starting to look more like the ass he’s always been. This hideous thing is an insult to the way we need to live now.

Clearly, this is about fashion only. And the fashion is tired and dated looking.

For Libeskind, “sustainability” and LEED certification is just another marketing ploy to sell the same old idea he has been cranking out for years. But I doubt Libeskind even knows what the LEED acronym signifies.

In Manchester, Libeskind’s Imperial War Museum was singled out to receive the UK’s worst possible energy rating, and was declared an abysmal energy guzzler.

Here, the wasteful surface area to volume ratio is the first give away that energy was not really on Libeskind’s mind when he “designed” this. And not knowing the location, the siting, the orientation or the local climate, how responsible to energy needs can it be anyway. Take the very large window areas. Depending on the site they could end up facing north or south with potentially disastrous results for heat gain or heat loss.

This project is bogus on so many levels it is a joke. But then so is Libeskind himself.

I thought the very idea of prefabrication was to facilitate high architecture at low cost. Who would pay so much for an off the shelf product like this? Rich people want an architect they can boss around, and to out-do the neighbours. Libeskind offer neither.

The reality is that the GFC has hit Libeskind’s office. If he is peddling renders of a house available for “any site”, it’s probable that his office has few actual sites, and real jobs, to work on.

Not waving, drowning.

Design Summary:

Stupid shape – [Check]
Pretentious logic – [Check]
Corny symbolism – [Check]
Rehash of unbuilt project – [Check]
Stupid diagonals – [Check]
Immature design rational – [Check]
Sloped wall gimmick – [Check]

OK. It all adds up to another formulaic project from those mindless kids playing architect over at Studio Daniel Libeskind.

I like the house, but if there will be hundreads like this, then it’s not exclusive and even mass production….
But I like the idea of shower & TV in/behind the mirror & the lights
