What I'd be worried about is: who's going to build this thing and take the responsibility for the rainwater management and thermal breaking detailing. A significant eaves overhang has always been the crucial element in traditional Polish houses, all across the country. Not without a reason. That said, the detailing can be done. But then, as someone mentioned, cracks will appear, as well as nasty chemical drips on the surface, leading to inevitable erosion and water penetration. I wish you guys an insurance agent who is a big fan of Herzog & De Meuron ;) @Agata: they will be OK with the light.

Looks like a builder's nightmare. I’d love to see them try to detail the inside corner of that wall and install that tiny window on the ground floor across from it. Looks like a builder’s nightmare.

In fact, every room has at least one gargantuan floor-to-ceiling window. They're just all on the back. Check the plan, then the photo of the rear.

Travis,
