Yet at the same time i am not comfortable with these gilded aliminium frames. -Think about window frames and their placement more-this design is perhaps saying to the consumer, craftsperson and designer of architecture.-and to those who give planning permission seemingly only to boring generic window framed buildings.

We see the frame here as an anacronistic device to view the inside habitants in their spaces, looking out at the viewer looking in at the viewee.....is this reverse vouyerism? .......or just another way to sell a condo to an art collector?
