Some moments are very nice. Others feel awkward.

The cheap looking ‘greenhouse’ glass detailing on the right is unfortunate.

But overall, I give it a B for the effort. If you go to Patterns’ website though (www.p-a-t-t-e-r-n-s.net), you can see their FYF residence, which gives you a look at a much more clumsy attempt. It’s unfortunate because Spina should be doing good work. Some of his other projects look too derivative of Tom Wiscomb’s stuff, which could be another criticism.

Keep trying Marcello, we need guys like you to be the next gen.

This building is only possible because of the hard work of the architect of record. The project has taken many years and long hours to complete and the reward for the real architectural team is to see someone else (an unlicensed architect at that ) taking credit as the architect of record.
Shame – don’t you guyus check your facts?

First of all…. i thought by reading this article Marcelo and Georgina were Architects I was also told that they were the Architects for this design then i find out that neither names Marcelo Spina nor Georgina Huljich are Architects! I called their office and they confirmed that are not Architects nor do they have an Architectural practice. de Zeen should get their facts correct before they publish information. It just proves that you cant believe what you read.

kudos on getting this built, but i could do without the architectural gibberish…”radical geometric contextualism,” “reciprocally ruled surfaces,” i am not buying it. i hope nobody trips on the “magnetic field” at the front door.
