It will be lovely when it has been used for a while. I rather like the bold colour for the dining area but it should have the sockets and switch to match.

i can’t quite figure it out but, there is something i really like about this re: the courtyard space, a space that can only be filled in part by objects and rooms have windows that look out on to/into this space (plus shafts of light and air etc.). I really like the exterior of this building too, they have left some of the original detail. The orange in the dining area for me just emphasising eating together as a family, . It doesn’t looked lived in yet but maybe they have just finished the conversion.

Too many walls without artworks and too many floors without furniture and plants. Looks like the house was photographed for a minimalist publication without regard for livability. Sorry, but I would turn this one down without hesitation.

Really beautiful living space, makes me want to move. I want a home with a hole in the middle!

well, I disagree. those japanese designs are pure concept; in this case the design tries to separate from the concept to get closer to the persons who are going to live there; it seems to be built as a natural thing, you know, something soft and confortable, not just a concept.

and the orange colour is great. it is the exception in a white coloured landscape; it is something that colonize the space in a very powerfull way.

it is really nice. congratulations.
