Saying that I am looking for bad comments it is simply not true and if you look most of my comments are positive and contractive. However, it does not change the fact that I am entitle to express my views in a professional way and that what I did and that is why we are having this discussion. My point was that the plans are poorly done and I stated why. I think the future residents will not enjoy the spaces as they will not be able to fit day to day accessories. I can't send sample of how I would do it differently as I can’t send sketches, not to mention that it is not my job to fix other people plans…(I have my own clients to work with….). Needless to say, I had no intention of offending you and I am sorry if I did. If you will go back to your plans and will try to fit wardrobe and/or cabinets (so I won’t have to go to the hallway to pick up my underware….) you will see that the spaces will not work. Also, There is no place for storage what so ever! A family need space for kids toys, cleaning stuff, iron board etc… The balconies / external spaces that you created will become the storage – I can assure you of that! ….now, as the balconies are facing to the streets, the paasing by people, will not concentrate on the wonderful elevations but on all type of un-used stuff. our purpose as architects is to learn from mistakes done in the past and improve as we go along and I don’t think that in this project this role was implemented. take this commets to your boss and ask him what he thinks.. I am really sorry but that they way I see it. My dearest Poster,

And actually it is nice! It's really easy to say that something is bad.try to find good things in every example and so you will get much more Lior i don’t think hdm have a leading role in housing nowadays.their proposal for Paris is well executed but in many ways it doesn’t go any further than being fine.I think that mvrdv has developed the housing schemes in a deeper way: silodam, europan 1,etc. Also other dutch practices such as neutelings and ridick -or whatever they spell it.I do like this project here specially its facade and how it is proposing two kind of relationships,the big hollow and the small,picture like window.I really don’t think I could have done it much better considering the units surface limits and the urban regulations.
