I love the grey weather tearing exterior – not all have to look like plastic fantastic silicon babe! They have tone down the forms and figure by making a decision – keep it simple by keeping it in one color – grey – that is a clever one since there is much going on. One thing to look at it – I guess it is great to live in it as well; and that must be the main goal.

Well done latvian girls :)
Finally someone from small Latvia can also make something impressive.
Nice flowing shape of building together with thin and regular timber beams are making great concept of house. :)

Too many ideas and no execution. I think the underlining principle got blurred along the way.

Yeah, the darkness of the outside, not a fan. Looks very institutional and almost that "haunted" quality that doesn't mesh well with the Japanese garden idea. The strange lines of the fencing, and the harsh extreme angles of the building makes me uneasy, I couldn't imagine living in that space. It feels quite uncomfortable just from the images, not a fan at all.

To be honest, the outside looks like a youth penitentiary and the inside looks like ikea on speed..
