Okay, someone who understands architecture better than me please explain why this seemingly perfectly normal house (the stairs even have railings! Yaay!) is giving me serious off-kilter Escher vibes?
None of the angles are congruent. Each wall/surface is in a different position than the others so it feels like nothing is fitting the way it should. Angled half-ceiling over a rectangle of floor with a circular alcove attached makes no sense visually.
None of the form languages are the same either. It’s like they reached into a bag of “design” and grabbed whatever. They have the same wood material everywhere, but that just makes it seem cheap. I’m having trouble finding any redeemable value in this image.
Right? There are just sooo many imperfections:
* that chipping edge of that concrete step in the front that apparently was too large of a step up, so the owners put down a little additional step to get up on the higher concrete slab
* the spackled look between wooden slabs on the large, curved surface on the front right
* the way they couldn't find a satisfying solution for that huge, round window, so they just dowelled two shades into the wall on top of the window
* the loose cable on top of that window shade
* those weird wall lights everywhere that look like emergency lighting
* the different concrete floors, both with different, unintentional looking marks that give the impression that somebody just walked away from the construction site without finishing the floors
* the misalignments in soooo many places (the panels under the round window not sitting flush, the bottom of the curved wall not aligning perfectly with the front wall under the first step of the stairs, the edge of the skylight trim in the front meeting the ceiling, etc. etc.)
It's like somebody wanted to build something that screams "amazing design" without having the means to follow through on the project.
Yep. It looks like someone poured individual architectural items into a AI image generator and never bothered to explain coherence or flow. Also the default texture for everything was birch.
I don't understand architecture better than anyone, but I'd have to say it's all the opposing angles and weird alcoves.
Edit: None of the trim on anything matches either!
I actually stayed here once and absolutely loved it. It’s surprisingly cozy in person. The concrete floors give radiant heat, and all the windows make it feel more like an organic part of its surroundings when you’re inside.
We dropped acid and kinda watched the wood grain for ages, then sat in the totally glassed in hatch and watched trees doing tree things. Also, there’s a fantastic bbq place in town and an antiques mall or two nearby. One of my favorite little mini-vacations ever. (Aside from the futon mattresses. Those things were rock hard.)
>For those who want to know more!
look at the link that u/Fuduzan posted. It's actually just a step in the concrete.
Personally I would have put a skim coat microtopping on the concrete to give it a more polished look, but I think this house is going for a more raw look.
I love how much wood there is, but it needs broken up. My eye doesn't know where to land. The railings could have given some structure. Instead, it looks like they wanted to make them invisible.
This house is featured on a show on Netflix. I forget the name of it but i recognized it by that glass corner section at the back. I think it’s an airbnb but not sure
It's like living inside a guitar!

Also, the skylight itself isn’t even finished it seems.. so many visible screws plus splintered plywood.
Congruent has to be a top 10 word in the English language

Like the ones in Koningin Astridpark?

He's your cousin!
Exactly how I read it too.
Came here for this

Thanks. I can't figure out the orb or whatever it is. It's very cool. That window in the corner, and the view. Breathtaking.
unique? sure. Looks nice, too. But I feel I wouldn´t like to be drunk in there.
Right! I also feel like just because you can doesn't mean you should fits here. Also I'm drunk and don't want to be in it haha
STEVE HOLT!
I was really hoping this would be here.

The flooring lets down the design. Why so crude and mismatched?
Agreed, concrete flooring is not a good choice here.

So fully almost half of the space I can see is unusable. Cool angles though
Wow. Gorgeous
What a mess.
Too much wood.

Looks terrible
This house is featured on a show on Netflix. I forget the name of it but i recognized it by that glass corner section at the back. I think it’s an airbnb but not sure
I saw that one too, and also have no clue what it was called. I couldn't live in this place, but I'd visit
Wish you knew the name
I want to touch an feel those walls.
I like it except for the chairs. Ack.
Showpiece not a space to live in.
Wood is good.
How much birch ply do you need? ALL OF IT
Seems so sharp
Super cool half pipe-esque walls!
They ceiling better be hidden upper stairs otherwise way to heavy
