Increible, hermosa vista y el trabajo es excelente
Wonderful view… and a house that looks like a factory, no matter how ‘organic’, doesn’t claim to blend with it’s surroundings, looks more like a blight on the landscape with no respect for how it would appear to others wanting to enjoy the view as well. Egotistical with little respect for place, I give it a thumbs down.
They own the land… Why should they not be entitled to build on it however they wish?
Indeed they did… but that doesn’t make it pretty from the outside.
I suppose I had an opinion because these houses are placed here to be seen and obviously requesting feedback or we wouldn’t be writing here… and that was mine.
It’s all a question of esthetics and each person has their preferences and I personally like a house that blends practically with it’s environment in some way.. and I think that this house is impractical for it’s position, thinking it might be very windy there, on a promontory above the sea… this flat front will be blasted by the wind and the open areas in the middle and on the sides will be like wind tunnels… not to mention all that glass with no way to easily clean it and the wood which will degrade quickly beaten by wind, sun and salt.
Is the house yours?
May I live with you? Please?!
sorry have to agree. not quite the house i would want.
looks like a big church organ on a hill. doesn’t quite fit the surroundings at all.
ugly, what an insult to that beautiful piece of land.
Man, ugly house, inside and out. Try convincing a woman to live there.
Where’d the giant ipod go???
Butt ugly! Jeez. Its a rape of the enviorment.
The house looks like it was bought as a kit from IKEA. Bland and uninviting. Sure the view is great, but you can get that standing outside without a house. It looks cold inside.
This would make a most interesting place in which to write.
i completely agree with gininitaly. i don’t understand why structures like this are so lauded. architecturally, it is a very impressive feat, and looking *from* it is very nice. but looking *at* it is depressing. it’s a massive monolith that adds nothing to the landscape and in fact makes the environment look worse.
This would work fine for me. How much?
i think this house is fuckin gnarly. if i had a chance to have a home with that kind of view i dont care how ugly the house was, i would live there any day.
splendid simplicity!
I think the exterior of the home looks like a console television. I had the urge to watch it pushed over the side of the mountain. Good thing the interior is aesthetically pleasing.
its calming and simple
it would sit nicly along the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand.
Don’t really like the house…. Love the location though.
beautiful home,
honest structural expression,
natural materials, natural light and great vista
it would have been nice to have seen this house be adapted into the hillside on which it sits atop. the views would have been just as tremendous, and it would also not appear to be so gaudy, like a “king of the hill” sort of place…having said that I have no idea what the site conditions are, just an observation from photos
Time will take care of returning the landscape to the way it was, this applies to this house as well as to every city on the world, trying to appease entropy by making stuff that looks halfway to being eroded already won’t make any difference.
Wow, this looks great.
Amazing design.
I really like it, as far as looking good with the surrounding land well, if you like hobbit hills that might have worked but I think it looks just fine!
No….It has wonderful views , but looks like a very large boom box… Must look like hell from the ocean…
Buildings made as art are not conceived to follow what commonly “fits,” rather they are conceived to place these notions into question. It is noteworthy that the common person takes offense to such a physical expression so easily, and then shares their own view without eloquence.
I see the structure outwardly captivates a stance as commanding as the landscape. The interior frames this with strong minimal lines. Impressive.
Building on the dunes… that’s environmentally wrong, right? for the destruction of dunes vegetation allows sea to more easely penetrate coast…
Rod – Are you one of these people who tries to justify everything by the description art? Sorry but bad style and design has nothing to do with art. Just because it’s not “fitting” doesn’t make it art. sorry
how can u build such an ugly thing in such a beautiful landscape?! :P
I absolutely love this house! It´s perfect and different. I want one for me!!!
It looks unfinished and the walls and ceiling look like they are made of chip wood.
I can’t imagine that much unfinished wood lasting very long on the coast. Like most people have said already, this is a modernist blight in what appears to be an otherwise tranquil and rural environment.

I like the concept… but maybe the type of wood should be resistant to a salty shoreline.
i’m saddened that i will never be able to live in anything like that
The wind will just blow it ‘apart’ on that spot.
Round is the way to go there…the wind will flow around it.
There is no straight lines in nature…for a reason..
Tension frame rules…
Less cost, more strength..less is more.
But you can tell people the biggest secret..if they are not ready for it it will go into one ear and out the other…welcome to the 21. century..
Its not my problem anyway..

it looks like a boom box, where do I put the cd in?
yeah, not a fan. they had the opportunity to make it gorgeous for everyone, including themselves… they didn’t take that route. gorgeous view, wretched house.
This was a good post..First time to this website. Appreciate you for sharing. I am going to bookmark this blog. I was a home decorator for a long time. Our home decor tip of the week is this: Don’t overcrowd a home. Walking area is a must. Thanks one more time!
Is it only me or does anyone else find the exterior of the house not so nice. I love the interior and all but somehow the outside look of the house does not fit the serene look of the place
Must have a magnificent ocean view! This ocean villa is more my style http://www.archello.com/en/project/villa-mayavee
Most of the naysayers* have put forth collectivist arguments like “the house is a blight on our landscape”, “the owners aren’t the only one that have to look at it”, etc. These arguments suppose that the owner is not, in fact, the person in charge of their own land, their own property, their own aesthetic decisions — instead, it’s the public that has that power.
Please, my dear naysayers: Read The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. I am begging you.
*NOT all of you, I KNOW — as I said, MOST.
P.S. The house is lovely. Unfinished woods, visible riveting, floor-to-ceiling windows? I’m weak.
