Simply gorgeous!
I guess this is what happens when a very very creative team of architects - throws up- every idea they ever had onto a sheet of drafting paper and presents it to a client as design drawings. This is not a dwelling, it is a chaotic jumble. An architectural cacophony. How does one relax in something like this. What a mess. And what a shame...
The clients look relaxed. Maybe one person's "mess" is another person's "haven".
I love it!
These are spectacular details! I especially love the pod.........the birch is beautiful and the space within the pod is amazing. this home is definitely a haven!! Very comfy and warm is the feeling that it gives me. I love the shared space of the main living area!! Peace!
I Could not agree more with Jordan, some person's "mess" is another person's "haven". Looks like clients feel happy at home, that should be accomplished mission to the architects...
Dear Dwell, Only a few days ago I was driving through Greenwich on a family vacation when I glanced out my car window and immediately recognized the undulating "Sushi" door on what appeared to be a church. I wish that I had knocked on the door (maybe I would have been invited in!). The split second that I saw this seeming sanctuary made my day in every way. It reminded me that the design world is not some ambiguous nirvana apart from our own; the design world is where we live in the here and know.
Yes, it IS a shame that Phil s cannot appreciate the design features in the space. I think it was naive of him to think that we saw a bunch of ideas and jumped on them all. The design process took 1 year and the construction process took another so I assure you this was not a rushed, hodgepodge of a job. Every detail was carefully deliberated and the space is amazing to reside in. Perhaps the juxtaposition of modern and historic is simply wasted on Phil s. I agree--what a shame. Everyone else.........enjoy.
I love the use of former churches as homes. Heck I guess I love in general when things are used are used for what they were not intended for and it works.They make good punk venues too.
Simply too many competing elements on the interior of this space, but the exterior is gorgeous!
I have to agree with Andy on this one.
I have to say i just love it ! I give credit to the home owners for seeing such a opportunity to create. The building has such an endless array of design options. I think the designers did a marvelous job of thinking up the design for the upstairs. It's private but still makes the house feel open.
I think this is lovely and funky and irreverent (of course). But I can see why someone would not like it too. Phil is entitled to his opinion and should not be vilified for it. That's just mean.
I was COMPLETELY blown away by the interior of this home vs. the exterior. And shocked by how much I loved it. It's so bizarre and eclectic but somehow, it all works.
