House

[m735]

Just finished some images for a house design and wanted to get some critique.

looking good ...ive been in Switzerland and Germany over the last few days and this reminds of some work from the great Frank Gehry with his very beautiful buildings

I love the concept.
It would be an energetic nightmare (both summer and winter) but I still love the idea.

re

Great design...love the wire mesh. What's the costruction cost estimate on something like this?

[flanders]

i love this tipe of desing, i love morphosis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

nevertheless, we waited for perspective of the progress.
salutty, good renders!!!!

sorry for my bad english.

yeah, I agree w/ Gwen...it would be and energy dump.....summer and winter....

I like the design overall....I used to be a fan of deconstructivism (Ghery/Morphosis and the likes) ....but now that I work with more "real world" architecture ....I can see some of the flaws and shortcommings of this type of architecture......but it's always good to experiment with it while in arch school!!

nice work and rendering.....I like the protruding glass balcony....seems like a cool idea with potential.....what's the site for this design??...an urban setting? a beach??...just courious...cause when I did my designs in arch school I allways tried to have my design respond or connect somehow with the environemnt sorrounding it....so for example framing a view with the architecture or putting a protruding balcony for people to be brought out/toward and area in the site to experience it visually......just wondring if you took that into consideration in your design...

The project was for a competition..

I would disagree with...experimentation should not stop outside of the classroom..I have been working for several years now and although it is difficult to detail some types of work it is worth it...as long as you have a client that goes along. (Which honestly is hard to find)

I find for the most part a client responds to what you show him/her...and "real" world architecture lacks a lot.

In the end you have to give your client the best product for their money and distinguish yourself from the competition. If you give them the same crap as everyone else..then there's really nothing stopping them from going somewhere else.

Having said that I find it important to take baby steps experimenting in small ways..helps to get over the shock value.

Anyways thanks for the comments oh and does anyone know when vray 1.5 is coming out?

Sorry...to answer your other questions the protruding glass balcony was to give a view of the mountains...the project was located in Denver.

I guess I didn't explained my selft well.....I do agree w/ the idea of experimentation anytime...since otherwise a project becomes dead without it.....and I agree w/ being able to give the client the best of what one can give......
but I don't think one needs to go all out with a "shock"/ in-your-face design just to show others that ones's work is simply "different".......or funky......

in the end it depends on the what the client asks for and a design that can provide that w/ out compromise to quality.......

Design isn't made to simply to show "that one's work is different." Or for shock value. Some people have differnent ways to solve a problem and sometimes that doesn't include a 4 in 12 pitch roof..no matter how well it's detailed. But then again sometimes it does.
