The design team then led us through the neon pink front door to the residence, and up two flights of stairs to the main residential space. Impressive 6′-6″ x 10′ triple-glazed sliding doors, manufactured by Austrian company Walch, allow cool air to flow into the room, and a hatch flushes warm air out through the roof. On the day of our visit, there was a lovely breeze that balanced the cozy temperature inside.
The 20-foot tall room, elegantly furnished under GGrippo’s direction, portrays a clean aesthetic of bright colors and simple lines fit for the creative couple and their young daughter. The design also provides a contrast to the whitewashed concrete walls and exposed ceilings, preserving the openness of the double height spaces, while focusing visual activity at floor level. Light streaming in from the double-height facade bounced around the brightly colored space, transforming the calculated design into an active living zone perfect for hosting parties and dinners, or taking out crayons and coloring away!
Hello! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one? Thanks a lot!|
the construction costs were $650k
not millions
Ok great. But this looks mighty expensive. Who can afford to have a house like this? Only the wealthy who live in Williamsburg. I find that ironic and irritating. As beautiful and passive this House is. I don’t see it really thinking in a all inclusive reality that people don’t have millions of dollars to blow on a new house. Maybe this can kickstart something for current building guidelines to steer to more sustainable, passive energy construction. There is natural building that uses less new technology and still remain passive and affordable.
It was a treat to watch this house. Was the construction costs more than ordinary houses?
What an amazing house. Whoever lives there is so lucky!
