VCR Report post Posted December 28, 2014 From the outside? What did you think of it? I like the way light filters through the glass bricks and the feeling of being shielded but at the same time connected with the outside, very clever use of materials. I was riding on a street car which roll passed it. The unique facade and its strong contrast with nearby buildings caught my attention. I did not know it was done by Hiroshi Nakamura; otherwise, I would have hoped off to take a closer look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

emanon Report post Posted February 3, 2015 That looks interesting, I would appreciated it more if they used a real tree buy the timber is veneered, I don't like shortcuts That would be pretty intense if it was milled from a single solid tree.

WheelsRCool Report post Posted February 3, 2015 That looks interesting, I would appreciated it more if they used a real tree buy the timber is veneered, I don't like shortcuts I think veneering is okay if done over another type of real wood, I mean veneering is an ages-old process. It's if they do it over say particleboard that I'd have a problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

uzzirider Report post Posted February 4, 2015 I know this guy who built a cantilevered island out of steel, then veneered it in stone. It's not solid stone but I think it still looks pretty cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero issue with veneer, what puts me off is the fact that you can see how they joined the logs together if they veneered over the top it would've been better.

ameer Report post Posted March 10, 2015 It might, it wasn't uncommon for the late Art Deco style to use ocean liners as inspiration. I assume this house is old? It's certainly "different" if it's a new build. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

looney Report post Posted March 10, 2015 :shock: is that good or bad shock? I love it, its brutalist architecture, mixed with organic design and considering it was designed in 1970 its mind blowing to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
