I'd have to fill it with warm furniture to counter the cold starkness it could easily fall victim to, but otherwise, I could totally live there. Love all the windows. But yeah, the no rail thing is a hazard - maybe some borderless glass to help preserve some of the look?

Wouldn't that kind of ruin the point?

Depends on what you like. Myself, I like the way it brings the outside in, as if you're sitting in a garden, next to a garden wall.

I can appreciate stark as an art form, but I wouldn't want to live in it.

While pretty, it doesn't (like so many of these fancy places) look like a house I'd actually want to live in). However, it really does emphasize that I should write a calculus textbook.

To me it's akin to the FLW aesthetic of exposed joints and such. Sure concrete may not be as "beautiful" in the traditional sense as the woods that FLW would use, but still it's about the structure, the form of the structure, and the materials themselves becoming the aesthetic interest, and not structurally superfluous adornments.

And concrete, if properly sealed, is very maintenance free.

While this may not be architecture, I like the design of the web site and the music that it produces: http://www.incredibox.fr/
