This is an installation art, not for living. Designed by an artist, not architect.
There’s a difference between ARTIST and ARCHITECT.

It’s an interesting idea.. But not practical… no privacy and I hate the ‘ring’, it’s very distracting. It’s an installation art, not meant to live in. btw, will you like to live in this ring box? Human is not an animal, being trap in these little box and viewed by all the animals from the forest. Designer just would like to be Unusual, but never think about the practicality, space that interact with human pyschology. Sad thing to say:(

Mmm well i think they tried to do some great design, but they forgot the environment, because make a view of 360° doesnt mean that it has a relationship with the context. So it looks like a box that could be design for downtown LA, Tokio, New York or anywhere else, and put it inside that forest. It should be a design MADE FOR THAT CONTEXT that is real architecture.

sometimes, you do art for art’s sake. not practicality?
its something to enjoy.

I would like to work in that building, But I would never want to live there. Its more practical for a peaceful working environment. Id have a mini one of those made on my property to do my freelance work in the day and then treck to my own home somewhere else on the property after work. If I ever had that type of money to throw away, I mean. ;P

I think it’s a geat design.

The only problem with this design is the cost of it
If you intend to make a house like this, the key to it are the windows. You can get windows with a very low U value and also make them so you can see outside and them can’t see inside. I belive the Japanese have developed this kind of glass for a public bathroom right in the middle of crowded intersections. It can be practical in large projects for neighborhood.
The only problem are the costs, but can be overcome.

Stunning project. plants and trees on the inside of the house is the only thing missing. if it were mine, i’d fill the place with screens and plants and art and shit. When you want to look out the window all you’d have to do is brush aside some vines.

You’re just asking for a zombie attack in a house like that.
