super cool … a little stark, almost takes me back to ’20s design somehow.

LOL Sarah – that was my first thought too. Must be a girl thing to notice that right away. Other than that – interesting concept – maybe a little softening needed with some more organic elements continuing with the Japanese-inspired theme. Throw in a bit of wabi-sabi ;) . Also, I second the accessibility issue – especially in North America where the Boomers are the dominant force still… that will be the business to be in; accessible spaces that are modular for future use.

That, Sarah, is a great observation. The focus here was definitely on the practicality of production, not the practicality of everyday living.

I don’t se any sign of interior stairs or an elevator. With so many who need housing getting older and accessibility requirements for public, commercial buildings., it seems odd to create designs which require mountain-climbing skills to get to the second floor.

Maybe cool, maybe just ugly, but every interior feature in the photos is a cleaning nightmare, particularly the diamond window lattices. If only architects and designers had to clean houses before they were allowed to design them . . . .
