Concrete Home in Switzerland by AFGH

From Andreas Fuhrimann and Gabrielle Hachler comes this award-winning apartment building in Berlin. I like the wall and ceiling treatment they did, in raw plywood and the layout of the floorplan. A little too austere for my taste but there’s no way you can go wrong with steel+glass+concrete.

Looks like a prison… a very hip prison.
Great post! We are building an ICF home (concrete house) to maximize the energy benefits.
Well, to tell the truth I wouldn’t like to live in a house like this one. The bathroom looks like a room in a bunker buried kilometers under ground, the picture next to it gives me feelings of an uncompleted flat interior and the last one seems more like public toilets than a sink and a refrigerator. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice idea but not very appealing to me. Looks too sterile to me.
It’s certainly a wonderful architecture exercise. But it frightens me just to think what ideas one can get in a rainy day in such a house… One must be happy in a house and this one sure looks depressive, sorry.
