To me this has got to be the most ideal fricking house I have ever seen
How would you go about building this sort of thing without absolutely ruining your finances, could it be done?
To me this has got to be the most ideal fucking house I have ever seen
What am I looking at here
Seems like a house made in the style of giant garage and with a drawbridge. Honestly it looks pretty good but you can't build that cheaply OP, you need a great architect just to not frick up the design
a chat gpt thread using data pulled from a 2016 thread.
So let's break this down
>can close everything and go full turtle mode
>projector on the garage door
>drawbridge connecting to... something
The only remotely interesting thing is the projector and that's got nothing to do with the house
Pool
that looks kinda kino
Only time ive ever seen something like this was in Africa for Africa reasons.
You can see (sort of) on the bottom left photos there's like a small plaza with a red carpet that connects to the grass outside, I think that would be perfect for relaxing
The drawbridge connects to the roof balcony of the pool annex.
Doing it on the pool would involve a lot of heavy duty framing to not use concrete. What you can not get around is the weather steel sheeting for the facade.
Although even with foot thick beams the large terrace overhang with that shutter could be impossible to create without to resorting to specialist solutions. Concrete collums, steel beams and wood framing to fill in the skeleton might replace the concrete then.
What I don't get at all is that pool. It doesn't even have sliding glass doors to open it up to the garden and its quite small. What are you gonna do in there? Water gymnastics? Or frick supermodels?
>What I don't get at all is that pool.
Hopefully it's got some system to impart velocity to the water / the water treadmill thing.
>frick supermodels?
Daily morning swim at exactly the same time each day, part of the reclusive millionaire's autismo-routine
Just own a company that does super high end proof of concept work. Easy. Shouldn't take more than 6 months from incorportation really.
You will get fricked by tax laws if you even live there for more than a whole day without actually buying the house.
Why?
cuz Biden
What tax law says you get raped for living a day in a house?
I guess Andrew Camerata's container castle is the closest thing to an 'affordable' version of this.
>I guess Andrew Camerata's container castle is the closest thing to an 'affordable' version of this.
that thing is a great shop and that's it. Most or all of it is not insulated, so a New York winter is hell in there for a normal person. So, affordable or not, it's not a version of OP's house. Andrew built the shop he wanted, and it's amazing in many ways, but as a house it totally sucks.
Where’s the beauty?
The definition of over-complication, what a nightmare. Taking the elegant minimalism of Brutalism and then adding all these unnecessary moving parts.
Justice. Brutalism deserves to be ruined just like it ruins everything else.
Brutalism is ruins.
the "cheap" version of this would be a big block of reinforced concrete, without the windows and all, only the big opening to the back which you put in a commercial rolling gate, no cellar
You could probably do ICF with cladding to achieve a good brutalist look with the added benefit of it being far cheaper to replace classing than re-do cracked/weathered concrete.
>ideal fricking house
Your ideal house is a dark grey featureless box? If you need therapy.
It's what's inside the box that matters. What sort of moron stands outside their house staring at it except for inspections?
Homes should project cold hostility to outside enemies.
>Homes should project cold hostility to outside enemies.
Its you who projects hostility
I like the drawbridge but if there's no moat then it's not that valuable. Would be cool to go innawoods with a house with a drawbridge.
>motor fails while in turtle mode
>trapped in house
just make it so you need electricity too keep it in turtle mode dummy
are you suggesting they use electromagnets to keep the house fricking closed?
One bad thunderstorm and all your shit flies open and becomes a purge target
ugly, looks like some fortress from DOOM
For me it's colonial haciendas, never saw the appeal of these modern pods.
Does this building have a floor under the front lawn? Because that's epic
There's no moat. What kind of fortress skips out on the moat?
> Taking the elegant minimalism of Brutalism
Been tried. The problem is, when you build a brutalist structure, when you're done... you end up with brutalist structure.
And everyone goes WTF forever.
they are called hurricane shutters you can add them to any window. they are normally rated for 100 mph 2x4s
I'd gladly live there, provided I can put multiple antennas on that lovely flat and easy to access roof.
>To me this has got to be the most ideal fricking house I have ever seen
>To me this has got to be the most ideal fricking house I have ever seen
I want that but on stilts. I want to pull the access stairs up.
Yes, i live among Black person mokeys, that's why i want it.
I need a small, monkey version of this, not a huge proof of architectural jerkoff version.
Women, do you think violence is inherently wrong? Cause I don't, but all the girls I know pretend like it is
I'd guess the hydraulics, hinges and reinforcements alone, for those concrete sections, would wreck you, financially.
