That would also explain the low child birth rate. ;) I really like the concept, but I think there could be some adjustments to the general shape to make it more interesting and appealing. For me there are a few to many strong edges. But I'd be ok with living there. Currently my apartment consist of one large room, one entrance hall, a bathroom (by the way, where is their bathroom???) and a kitchen corner in the big room, so I'm accustomed to an open living concept. :) I guess it’s normal for Japanese couples.

"green" was no about concrete itself but about they way how it was used to get this house into comfortable home. sorry but you got it wrong. “green” was no about concrete itself but about they way how it was used to get this house into comfortable home.

It's extremely energy intensive to produce. There isn’t much about concrete that could be described as ‘green’. It’s extremely energy intensive to produce.

(or it needs special collors) --what happens when it rains? LOL-- look better on the geometry of this house. it will not be wet or hot for a long time. btw i must give my respect for the guy who planed this house. he used simple geometrical struckture to minimum of negatives of the concrete in a comfortable and very cheap and green way. many concrete mixtures cant be painted because of the structural integrity and internal chemistry inside of the walls.

Anyways, it must be great to be rich like the couple in this clip. You’re either too young or too old to understand the beauty of naked concrete.
