Trying to accomplish many tasks at once in that design leaves it a bit open-ended and unfinished looking, but pictures can be deceptive too. I'd love to get up close to it to see how I'd really feel about it.

Yes, thinking about it, you're right. With the solar panels and green roof there's a lot going on, but the roof slab looks suspiciously slim: no false ceiling to hide ducts, and not much evidence of stairs, toilets, etc.

Here's a building that did definitely get built: Niteroi Art Museum in Rio de Janeiro:-

Architect Oscar Niemeyer is best known for his part in the design of Brasilia, a city that brought him both fame and criticism, as the planned Utopia turned into something of a dystopia and as public opinion moved against that kind of huge, overbearing city plan. Even so, the place now has Unesco Heritage status and some cool buildings too - but thank god, I don't have to live there.

Holy **** a wraparound 2nd floor deck surrounding the bedroom? Ugly as **** but I'd live there.

Really? I think it looks cool. I’d bring out something more comfortable to sit in on that deck though.

The image on wiki that shows how it looks in its surrounding makes it a lot more palatable

I found this info on wiki pretty interesting

I woulda thought Brazil would offer a better bang for your buck.

You can probably still live on the cheap if you got the cajones.

The roof and the grey siding are awful.

True

Maybe if it were painted brown or gray it would help.

Still though. Chillin on that patio would be ****ing boss.

If I were your roommate I’d go 50% on a Big KRIT statue for the lawn. Just sayin cause nobody knows the future amirite?

Yeah, that slate grey is terrible and a bit kitschy. What bothers me more is the loading of the upper walls, and how it's being supported through the lower level, creating obstacles and breaking up the space. They could have just used the lower wall for load and went cantilever for the deck, giving them even more area.

A 4 car add on garage in the shape of Big KRIT’s head!

Thanks for pointing out the structural reasons why that's not an efficient arrangement. It makes me think we're not looking at "real" stone, but something like this:-
