Rudin House by Herzog & de Meuron

Pritzker Prize winners Herzog & de Meuron consistently design austere architecture, residential buildings included. We love the concrete Rudin House...

 
 

0709_rudin2.jpg The Rudin House is a heavy concrete mass but is set up on stilts. The interior is as quiet as the smooth grey exterior, but it's warmed up by the floor and furnishings. We love the contrast of the wood Hans Wegner chairs and cushy sofa to the cool, cavernous concrete interior.

I love Herzog & de Meuron and Pritzker Prize winner Tadao Ando. If I am not mistaken, the interior view here is of Ando's Koshino House in Ashiya, Japan (1984). LOVE LOVE LVOE the Rudin House (1997), too. Thanks for the post.
