It's not that bad. To those of you who shrieked in horror when they saw the photos of this seemingly “Sir Hillary-esque” home… Having each floor dedicated to a specific task isn’t such a bad idea. It’ provides great separation, and actually contributes to making the home more livable, by more than one person. Our forefathers in America did it, and look how we turned out… Wait… um… never mind. Now… take this same concept, and think "mid or even high-density" housing. Put one parking place in front of each unit. And, stack them side by side, for about… um… ten units or so… Commerce on the first floor, residential above. Instant housing complex. You could build it fast, fast, fast… And you could build them cheap, cheap, cheap… Just a thought. My family would live in this house, in a minute. In fact, I paid further tribute to it, with a really comprehensive review, on my own blog. THANK YOU for posting this incredible home! Ronin Ah, come on…

I would love to live in that house, and come on! we live in a different age now, there´s no problem taking a shower with those huge inviting windows wide open..and if you feel uncomfortable at least you must thank that the shower is in the 3rd floor... not visible to by-passers.... but totally visible to your 3rd floor neighbor across the street so work hard for a nice body to show off.

Square meters are not important but have a price; freedom of space is the most important and is for free. There are privacyscreens integrated in the steel structure.

In fact this house is huge when compared to some houses in other parts of the World (Hong Kong for instance?). But would you like to take a shower on the 4th floor? Mind that there are no curtains at all. The first picture is really a picture of the front side of the house, right next to the side walk of the street. Oh and it's located near the red light district in Antwerp. So you might see some pretty strange people passing (or actually no passing) your front windows.
