Very interesting. Normally, I don’t care for such architecture, but this has clean lines and seems very functional.
PS: I’m not sure I understand the slanted bathroom sink, but it’s a very interesting design element.
My guess is the “slant” is in the photograph at close quarters, not in the sink. I like the house.
What do you mean about slanted bathroom sink? That the interior sides are sloped? I don’t think the sink itself (as in the counter top) is slanted. I think that’s just a trick of wide angle lens in a small space.
Aluminum is light weight and has been used in trailers and older homes in America. One museum in
Great Bend Kansas has one aluminum home on display dated back into the 1920’s or 1930’s with retro furnishings. The home in Norway would still need some special polish to keep the shine.
Personally, I would like a bit more color as the aluminum reflects so much light to blind me and metal does get hot to touch. This home should be easy to heat and cool.
Its like a giant airstream house with different lines!
Not sure it gets that much sunshine and hot in Norway to cause problems with aluminum. Now in Arizona or CA, that could present a problem.
I think the sink in the bathroom is a bit distorted however the sink bowl does look to be that of a inverted trapazoid shape. I love the contrast of the sink with the reflection of the showerhead. No true frame of reference in that picture.
The sink bowl is rectangular with sloping sides and almost flat bottom.
I am ready to have a house built for me. I lost my wife 2 years ago and I sold my big 4000 sq t home. I an seeking a custom built stunner. Price no object, call me at 267-221-5792
