One more thing - I do believe that appartments should be planned more like squares instead of very long rectangles. It seems to create a space with better communication and more flexibility when arranging the interior. Or am I old-fashioned? I like the shelving unit a lot, it looks great, especially when you allow to paint every side/panel in a different color, this and the flexibility of shapes is something that allows a creative process on the user's side - simple and great. I only wonder how exactly those panels are connected? Great work anyway, I hope the third year will bring something with a special individual spark, because technically it's already there:) I like the building a lot, looks very modern, if somehow a bit generic… the thing that worries me the most, as I am the acoustics-freak is how all the apartment is always connected to another one… no chance for escaping noisy neighbours… One more thing – I do believe that appartments should be planned more like squares instead of very long rectangles.
