Concrete house. haus bold.

Sep 20, 2009

haus1 Built in 2004, Haus Bold is made of prefabricated concrete. haus2
The industrial looking cube-shaped house carefully uses glass walls and anodized aluminum facades. The site, equally minimalistic.

Concrete walls too. However, radiused walls and window treatments, textured, polished stone tiles, and a sunny day breathes warmth.

haus6
haus8

Concrete stairways and steel handrails take us to the second floor. Skylights, yes.

haus9

The stone tile is used on the wall in the bath. Stone sink. The mirror, the geometric lines play pleasant tricks.

haus10
haus11

All black kitchen. Stainless steel powder room. Very cool in every manner of speaking. Noticing the small planted trees via the large windows, these photos might have been taken right after move-in. Curious to know if large expansive walls now display art. Definitely a bold house.
