Another house for remark
Here’s another architect house for comment, described as “located on the banks of a river in northern Montreal” and impressively low-key modern from the outside. The shape makes me think of the Mies van der Rohe gas station on Nuns’ Island, although the brick facing is earthier and warmer in effect.
Aaaand there it is. Inevitably.

Hmm this cantilever breakfast bar doesn’t seem structurally sound… And all those pointy corners below the ‘floating stair’…pffff

I like the sunken living room. There’s a vaguely Jackie Treehorn vibe to it.

That place is gorgeous! But that breakfast bar wouldn’t last a week with me living there. (I’m a leaner.)

That countertop and breakfast bar is not made of marble or quartz, but is probably Corian, which is very strong. Can probably hold a few hundred kilos. So @Blork, you can lean away.

I’m That Guy who looks at all those windows and just thinks about the work to keep them clean. I suppose if you are paying someone to clean the place for you, though…
Grumbling aside, I do like the view and all that light would be nice; and all the wood.

Blork, It won’t break, but leaning on it near its extremity would flex it for half a centimetre (30 kg, over hang of 16″ and 3/4″ Corian sheet, 36″ wide)
