In this week's comments update, readers question whether a seaside home in Chile designed by Pezo von Ellrichshausen is actually finished, although some don't mind if it isn't.
Set in concrete: architects Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen described the monolithic house for a plot on Chile's Coliumo Peninsula, as a "cottage", but readers were unsure that it had actually been finished.
"Just completed" No way. Just because one can build an all concrete home, doesn't mean one should," sighed Hilton Purvis.
"Beautiful it may be, but calling a building a house doesn't make it a house," wrote Miles Teg.
"It's a stretch to call this a house, a dungeon might be a better description," agreed IDRACULA. V So also felt the building was suited for another purpose: "This work managed to brutalise the most brutalist architecture. It is a coastal defence pillbox still waiting for the guns"
However, Z-dog indicated that perhaps the design had gone over everyone's head: "The architects have left the house at its necessities and it is up to the client to decide their level of comfort that they want to introduce. This is a challenging building, but the rewards of living in it could be life-altering. I would love to visit."
Jay was another reader who was sold: "This is one of the most gorgeous seaside homes I've ever seen."
But this reader was left wanting.
