It’s taking a post modern architecture concept and applying it to just what the home owner can reasonably change.
The idea is that the building shouldn’t hide or obscure what the materials it is made from. You’ll see it in buildings with deliberate exposed pipes, exposed concrete, unfinished wood.
It’s about honesty and function.
The problem is to make this work they needed to go further or not so far. A polished concrete countertop, industrial tiles and industrial appliances could make this work better. Or using plywood rather than OBS.
The craftsmanship is impressive… The material abhorrent.
It makes no sense lol somone this good with wood, putting effort into making it out of crap.
Cheap client not willing to pay for proper materials and a good carpenter who didn’t care enough to argue with them about it would be my guess.
This was a look. Around the corner there’ll be raw concrete with the form marks in it.

I really appreciate this (possible) explanation!
