Architecture studio Akb Architects designed a cluster of silvered cedar buildings on Whistling Wind Island, a remote archipelago in Ontario, Canada, serving as a summer home for a kite surfer.
Commenters debated the project, with one praising it as a "masterful restraint of expression and fine execution," while another described the site as "magical for anyone whose soul seeks poetry".
Other stories in this week's newsletter that fired up the comments section included a museum in Seoul by Kengo Kuma and Associates, Populous plans for a new stadium in Rome and Urb's plans to convert a 64-kilometre-long arterial road in Dubai into the "world's greenest highway".
