    That’s a lot of concrete exposed via internal surface area. Wonder how it offers insulation during cold winters?

      I don’t know about this specific project, but from what I know, those are not massive concrete walls. Depending on the construction method, there are insulations with expanded styrofoam, air gaps or other insulating methods.

        Also air is really good insulator if my memory doesn’t betray me here.

      There is a picture on the architects website that shows, that the walls do have internal insulation.

      But there is stillvery rough exterior concrete, which will look brand-new for at least until it has rained 10 times.
