As a result, Laffer is a "vehement opponent to the 'homosexual agenda.'" The repeated joke is somewhat clunky and has the potential to grow thin pretty quickly if the series were to move forward. Malloy's Louis Laffer is a soft-spoken senator from the West who is, essentially, constantly refereed to as an in-the-closet gay man. When a viable opponent comes into play he must shake off his scotch soaked lethargy and get into the political game. Goodman's Gil John Biggs in a former sports star, good ol' boy and entrenched senator who is so confident that he no longer bothers to campaign. His exit means that there is room at the inn, enter young upstart Senator Andy Guzman (Consuelos), who comes in to the house to replace Smits. The pilot includes a fan-pleasing cameo from Bill Murray as Vernon Smits, one of the Alpha House rommies who is rudely awakened at the open to a reminder that he was meant to turn himself into the DOJ (Department of Justice) that morning. House Carbon in Bali is also another key project of the architect.The show functions as a biting satirical look at Washington political business as usual and feels similar in tone to HBO's Veep, though with a slightly darker edge. Dornier designs residential projects mainly in Indonesia.ĭornier recently completed treetop boutique hotels in Ubud, Bali and a cross-shaped house elevated on stilts in Bali, Indonesia. He moved to Ubud, Bali in 2013 and began consulting on locally designed and built architectural projects. Dornier studied architecture at the Berlin University of the Arts after which he relocated to New York City to work as an architectural designer for Asymptote Architecture, OMA-NY and Rex between 2004-2007. "In this case fluidity stands for the way forward, expressing the joy for and of creation."Īlexis Dornier was born in Germany in 1981, where he grew up under the constant influence of the aviation industry. "Architecture should express and evoke a distinctive meaning or topic," the architect continued. However different in their shape, the suspended wooden ceiling adds warmth to the place and tied the ceilings into one experience. The building’s east-west orientation provides self shading and shields off neighbors.ĭornier used kerobokan stone as the main material of the house, as well as a local hard sandstone that is found in the vicinity of the site, which represents a traditional material used in constructions of Bali. The layout is simple, practical, and repetitive in this house, according to the architect. A pool runs parallel to the building direction and reflects its wavy character in the water plane. On the ground floor, the architects placed the living room that opens to the garden area and overlook it’s lush surrounding. "In the case of the Alpha House, walls become the roofs and create a silhouette, consisting an iconic and rhythmic pattern that stick, completing the picture of an exciting object blending intensity environment-with the rolling mountain scape of Bali in it’s background," the architect added.
"Grid shells have always done it for us, as they suggest interesting and new ways to define roofs." "As a consequence, views are framed by fluid lines and evoke a sense of protection," said Alexis Dornier. On the design process, the architect wanted to define the articulation of the roof in a way to disguise the bedrooms upstairs, while surrounding the spaces with soft surfaces. The two-story house acts as a sculptural element where the lower level and upper level is differentiated with fluid form.Ĭovering a total of 280-square-metre area, the architect breaks down the general volume into two distinctive stacks that make this building read as a single-story typology. German architect Alexis Dornier has used twisted roof that becomes walls and facade elements in Alpha House in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.
