Commenters ask "what's not to like?" in this week's Dezeen Debate

Canadian studios Oyama and Julia Manaças Architecte designed Waterhouse, a shingle-clad woodland home in a natural clearing in Sutton, Quebec.

Commenters were divided on the home, with one writing, "What's not to like?" while another was less convinced, saying, "I see a few intentional moments that create visual interest, but I don't know if I would use the word good to describe them".

Other stories in this week's newsletter that sparked debate include the winner of this year's RIBA Stirling Prize for the UK's best new building, US president Donald Trump's proposal for a classic-style triumphal arch in Washington DC and a student centre at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland by BIG and Rockwell Group.
