Local studio Buero Wagner designed two conjoined homes in Germany with exposed concrete interiors wrapped in charred timber.

Readers debated the project, with one describing it as "a sharp and inspiring take on suburban densification", while another dismissed it as "another reinforced concrete hell".

Other stories in this week's newsletter that sparked debate included plans for a new city in the United Arab Emirates, news of the death of Poundbury architect Léon Krier and a bench in Germany by artist Martin Binder that acts like a seesaw.
