This is very cool, but strange...

Nice, but not a place I would like to work.
I like some privacy when I work, i.e. I don't want to be distracted by
other peoples lack of privacy.

I agree. The last years of my career I worked in a semi open office,
with 4 to 5 people per unit, no doors. It was not too bad but I missed
the time when I had my own private office.

I don't know about strange - looks quite inviting to me. And it's far
too normal to be described as "crazy".

I think the first thing that struck me as odd were the round joints and
cylindrical tenons. I was wondering how it wasn't tilting like a parallelogram.
Granted, it has supports, but I would have thought there would be resistance to
folding inherent in the joints.
I've also never seen such large timbers with such tightly machined joints.
I like the inside of the building, but really don't like the way they did the
outside.

I think that the way the 'parallelogram' is constructed prevents it from
collapsing: two horizontal beams on each side of the columns in
particular, and all tightly joined together by the horizontal cylinders.
Consider also that composite wood beams like these have a far greater
tensile strength than beams made of a single wood trunk/branch.

I don't know if it's just the camera angles, but they look like
elliptical tenons and joints, not circular. This might be the mechanism
that provides the strength against folding over like a parallelogram.
But saying that it would be no stronger than a cylindrical tenon glued
in, so I don't know. Presumably the bases of the vertical columns are
well and truly fixed into the ground, and not just on a pivot.
