Can you generalize what exactly it is you like? How many small pointy roofs and different kinds of windows do you like? Is there an upper limit on how disney it can look, if we expanded the McMansion scale to 20 in photoshop?
Can you appreciate a reduced style in other things, say, the original Google.com or the first iPod?
- ars 10y agoThe lower number houses are basically boxes with a bit of extra. The higher number ones have all sorts of nooks and areas. It just makes it more interesting. I can acknowledge that the lower number ones are more practical space/land use wise, (with the exception of an attached garage, which is useful but occurs in the higher numbers). But when you live there having all sorts of small or unusual areas is nice. For example a small nook could be great for reading a book, or a dormer for watching the snow, etc. > Can you appreciate a reduced style in other things, say, the original Google.com or the first iPod? That conflates style with usage. Style changes with no use I don't like - for example I'm not a fan of the fake porch above the entryway. But add a door so I can use it, and I'll like it.
- UweSchmidt 10y agoFair enough. Can't argue over style. (Btw. this is officially the best house on the planet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farnsworth_House https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farnsworth_House)
- ars 10y agoWe have very different styles. That house looks like a great downstairs, but it's completely missing the "upstairs" rooms (i.e. bedroom, quiet reading area, small corners, private areas where you can be separate from other people in the house). It looks like half a house. I can't believe it won accolades. It looks like a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.
