100% agree. I usually search Zillow with “modern” or “contemporary” or “architect”, which usually means 5-10% will actually be interesting houses. It seems the vast majority of even extremely expensive homes are completely devoid of any sense of design beyond “however the other McMansions look”.
- mod 6y agoPerhaps this has something to do with location, as well. The town my business is located in (American South) has a great, long history. Many, many homes are now over 100 years old. A lot of them are very large, and have exquisite crafstmanship oozing everywhere--for me, that's primarily woodwork. Exposed beams, winding staircases, etc. Anyway there's a couple hundred of those here, I think. There are also a ton of more modern (1970s-era) homes that were definitely swanky at the time, but now are really lackluster. They just look dated, while the 100-year-old homes look magnificent.
