I like giant windows because I prefer seeing nature and sunlight over drab walls. I also don’t like clutter and a lot of visual commotion. Given those two parameters, there’s not that much of a variation on this theme to be had. I’m not trying to jump on some modern, minimalistic trend. I just want the building I’m in to be physically and visually comfortable.
Also, cliche design trend or not, almost anything is better than the neo-eclectic style that took over the U.S. in the 90s (e.g., houses like this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ca/4e/fa/ca4efad94007d5a5f9764b473a893dfb.gif https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ca/4e/fa/ca4efad94007d5a5f976...)
Edit: just noticed that although I am not fond of the article and its writing style, the author is actually the person who created the McMansion hell blog, which criticizes the same type of neo-eclectic house style that I also criticize above. Go figure.
- zdragnar 6y agoI live pretty close to an area where loads of farmland is being bought up and turned into subdivisions, driven largely by national construction companies buying up hundreds of acres at a time. The picture you linked to could have been taken in any one of them. It's pretty depressing, but then again, I live in a cabin in the woods (definitely not for everyone) so to each their own I suppose.
