What's modern about that house? Ridiculous amount of electricity required, flat roof in an area where snow is expected for a big portion of the year, heated outside pool, very remote but VERY dependant on electricity, internet and TV must be fun. It all starts kicking in pretty fast once you move in and realise your kids grow up alone because there's nobody in their age group for miles, no days when you feel like doing nothing (especially in the winter), no way your kids can play outside (in the wilderness) unsupervised, no way can they play outside when it's darker - so many WTF's and ifs there.
That's something I would build when I retire and grow sick of the world. Even asylums can be "modern" I'll give you that.
- ilamont 5y agoI was thinking about the kids, too. Children need real and regular contact with classmates and peers, as the pandemic has demonstrated. Having a luxe bedroom and a heated pool in the middle of the wilderness doesn't make up for extended periods of loneliness and isolation.
- lariati 5y agoIt is modern as in modernist style of design. I don't get it though either. That style is for flexing and showing off to other people. In that location I would want a baddass log cabin.
