Strange how aesthetics consistently get the highest priority for architectural decisions. My understanding is the biggest real criticism of five over one designs is that as built most of the wood is not wood as most understand it, but various engineered wood products. These engineered wood products have many positive qualities, but are also highly vulnerable to fire and produce a great deal of toxic smoke when they burn. To me increased risk of unusually damaging fires is a far more serious problem than poor aesthetics. If taken seriously then it should be possible to address or even eliminate both the increased fire risk and aesthetic objections.
