favorite……. #10: Alan-Voo Family House by Neil M. Denari Architects –
Home can sell itself with no Realtor, necessary, all thoe it would be enjoyable to do so!
Garbage! The lot of them.
squares squares. all the same. someone save me from regurgitated modernism.
Saved.
I’m an engineer spending my days confined to a Dilbert box.
I’m amazed and, frankly, disgusted that a major trend in house building is to extend the Dilbert box geometry also to the exterior of houses.
While I’m not sure I like the Kjellgren Kaminsky house a lot, at least it’s not a Dilbert house, and it does have it’s own style. Respect !
