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 !
