House is nice but I really like the fact it is near a mature stand of trees. I hate it when they clearcut before building. My neighborhood was cleared just enough for a house, driveway and septic tank for each lot.

Doesn't this look like the front of a rest stop bathroom?

 

[I Are Baboon]

Cool house, cool design...not a big fan of the decor.

 

[jimmydean]

I like the inside, but the outside lacks just about everything. The setting is nice though.

My house is more the "rustic lodge" or "classic farmhouse" style set on 5+ acres surrounded by woods

perhaps thats why n8 wants it ???

 

[I Are Baboon]

that looks like a doable drop to tranny...

 

[narlus]

reminds me of my elementary school.

 

[Dirtjumper999]

Don't gay men hang out in those and... Wait a minute!

Well, this was built in 1954 and pine trees grow fast... oaks on the other hand...

Where are the wanted posters?

Yeah I really dig that style of design. I would love to get the plans for one of his houses and have it built.

Here is the kind of house that's popular here at the moment.

This one is right across the cul-de-sac from a lot I bought to build my McMansion on a couple years ago...

Wright's best:

Without a doubt. He was a master but who wants 7' ceilings?

 

[narlus]

could those shutters be more vomit-inducing?

What? They don't reminded you of Tuscany???

WTF?! That brick has racing stripes.

I'd never read that. Are you sure?

 

[jimmydean]

This is what I want to build in the next year or two:

 

[OGRipper]

I would have guessed Neutra, not Wright.

 

[Dirtjumper999]

i have an entire book of all of wright's designs, and that one looks extremely familar, i could be wrong. but never the less, that frankie was an amazing architect, way ahead of his time.

 

[Changleen]

Gross, it's a ****ing penis extension with added bad taste.

 

[Changleen]

Wright's best:

That is super cool. That's the way things are headed over here. There are a few good examples round town, I'll try and find some. We've got the geography for it too.

 

[brungeman]

We have a ton of Wright inspired homes in our area. One of my good friends lived in one that had the same feel to it as the one in your pic, but it looked much better from all angles.

I am more partial to Greene and Greene...

I live in Pasadena Ca., where the Gamble house is. N8 you should see some of the houses in this town. Frikkin beautiful. I love the craftsman style.

There are a bunch of Neutra homes here in Norcal, a friend of mine recently bought and restored one that was neglected for years. The details look almost exactly like some of N8's pics above, especially the floating walls, beams extending from inside to outside, angled roofline, etc. They could just be copies of Wright designs - he certainly had some influence! Maybe N8 can check it out and determine the architect.

 

[Transcend]

Bah, I was gonna throw down the wright reference. I love falling water. That n8 photo one is almost the b udget version of it. I dig it.

edit: the second and third n8 photos are horrendous. Those are disasters by architects gone bad.

 

[jdcamb]

My dream home. Just need a lot.

[DamienC]

Cool house, cool design...not a big fan of the decor.

Yeah, the furniture is all wrong for that mid-century house. They need to get some Eames, Nelson, Noguchi, and Bertoia in there.

 

[DaveW]

Yep that's what I was thinking...... Looks like a toilet block at a park.

Wright's best:

Back in high school, I knew the guy who's aunt and uncle own that house (I believe, this is all a distant memory). Anyhow, FLW is a family idol, along with Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Now all we have is Frank O. Gehry:

 

[Transcend]

That Gehry building is incredible, have you seen the special on it? No one aluminum panel on it is the same. It is a rock an roll museumm with each color modeled on the color of someones guitar (Clapton, Hendrix etc)

I don't need to see the special, it's 10 minutes away from my apartment. Creative, but ugly as hell.

 

[stinkyboy]

That Gehry building is hideous, have you seen the special on it? It's a huge pile of eye sore!

Fixed.

Throw a rock at it for me.

thats amazing, I saw a show on his houses, really cool

Ya it is indeed ugly, but from an engineering standpoint it is friggin' awesome.

Have you actually been inside?
