luxury handset posted:the contractor on the plan also looked at wright's design and was like "this loving thing is going to fall into the creek" so he secretly upped the amount of reinforcement on the foundation and the thing is still about ready to fall into the creek just lol if your house isn't at least a 5.11a

luxury handset posted:many MCM homes were built for middle class white folks when the 20th century suburban boom was fully raging (white flight) so many of them are still reasonably priced, since they are basically just very stylish tract homes a dozen or more miles away from city centers It’s quite possible to find mid century townhouses in cities. There’s an entire Mies van der Rohe neighborhood in Detroit. Where we are in SW DC there’s a lot of mid century because of urban renewal. We live in a townhouse that’s part of a development that was a project between HUD and Reynolds aluminum, back when aluminum was going to be the building material of the future. (Hint: that never happened) They’re all moneypits because for several generations, Americans decided they didn’t want to maintain the infrastructure they depended upon. But the light is amazing, and the rooms are the right size for human beings.

gvibes posted:Keck and Keck in Chicago was pretty good: https://www.redfin.com/IL/Chicago-Heights/240-Country-Club-Rd-60411/home/12836870 (yours for only 325k!) Put in a real range hood and this would be the perfect kitchen. Provides a ton of counterspace while keeping a close work triangle, has actual dedicated cabinet space for large pots and pans (instead of having to stick them on top of the fridge like in my kitchen), and is open to the dining area without putting cooking messes front and center in the room.  The built-in cabinets next to or below most of the windows in the house are also genius.

20,000 square feet (mansion + 2 carriage houses) on 4 acres in the center of Detroit can be yours for $3.25 million In a real mansion the piano gets its own room  is that a muppet head on the wall  The floorplan is kinda interesting actually and shows the difference between 1914 luxury and modern luxury. More bedrooms than bathrooms for one.   Is it really a Secret Room if it's labeled on the floor plan?

I grew up in a craftsman house where the walls were painted canvas panels separated by wood that had been stained dark through exposure to ammonia. It's quite a look.

PRADA SLUT posted:oh boy, cheap 'vintage' 'industrial' restoration hardware that belongs nowhere save for an actual industrial refurb except with taste and quality I just like to imagine you could have someone throw you up a muffin in the morning rather than have to walk down the stairs. All houses should be designed around such simple goals.

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:The “in-law’s suite” in the attic is definitely for the servant, not your in-laws. I’d wager all the bedrooms in the attic (note only one bathroom between them) are for the servants. Absolutely. That's why they have a stairway that goes straight down to the Butler's Pantry. I particularly like the disconnect between 1914 luxury and now with how the kitchen is completely disconnected from the flow of the home, separated by multiple doors no matter which direction you try to go, because if you're 1914 rich why would you ever go into a kitchen except to fire the scullery maid? Contrast with modern rich where huge kitchens are typically part of the giant open-concept lump of main floor living space. edit – gilded-age rich meets modern rich: the troublesome-to-access kitchen has a dining table and a giant EAT sitting on the counter

I just wanted to illustrate this, here's the giant living space mass in a $4.7m modern house Which, uh, also has... this... entertaining nook.  There's just... there's a lot going on with the patterns in this house.

If you're rich enough to be buying a multi-million dollar house you still probably have a cook/maid so might as well stop the charade of having the kitchen you never use front and center in the house.

Sheeit $4.5 million dollars in Calgary Alberta. There may not be a more out of place house on this planet. And the lot is like 80% house. good luck mr. oil executive
