What do you guys think of modern homes?

This was shortlisted for the 2015 House of the Year award in the UK (incredibly prestigious)
>>
Compared to most modern architecture, that's not bad. It's more of a modern take on traditional design using modern materials.

Here's the interior if anyone is interested to see what a Rothschild's bedroom looks like.

Which begs the question, how often do they stay in that house.

>>134527496
Really, I think it looks the best of the lot.
>>
>>134527424
what too open for my liking people could see you fucking and other shit when they walk pass

>>134528192
It obviously has curtains and who's going to walk past?

It seems to be in the middle of nowhere.

What do you guys think of classic Aussie housing?
Pic related (not mine, but not much different to mine)

>>134528192
When I was in high school I a had a friend who more or less inherited one of the precursors to these arty houses. He threw really cool parties. Awesome hangout.

But there was literally only one bathroom in the whole place where you could close the door and be alone, and even then it had only half a wall next to the laundry machines so people would toss stuff in while you were trying to take a shit.

All the other bathrooms were in full open view from one location or another.
>>
>>134526869
not a great picture, makes it hard to judge. I like the colors and materials, only obvious issue I see is the glass wall. Glass walls are asking for trouble with heat and moisture, not to mention privacy concerns.
>>
>>134528410
Aussie housing has bugproofing problems,very big bugproofing problems.
>>
>>134528410
Some yard work, some new paint and siding, and new fencing would go a long ways
>>
>>134526869
Doesn't look any bad
>>134526957
Nice, but not that comfy
>>134527024
Would live in
>>134527364
Very comfy
>>134527424
Way too much glass and the basic white color makes it very bland
>>134528410
Absolute shit. That shade of blue is the ugliest color in existence and why is the corner next to the door round. Also are the walls sheet metal?
>>
>>134526869
Soul dead post modernist all function no character horseshit.
>>
>>134528192
After that I helped rent a house with some friends and I thought it was going to be normal, but it was all arty, too. There weren't any "rooms" per se. Nothing was divided or closed off exactly.

The best bathroom to take a shower in had this huge floor-to-ceiling window in to the adjacent bedroom. Best you could do was make sure it was fogged up.

But there was one toilet basically in a closet and that's the one I used for my morning shit because at least you could shut the door and have some time to yourself.

That looks something out of the wire.

Some fancy house can't even cover up the pipes in the ceiling?

>>134528810
shortlist for the blind? It's a damn barn.

looks like a home for manlets, would literally hit my head on that

For real how is that shit heap $500,000??
>>
>>134526869
That isn't too bad. I've seen much worse.
>>
>>134529096
But it has curved walls so when you fall into a corner you don't get stuck in any sharp angles, and a nice plant int front so you can look normal from afar.

Personally I think modern homes look like utter shit. Most of them look like a cross between a dentist waiting room and an office block. Completely soulless.

I'd love an original Art Deco house or a Georgian town house.

Absolute dogshit.

How bad is it?

The good thing about living in cold climates is that ants and wasps are basically the worst I ever see.

Isn't it great when winter comes around and all that shit just dies? Fuck warm weather. That means shit all crawls around and flies in the air.

If these homeowners were any smart, they'd have a couple feet of solid concrete, not a bunch of glass...

I feel like they are copying Japanese architecture too much. It doesn't look British at all.

Go look at past global architecture contests and the Japanese entries. The British houses you posted all look like they ripped off the Japanese.
