10 Uncanny Ultramodern Houses You Wish You Could Afford

hmm, it was probably the word "ultra modern"
I don't remember Daz's post being there before either

I hate modern houses, there is no way to get comfortable in them or feel cozy. Give me a small cottage with low cielings and a nice fireplace. Where would you feel best with a hot cup of cocoa and a blizzard outside?

Call me oldfashioned, but all of these modern houses lack life in them. They all seem so sterile with way to white or gray, straight walls, to much glass that take away any privacy or on the other hand to little glass that take away any natural light in the rooms. And even if wood is used, it is done in such a way that that wood is stripped of its naturality. Like if you would have to wear white gloves and anti-dust coveralls and a mouth-protector. The accoustics in nthese houses is very tiring with all the echo in it, so it would drive me mad. And then on all these pictures I see a somewhat sterile interior that reminds me of modern office-buildings- Is there anyone living in these houses, or are they just showrooms for fancy interior-designers that themselves live in some cosy place, like a cosy trailer next to the fancy house...?

Great looking stuff! They should film the next Bond movie in one of those houses.

As an aside, though, I went to art school and I hate all that phony "art-speak" about "creating tension with its environment". Fine artists are as bad as politicians for obscurant language that covers up the fact that they're full of crap.

Be careful of what you wish for... the feng shui of these designs may turn you into a pretentious prick.
