I like this. Floor to ceiling light is a good thing to me.

Some landscaping and a new door treatment and this could be great.

It has potential. I’m a designer & I would love to get my hands on this one! They need to put a new modern glass door to go with the windows. I would paint the bricks & trim. They need a minimalist modern landscaping to go with the clean lines on the house. Then to finish off the look I would put a modern sculpture in the yard. Then the house would make sense. That’s just me!

Ugly. very ugly.

The view prob. looks nice from the inside of the house though.

There are few houses like this in the neighborhood with windows and style that don’t match. Not that things have to be cookie-cutter, but I can’t say I’m a fan. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

I grew up in Columbia, MD which kicked off its “planned city” back in the 70′s. This place looks like a bunch of townhouses in the older villages of the city…not cute. I feel like the cousins of the Brady bunch kids may hop out of the door at any moment. To each their own though I guess.

is it just me, or does it look like a one eyed monster on the left, about to pounce upon a very scared two eyed house on the right?? i bet the renovators were hunters…

I actually like them a lot. I completely agree with Larchie.

thumbs down.
thumbs way down.
thumbs pulled out of hands and buried in compost.
then burned.
ashes mixed with a variety of terrible things, poured in plastic bags, and thrown against the windows.

The whole row house looks like a modern infill – note the lack of any decorative brickwork at the top. I think it blends well without being slavishly imitating of the historical details. One school of thought when making additions to historic structures is to design it so that it is clearly visibile what is original and what is new, while still being compatible with the existing.
