I think this nonsense house, once photographed with the self-impressed, would fit perfectly on this blog! http://unhappyhipsters.com/ I came across this recently, and thought it might add some humor to this old conversation.

Paula's e-for-effort comments aside, this house is on the cusp of greatness. It's like a great new sandwich on a hard roll...the inside is incredible; something we've never seen, tasted, or envisioned before...but days later the flaps of skin hanging from the roof of our mouth just remind us of the rough hard exterior. If the architects are really as young as they appear on their website (and they don't get cast in Pulp Fiction the musical), I'm looking forward to their future work. ps - Even Jimmy Reuben didn't use rye his first try.

They neighbors could not have been happy about this addition to their neighborhood. It looks like it would fit into the AU campus pretty well, though. Ugly as sin.

I grew up on Brandywine St. and lived there from the 1950's until the 70's. It was definitely a suburban neighborhood. There were many modern houses being built in the area especially closer to the park. We loved the diversity and enjoyed the families that moved in our neighborhood. I was angry when the church was built next to "the clay field" now the park and ball field. That seemed out of place in a neighborhood. If everyone would enjoy a sense of community instead of criticizing everyone else, then life could get back to be about enjoyment of living in such a great area.

Some people are going on about the design, etc., but as a realtor working with clients, I have to meet the needs of what they are looking for in a home to purchase. If I fail, they will find another realtor. I am sure it is not any diffenet for an architecture, interior designer, etc. This home I am sure was based on what the client wanted in a home. Working with their architects from Alter Urban, this was the design they wanted. The key to the final design is the architect understanding what their client wants! It really doesn't matter what anyone else likes or does not like! I think the house is absolutely fantastic!
