beautiful and ugly ... how many different opinions there are
One reason for the boring houses is – in my opinion – that the judgments can be so harsh. People dare something, build "something different" ... and get slapped down or are showered with ridicule.
Although I don't like many of the examples, I think it's great that they exist! I much prefer "quirky imagination" over timidity.
It is often constraints of circumstance that produce "boring" houses. As a passionate amateur photographer with a passion for architecture, I already had a clearer idea of how the house could look in the end. I envy everyone who was able to implement it like that – we couldn't.
Specifications in the development plan, budget limits, time pressure. Limited area on the plot. No basement possible and still a need for space that somehow has to be realized. Design restrictions with the construction company. And in the end, many end up with a house that will not find a place in Architectural Digest.
Sometimes it saddens me too, considering the costs incurred. For that money, wasn't the dream house also possible visually? But in the end, these are luxury problems. It seems very successful inside, even though we haven’t moved in yet. It is a privilege to live with lots of space in a beautiful place, we are all healthy... all good.
