The developer isn't an architect, so no formal training which is why the proportions are a bit funky, and contemporary design is hard to do. And the window mullions look strange. I hope the rendering is just an early concept. Too bad the old house will have to go.

Hideous and completely out of character in a neighborhood of older colonials and capes.

I always wonder if the people who buy them feel a bit silly.

If posts here are any evidence, the buyers would assume everyone else is just "jealous" and "not very successful."

Don't be a putz. You haven't gotten around much, then.

It doesn't fit in very well with the other homes, so the goal is to shame the builder and any potential buyer.

Actually, yes. WTF were they thinking?

I love it. Creativity has to start somewhere. I appreciate the contrast.

the design is cool. It just seems out of place with the surroundings.

(which I often pass on the way to work.) Though to be fair, there's a very modern house a couple blocks from me, surrounded by capes and colonials, and it isn't terrible.

Has anyone else noticed that weird-looking, tall skinny modern house going up on Washington Blvd just north of Tallula? I really dislike that one.

Agree, this one and the one on Wash. Blvd. are somewhat interesting but not in the right place(s) for their design IMO.
