However, the property looks like a sophisticated corporate conference center.

Not only does it awkwardly break up the miserly lot, but it certainly explains that nasty light scoop as well (just a pet peeve ––– reminds me of every Dickensian description of a jail cell window placed too high to see out of, except for that woe-some patch of sky).<br /><br />A quick look at the <a href="http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=pp8qmn53r5sx&lvl=19.382178619947112&dir=3.2856538383268763&sty=o&form=LMLTCC" rel="nofollow">bird's eye</a> view shows how badly this house's program utilizes the lot; behind a privacy hedge & gate, the front half is treated as a stage for the house, rather than much-desired (and in pricey Riviera ranch) necessary outdoor living space.<br /><br />Rather than expanding the original "I" plan to a stubby "T" plan, the owners would have done much better by going with an "L" plan, much like my beloved FLLW's 1st <a href="http://www.usonia1.com/" rel="nofollow">Jacobs' House,</a> the original Usonian.

How many would you expect to see in the South of France? Americans want what they want......where they want them, often ignoring the Genius of Place for residential architecture. Tudor + Yucca= yuck. Of course, at these prices, owners could afford to have fall leaves trucked in and sprinkled about the vast paver "motorcourts" which invariably front these homes.

Personally, I prefer a colder, wetter climate for the Tudor style as a whole; relentless sunshine deprives one of the coziness a Tudor can impart ––– something even the most sophisticated and artful Hollywood landscaping cannot remedy ––– this lil' gay boy has to feel it in his <i>bones,</i> so to speak...<br /><br />;-)<br /><br />Speaking of bones, although this is a generously detailed MCM, good bones is what it lacks (along with the lousy mid-block siting, the ho-hum landscaping, and the overall layout).<br /><br />While there are quality materials here, there's no getting around dining <i>in a driveway</i>, for Christ's sake. The neighbors crowd the lot, and the "light scoop" (skylight, my ass) over the casual/formal living area speaks of afterthought. Even the bijou pool/guest house would be nicer as the main living area ––– if it weren't for the fact that the neighbor's tennis court butts up against the hedge.<br /><br />Throw in the uptight neighborhood and we have, once again (and to <b>Snowman's</b> continuing amusement), an <i>obvious teardown.</i>lil' gay boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10115496241247504856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-64239669457412015752011-05-18T15:48:58.640-07:002011-05-18T15:48:58.640-07:00Beam me up, Scotty.Beam me up, Scotty.Suzynoreply@blogger.com
