Unknown, NC - Thursday Design Appreciation
I love the way this house looks. The designer has some hits and misses, but this one is definitely a smash hit for me!
Really dislike almost everything about this house. Clearly FLW inspired but so many problems with materials, massing, proportions, etc.
Just to pick a few things as examples:
-
The port cochere entry thing makes no sense and the roof structure is too wimpy for the massive column supporting it.
-
The front door/porch could’ve been strong, defined and welcoming. They chose to wall it off instead. If there are sidewalks coming from the sides, they’re invisible in this shot. This says stay away.
-
That balcony above the front entry is awful. It’s a solid wall that detracts aesthetically and functionally defeats the purpose of swinging those doors open for fresh air, light, and views.
