During these couple of years, the design of new houses and recently renovated ones have taken on a new look. Most of them have taken on a more contemporary design where there are more rectangular and square shapes. Somehow, it reminded me of how offices should look , more than how homes should look. Excuse me whoever out there who think otherwise!
I would prefer houses that have designs that blend with the neighbourhood. To me, it is an odd picture to see a completely different contemporary designed house jutting out from the classic looking ones. Recently I noticed a greyish newly renovated house with a glass facade amidst a row of brownish , woody looking houses. The house by itself looks beautiful but it looks odd among the other similar or almost similar looking ones.
Though I don't think the new designs are ugly, I do not understand why some people bother to tear down their already nice looking houses to adopt the 'new' look. Moreover, the building materials nowadays are more expensive and somewhat of more inferior quality.
I thought people should be more conservative in their usage of the Earth's resources and I don't see how this is going to be if they keep on 'chasing after' trends of all sorts.
Even if they are so wealthy, I think there are better ways of spending their 'excesses'. Just in a matter of a decade or two, these designs will soon be a thing of the past and what is 'beautiful and modern' will be 'ugly and outdated'. Humans can be very fickle. The availability of money to be extravagant is the main cause of this fickle-mindedness.

Well, ID is rather subjective so it is hard to understand other ppl's version of "dream house" . They are the ones staying in there, fulfilling their own dream , so who are we to comment.
ReplyDeleteIt is true that everyone has his/her right to his/her idea of how the 'dream' house is to be. It is also every individual's right to express his/her thoughts/ideas as long as he/she is not infringing on another's rights. I am sure I am not doing that as I am merely stating my preference as what I will like to see and of course, I am aware that I do not have whatever power to prevent what I do not like to see!
