I really like contemporary / modern architecture. I enjoy interior designing (and furniture).
Having said that, most of the traditional (old) architectural designs are outright gorgeous.
Unfortunately, in Texas, we have a very little imagination and the overwhelming majority of the houses are plain boring.
Some I do like don't get me wrong, but when it comes at the cost of a old, brick/mason building that predates WWI, I feel it's just a waste sometimes.

Holy real estate porn edition of the Tuz...



:lol: So much money. So much Russian money.

The closest equivalent we have here in Lisbon is a place that, and I quote the locals, "looks like an Angolan lives there".



Yes, but that sort of aspirational F-U Instagram tacky that you get from rich Russians isn't as common in Cali, even if it exists.



Swank. It's a gorgeous area, let alone the home. Americans get a little caught up in their "faux Tuscan" nonsense at times, and this teeters on the edges of that. But not so much that it smells like french fries (i.e., McMansion).



Overly angular with a weird mix of wide, bland spaces and tight bedrooms. That is a house that was not designed for living in. Some architect's jerk off for his portfolio.



Yeah, but you'd weigh 500 kilos because all you would be able to do there is ride your rider mower all day long to care for all that landscaping. The maintenance costs for staff alone are going to be almost seven figures a year.
that’s why I said if I were rich. Like billionaire rich. I wouldn’t be mowing my own lawn, come on man.

Although according to @AndreaCristiano that might make me a bad person :p

At least in the US you get decent value for your money.

The UK housing market is a complete fuckin rip-off.

And all those leasehold properties too. :claire: You end up spending 10 million on a property only to realize some British lord who's an all-you-can-eat salad bar of inbred birth defects bound together by an ascot owns the land and can claim it back in a decade or two.

Then I want photos of your service staff, bruh. :D
