The house pictured in post #462 was on HGTV over the weekend.

 

That house is AMAZING!

 

love the clear end to the pool!!!!

 

The interior looks like it's gray, spray-painted oriented strand board. I like the look.
Anyone know what the actual materials and finish are?

 

While I appreciate modern design, sometimes it can be too much and crosses the line from feeling like a home to an institution. A home needs little details that add warmth and character and a few of these contemporary houses are far too cold and barren for me.

I do, however, particularly enjoy the ones in posts 475, 480, & 481. Quite nice.

 

It's become a favourite for me too

 

Way too cold and bleak for me. Then again, with UBS and Bank Suisse owning 7X Swiss GDP in toxic paper, that may become the in thing there.

 

Gray, spray-painted oriented strand board.

 

How disappointing.

 

boring...colors architectures.

 

i like it...the swiming pool is extra!

 

Hehe. My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if they owned the debt on that home. I also wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't worth half what they are owed.

 

Is that even durable over long term?

 

Am I the only one who thinks that $75MM home is a terrible attempt at home building with a $75MM budget? Seems like they spent all the money on putting regular things in an expensive place.

Oh, and it's tacky

 

you are not alone and thats probably why its been on the market for so long.

 

Gray spray painted oriented strand board. Yes it is quite disappointing. No that material is not designed to be used in that manner. It was designed to be used in substructure. With the semi-glass finish I would guess that they used a water base material. Hopefully there is some type of protective sealer applied, if not the OSB will continue to absorb moisture. The end result will be dis-oriented strand board.
