Modern Homes Picture Thread...

My dream house!!!!!

-G.B.

 

the "floating" fireplace ROCKS!

 

I agree. And I noticed it's a favourite for a few of these homes!

 

First of all, great thread!

Interestingly, New Jersey has quite a few mid-century modern houses. Unfortunately, we are losing them rapidly. The house next door to my parents, who live in Princeton, which was a very charming '60s modern was just torn down yesterday by Princeton University to make way for a McMansion, at least the 4th such loss in their neighborhood.

A Venturi house was lost to NJ but not destroyed. Read this: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/03/robert_venturi_designed_beach.html

On a more positive note, here are some Philly area houses that are quite nice: www.ModernHomesPhiladelphia.com

Wow, that's a serious piece of kit. Brilliant! I wonder how negotiable that $48M price is with how the market is right now...

 

Im in love with the garage. now if only it was an elevator as well..

 

absolutely brilliant, other than the cow-skin couches in the theater room. easy fix

Nice! Is that at your house or did you get a local warehouse?

 

Not at my home.

 

that is one heavy duty door! looks great!

 

That place is incredible! I don't think there is anything there I don't like.

Nice!

 

That London house is a great price IMO!

 

I just watched the movie "Zabriskie Point", and they had such a BEAUTIFUL house there! It seems to me that they built it only for blowing it up later, but the scenes around the pool etc had to be filmed somewhere - anybody know more?

 

It's been a while that nobody post any pictures for this thread. Here are some pictures of a project that I've finished a few months back for my client.

any chance you can shoot me a message? i am in the process of designing a modern home on 10 acres, 4000 square feet. the people i'm working with are incredible builders but i'm not sure we're hitting all the right points in making our home modern enough. what type of wood is that you used on the exterior? i love it and am worried that a million dollar investment won't be done exactly as i want it to.... thanks!

 

I go back and forth about modern homes - sometimes I like them, sometimes I feel they're too cold and "commercial" to be a residence. But when I see some of the awesome homes in this thread I think "I want that!!"
