Judging New Homes

What can I say? I was blown away by the Woodland-Normstone Terrace neighborhood. This construction site was wild? What do you think of the style – thumbs up or down? Or too early to tell? For those curious the architect is Michael Marshall.

Go on the architect’s website and look under at the McGill Terrace project and you can see what it will look like when its finished.

Future DC home of Nuni and Nooni Schoener – that futuristic Euro art dealer couple from SNL. Cotton candy, anyone?

If I ever commissioned a house featuring a screening room and 10-car parking, I would definitely want the architect to make and post a video justifying what he did. I suppose it is interesting to see that in the current economy, apparently someone still has money to burn.

Is that a single family residence?

I don’t like this light colored brick that is all the rage these days. Maybe it’s because I’ve been in too many new (and hastily built) buildings that use it.

Wow. These people must be exhibitionists. In a very unpopulated area with a huge vista this makes sense. Not sure about in the city (even if there is a good view from that side).

I think I like it, but can’t be sure until it is completed.

That is where the space aliens are going to stay for a couple of years before they destroy the earth in 2012. REPENT NOW YOU FOOLS!

A nice home for the BOSE family.

Was *shocked* to learn from the architect’s video that this monument to ego is being commissioned by a B.E.T. executive.

If only money bought class.

Omari, really? Ugh. I was hoping annoying ambassador’s residence. I mean, the Bob Johnson School of Communications could use some refurbishment before this thing gets built. Boo.

@Anon 10:38, it’s not his, it’s Debra Lee’s. The video, while sort of weird, does have a nice bit about the previous and current owners.
