Judging New Buildings – Update #2
This new house in the Woodland-Normanstone neighborhood has certainly been controversial. Here’s what it looked like in Feb. The architect is Michael Marshall. Here’s what it looked like in September. I gotta say, I’m absolutely digging it. Check out the chimney:
Now that it’s coming closer to completion for those who had reservations, has it grown on you at all?
Lots more photos after the jump.

Whether folks like it or not, it will definitely have architectural significance in the years to come. I do like it

No it has not grown on me at all. It still looks like an office building.
It’s still an ugly hideous monstrosity.
ugly as an Abu Dhabi hotel.

It’s an office building. Not a house.
My only guess is that the builder intends to donate it to the city as the Normanstone/Woodley Public Library 25 years from now.
Whoaa, my boyfriend and I drove past this house this weekend and thought it had to be an office building. Guess we were wrong.
It’s interesting… Don’t hate it and don’t love it. I can imagine some designs I would like more for what that must have cost.
