Well, that's just your opinion, man.

I work for an architect who is a genius, in my opinion, in that he designs complex houses without using a computer at all (he's like 70), and most of them are comically impractical. One sad case is way the fuck out in the woods down a mile long single lane gravel driveway (many of his clients build in crazy locations), and the main room isn't large, but it's 3 fucking stories tall with two sides mostly glass that will never be cleaned. We had to drag a 40 foot ladder in there to do the ceiling.

Anyway, the sad part is that a young couple worked with him to design this mess, and after about 3 years they separated and we were called back to paint over some of the crazy colors so it might sell. Last I heard nobody had expressed any interest in paying about a million dollars for that white elephant.
