Just bricks siting on each other, pushes the architect to create symmetry that has the aesthetics of a tailored suit.

I’m a sucker for old architecture.
Particularly Colonial/Georgian, gothic, and the revivals.
Every once in a while a building will catch my eye.
This one in particular I like a lot. Ended up staying there a night because it liked the way it looked so much.

If I remember correctly, Ground floor had marble and marble-like floors like a fancy country club.
The actual rooms and hallways on the upper floors were carpeted.
Whole hotel was gutted and refurbished due to decades of dilapidation before reopening like 10 or so years ago.

Modern house have many complications and consumerism stuff in them.

Classic brick are not that expensive to build. In Murica people buy houses from dealers, in other parts of the world, you buy your own land, buy your materials and hire a construction company.

I just got a rush chair. Before i used an office chair, which was severely unaesthetic. I have a cushion for the seat, but can you add a cushion for the back too? Like upholstered or do they make tie-on cushions sized for the back? Or would it be acceptable to drape a small blanket over it? Its a nice looking chair but the back is not as comfortable as i'm used to.

By "the exact same tiling", do you mean the saltillo tiles on the floor? By "got a house", do you mean you own the house? Is this your primary residence, or are you a landlord parasite?

I'm very partial to saltillo tile, but you have to understand a few things about it. True saltillo is very porous, and absorbs just about any moisture. You have to make sure it's sealed well, and if you've just bought the place, it's probably worth having a good tiler take a look and see if it needs a new sealant. Since the tile is often uneven (either due to warping and shrinkage of the wood floor framing it's sitting on, cracking and heaving of the concrete slab if it's applied directly to a slab-on-grade, or natural moisture absorption), you should be aware that it scrapes easily, so don't drag furniture across it, and have nice rugs with rug mats placed over it in areas of high traffic and wear. Saltillo has drawbacks in kitchens and bathrooms because of the traffic and the potential for pooling water and resultant damage. At doorways, you have to be careful that the sweep of the door isn't too low, or it will scrape the surface of the tiles. Saltillo is terrible adjacent to exterior doorways that need to be properly sealed, and you should have a buffer zone of a sturdier, flatter tile in the door's sweep, separated from the saltillo by an expansion joint.

Anyway, to your question about aesthetic. The cabinet color is horrible, and dulls the warmth of the tile. I'd go for a very light cabinet here (e.g. alder) and colorful geometric glazed tiles on the backsplashes, or a warm, honey-color cabinet like oak, and use classic azulejo tiles for the backsplashes. Lot of counter options depending on your preferences and how much you actually cook.

I like a mission knockoff, but the look of this place is too "clean" for me; I prefer rougher-hewn wood, warmer colors, and exposed structure, but that last bit is probably because I'm a structural engineer.

If its truly an older chair, they often would use a throw pillow. However, the pillows were often 1/4th of the stuffing of modern pillows, it was a thin pillow just to go against your back, and then you could wash it and beat it outside to clean it.

I am sick and FUCKING tired of abstract architecture in public spaces.

Public spaces are common spaces, and as such architecs should practice the common virtues of humility and selflessness. There are plenty of good looking but unexceptional houses which blend into their surroundings all over the world. They do their job well. The crazy architectural styles contrasting with each other creates an ugly picture for the eyes. We need more humble architecture.

In the United States really the rich people live in things like bare brick hardwood floor industrial Lofts with exposed piping or quaint restored turn of the century cottages in Seaside towns with wood paneling and all dark green or black paint in rooms and it's very moody and spooky and Instagram worthy.

I hate this ugly style so much. How are square featureless boxes, filled with similarly plain but childishly curvy MCM decor superior to a building made using traditional knowledge of proportions and aesthetics and decorated with masterful ornament? Not to mention the fact that many of these modernist buildings, by throwing out tradition, fail to address functional concerns like avoiding rain damage and ensuring the structure is properly supported.

The only reason these kinds of buildings can look appealing is that they are isolated in nature, and in FLW's work somewhat interpenetrated in it. But can you imagine such a building in an urban area? Very grim.

[Anonymous No.17814026]

There are plenty of charming suburban MCM houses.

I don’t think you understand what composition means. The whole Bauhaus / Swiss design movement were obsessed with formalising metrics of proportion lol

an MCM home is more conducive for hosting Parties having an Indoor / outliving arrangement now. Central heating & cooling can be resolved the Downsides of open plan living. Plus if you’re clever with landscaping and trees you can mitigate a lot of heat.

As for decor I’m much more interested in Southeast Asian / middle Eastern decoration see to: Ray and Charles Eames home

[Anonymous No.17814033]

>>17814026
Keyword sub-urban. American suburban homes are legally required to be surrounded by a large grass lot on all sides, which will likely have a few trees and shrubs decorating it.

And of course air conditioning exists, but that circles back to the point of failing to address functional concerns. Buildings should be designed smartly, according for local climate, insulation, air flow, and sun angle to minimize how much energy is needed to heat & cool it. Although I do know some of these modernist buildings do attempt this.

But I think you are talking about an ideal that few MCM manage to pull off. Outside of a few show pieces, the vast majority of MCM houses are closer to human torture - somewhere you go after work so you can beat your wife and ignore your children.

We're kind of screwed for the most part because outside of some small sort of exclusive places mostly in or around Coastal meme cities the rest of the country literally hundreds of millions of people are living in these things called apartment complexes and they're not buildings they're not historic they're not made the 1920s they're not hardwood floors for the most part they're not anything unique or aesthetic at all they're these really horrid dorm-like structures that are about 600 square feet and their marketed at the mode American so it's deliberately like a lack of taste it's something amenable to a certain type weight class skin tone of person so it's a lot of harsh overhead lighting carpet carpet carpet carpet carpet Pinewood everything like some dormitory not white but this indoor smoking proof off-white yellow paint blasted on everything with a terrible popcorn texture applied to it to make sure you can't fix the problem using wallpaper or something. That's the normal apartment the slightly nicer apartment that markets itself is nicer is probably going to be about 300 ish more dollars to live in where you don't have neighbors that only exist to make noise after midnight those apartments are Millennial Gray and stark white you have a lot of the problems I described but they actually Market themselves as being nice here so in a very generic sterile way they are and your apartment basically looks like the leasing office of an apartment complex itself so lots of glass lots of crisp White countertops paint and just slightly beige carpet it's favored by people with $60,000 salaries and used BMWs of which they're extremely proud

For one thing the default mode of architecture taught in schools philosophically rejects traditionalism and ornament.
You would think that in today's enlightened society architects would enjoy more freedom of expression than ever, but no, they are funneled into post-modernism and mocked if they deviate. New traditional architecture is "outdated", and if it deviates in the slightest detail from history or takes influence from multiple styles it is "tacky" or a "pastiche". This is the most common bad-faith argument from architecture students - they posture as though they have more knowledge of traditionalism than its laymen proponents, and use that to silence them.

For another thing, homes are now built to be as cheap as possible. Developers often refuse to use quality materials, let alone "waste" money on beauty. The economy has become more centralized, meaning that many developments are financed by large investment firms (regional, national, even international). Contrast their incentives with a local individual who, while obviously self-interested, would have at least some stake in making his area a pleasant place to live.

There's also the trend of minimalism. I think it is to some extent a mechanism to cope with the decline of architecture and the decline of middle-class wages. An austere, bare, mass-produced home can become intentional and trendy - no need to buy a beautiful home or decorate it lavishly......

[Anonymous No.17818917]

>>17818915
....continued.

And there's the issue of urban planning. Most of the beautiful buildings tourists ogle at were built in the era before complete car dominance, so they were built compactly and densely for the human scale. Today, in the new world at least, it is legally mandated that all new developments have an excess of parking space, and most often the roads adjoining them are fairly large (compared to the old world) meaning they convey more noise and pollution. Also there are often regulations that discourage trees on sidewalks. This means that, even if a beautiful new building is created, it will have to be surrounded by parking and asphalt. And if the buildings are less dense, there will be fewer of them, so by the law of supply & demand they will be more expensive. This is a major cause of the housing crisis - in most cities it isn't legal to build proper density.

It gets very demoralizing being surrounded by cheap ugly buildings in America. But keep in mind none of it was inevitable, it could all be improved if enough people actually thought about the aesthetics of their surroundings and made their voices and wallets heard.

I disagree with this. While I've moved away from minimalism I still understand the reasons I was attracted to it, I just like everything in my home to appear more "clean" and tidy. Same as putting away your things when you're done using them just applied to all unnecessary things including ornamentation, if they don't have a use then they don't need to be there.
