Is seems like the host would only accept this house if it was in a $1,000,000 Million dollar Neighborhood but the fact that its in a $200,000 Neighborhood bothers everybody
No Dee Dee, fake green shuters, beige stucco mismatched with white vinyl siding, and one of those tasteless, incongruous bay windows sticking out of what once was a beautiful front porch on a once beautiful house, is the real "atrocity".
If you are considering modular or prefab home, building with recycled shipping containers is worth taking a look at.
Good resource is the Residential Shipping Container Primer website. A SHOWCASE OF SHIPPING CONTAINER HOMES AND BUILDINGDS, AND A DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) REFERENCE FOR CONVERTING RECYCLED INTERMODAL CARGO SHIPPING CONTAINERS INTO BUILDINGS AND? ARCHITECTURE.
Lots of great example buildings, details, facts, and links to other articles...
Everything about your home is so great and cool,wish I could afford one,I have an studio very small one,but Hey! I can alway enjoy looking at yours.. ..Nice....
I think it's a cool house. IMO if they had set the house back a bit further they could have softened the effect more with landscaping. Also, I noticed the neighborhood homes were painted mostly shades of white, a lighter finish color would have helped it fit in better. I sure would live there though.
I think it is a very good looking home! Not to mention there are billions of those Conex boxes in this world. Someone needs to set laws on all the bullshit of building house after house with wood, until all of the eye sores in this world are used up. Nope just keep on destroying our world until it has had enough. I believe the Conex box home is ingenious!!!!!
Great modern house! Nice lines and materials. Drove by it the other day and it looks better in person. I'll order mine in a few years, but I won't put it in DeeDee's neighborhood.
They can be inexpensive, but these people went overboard with the ritzy stuff to impress (which has to happen on the trendsetting designs, or people won't pay attention..like the Tesla Roadster and GM Volt).
Nice house. Deedee the neighbor is a bit of a cretin, but couple with great house should be able to win her over if they invite her inside. Also, they should compare fuel bills. Would have been nice to know the total cost and efficiency of the design, and see how the roof is structured.
hey deedee - the neighbour...your house is old, outdated, and ugly...if you were smart you would embrace the genius of your neighbours - on both sides
That is a sweet looking house, I don't understand why the neighbors don't like it. Maybe they are secretly jealous, perhaps they have never ever actually been inside... it's too expensive though, only way you could afford it is to get cheep land in Minnesota.
I love modern houses, i subscribe to dwell, ect, but only when it apropriate to it's surrounding. I really dislike when people do this to older communities.
I love the parvenu neighbor! Probably one of those undecided voters who doubtlessly dreams about owning a McMansion someday with a huge radiant driveway so she can park her Pontiac Aztec and Hummer H2. Her husband the kind of guy that flips mid-century Eichlers and rips out the 40 grand Terrazzo floors to put in Home Despot Chinese Parkay.
Hey, DeeDee, you're a moron. That house is amazing. And, it's probably more efficient than your rickety old, loose window pane crap house.

Another exmple of a non traditional home.
250K alone for that building is not exactly an affordable. Modulars are suppossed to be affordable. Not including the land cost.
