I think the answer might depend upon what the view would be outside all those windows. It must be good for the house to be designed in that way, even with a rooftop terrace.
As between these two, probably the top one. The landscape might be a bit too much to handle, but I like older buildings. My house in CT is from 1925. Contemporary houses seem kind of sterile to me.
I'm sure they are both lovely homes...I'd select #2, though, for all the glass and light. Plus, we had tons of landscaping to keep up at our old house in Ocala - way too much work and expense!
Holy smokes, I would not know what to do w/ such extravagance! I'd settle for a simple home in the country where I didn't have to share walls!

Crikey. With the top one, you'd spend all your time topiarising and with the bottom one, cleaning windows.....

ReplyDeleteLove the gardens, reminds me of a Japanese garden at the Arboretum. Too much glass to try and keep clean, wow!
ReplyDeleteI vote for the one with as little lawn maintenance. ;)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not the one with the trimmed garden Kate, I have one huge hedge in my garden and it drives me crazy keeping it trimmed.
ReplyDeleteDecisions, decisions. Think I'll stay where I am.
ReplyDeletedepends on where the houses are located...lotsa windows in MN in winter is not always a good idea. Great shots, tho.

ReplyDeleteMay I take both? Huge windows and greens, nothing can be better.

ReplyDeleteI DO love the landscaping but I would feel too exposed living in a house with so many windows.
ReplyDeleteI think I would choose the one with the light. Interesting design.
ReplyDeleteLove the windows and I'm not very good at gardening.
ReplyDeleteI love modern and light, but I love the landscaping, would have to be the first one, especially if it came with a gardener. Ha.
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you but only for a while, just for holidays :)
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic.
Happy weekend to you Kate and yours!
Love the landscaping. Awesome yard!
ReplyDeleteSmall and cozy is my style. I like the looks of both of these houses but for someone else.
