We don't really have McMansions here.
In my town I mean - I know cities witha larg complement of fottballers hav them! Which isn't to say we don't have some bloody ugly houses. It seems so peculiar to me that architects actually study and train and get expensive qualifications. I mean I get that they have to learn about supporting walls and all that - but couldn't that be done by computer now? Seems to me that the majority of architects must be bored to death churning out identical ugly buildings. Not referring to the house above. It's not where I would want to live but it has definite appeal. My immediate dream would give me a 2 bed ex council flat on the Elmhurst Road. Sadly, I'd still need to buy it outright (£112k) in order to afford to live there. My ideal is a house in Bierton which has a gorgeous curved wall, huge windows (on private grounds with an electric gate) and so much space I think I'd have to have a Dwellar come and live with me to fill the place with noise. I'd have a carpenter come and build a whole cat room for Diz with tunnels, perches, hidey-holes and ramps. Sigh.
