Armat Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 I am sorry guys that this topic does not belong here but I figured better being used then not at all since business section does not get used often. As a kid and adult I always loved beautiful buildings. The shapes and tastes have changed in me over the years. As a young twenty year old I liked skyscrapers, modern buildings, skylights, minimal clatter, and open spaces but as I grew older I have grown to appreciate old buildings with character and in turn really value them. I often think about words like character and I know exactly what that means but very hard to define. In these examples I like to share my dream “house” with you. I like houses which leaves the viewer with intrigue, hidden rooms, ally ways, stairs that may take you to the roof and a great little light house or a meditation room in short you don’t see a box and nothing more then a box. What I like are structures which invite imagination, details, play with color, shapes, height, light etc.All which makes a character rich house. Ohh well some day…What is your dream house?

ED Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Makes me want to visit Amsterdam! Armat jan just stay away from those red lights bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nairi Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Any of these: http://www.angelfire.com/bc2/skolind/amsterdam/a3.jpg Seriously, I love the design of Amsterdam houses, especially the ones on the canals. Here's just four (one link, too big). You can find many more on google. I got a bit tired trying to find the really nice ones, but just to give an idea of the craziness and "disorder", but also beauty, IMO, of these rowhouses. Not sure if I would want to live in any of them though. http://www.selton.nl/amsterdam/rembrandt/images/12%20rokin.jpg http://www.myphotographs.net/holland/adam026.jpg http://www.travelwithattitude.com/images/Ambassade_from_Singel.jpg Singel At Night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THOTH Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Yea - nice places - and I agree with what your saying Armat (of course our home is just the opposite - very open...which we like...but with kids in the house sometime you wish for a room very far away (with good sound insulation) - that maybe they can't fine their way out of - LOL) And I first thought the house pic you posted was the "Winschester House" - familiar at all? It seems to meet your criteria pretty well...LOL http://www.winchestermysteryhouse.com/ And Nairi - yeah way cool...but I don't think i could live there for ever - like more privacy...less noise...and unfourtunatly i've never been to Amsterdam (though your pics reminded me - very much - of homes in the French town of Honfluer where I have been - just gorgeous...)...I did once have an oppurtunity/invite to travel to Amsterdamn (when I was single)...got an invite from a Dutch military officer I met...and he promissed to take me all around town and show me an amazing time (to those red lighted window homes & such!)...sounded like great fun...regret i never took him up on the offer... And Stormy - you forgot to specify a treehouse with electric and an internet connection...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
