Ugly House (last night, Croydon)

[specialsubject]

ok, so please can someone explain for the designer-ignorant:

1. why an architect can't stick to a budget, even when working for free
2. how you clean big panes of glass set in the ceiling, given you are in a city where the rain won't be sparkling
3. why you fill an enormous kitchen with a giant island
4. where you keep things in bedrooms with almost no storage, however minimalist you are
5. why you have a big white concrete panel next to the front door
6. and why such a big house has such a narrow staircase?

I wondered why they hadn't removed the ghastly dormer in the roof. Then I discovered that it had just been put in!!

They should call it 'Normal House to Ugly Impractical House.'

I'm pleased to find other people who share my view on this!

I quite liked the new layout downstairs, but what's the point of creating separate rooms if you then put glass walls between them?? I also thought it was a bit bonkers to spend all that money on a loft conversion without actually creating an extra bedroom (or bathroom).

I think I preferred the Teletubbies house to the one this week!

I hated the grid effect and all that glass to clean..yuk
Why no mess, nothing on the worktops or.window sills, nothing out of place. It looked so clinical.
