@ Nullifidian, I think I do agree with you, of course architecture should aim high. My comment was on the fact that the way this beautiful house has been portrayed for the media is dull, thus for average coffee table books, then it is not aiming high enough.
I think the interior designer should have made it more hedonistic, and less boring in terms of interior. It is trying to hard to please the middle class taste, and should try to reach for the sublime by using more sophisticated material, or maybe playing with vulgarity and luxury. In a way this house looks very nouveau-riche.

“No, why ? Can you read any marxism, or even a single word of social struggle in my comment ?”

No, and that’s the problem. I’d prefer an honest class struggle politics to the mindless naysaying exhibited here. Your sole objection to the house was that it was beautiful enough to be an entry in a coffee table book. By that standard, why not stump for cardboard boxes or rows of shanties? I haven’t seen them exalted on people’s coffee tables.

One hopes that the point of architecture is to create something that *somebody* will find aesthetically pleasing as well as functional. So you are always going to be able to sneer that the people who might like a piece of architecture are the Wrong Kind of People, but it’s still engaging in the worst kind of ridiculous, impotent BoBo snobbery.

No, why ? Can you read any marxism, or even a single word of social struggle in my comment ? No, it’s just a comment on the current trend of “what is good taste” for the bourgeoisie…
This house is classy for sure, but maybe missing a touch of vulgarity, that would make it definitely interesting…or maybe it’s just the charmless interior ?

“So upper middle class cliche it makes my eyes bleed…”

Would you suggest a cardboard box in an alley off of Wiltshire Blvd. instead?
