When I buy a home I would like to buy a modern style house. I like modern architecture . You do not see any of that out here in Boston. Everything is colonial.
Post some pics of your favorite type of architecture.

I like a more traditional style. A nice town house in London

and a country retreat
(http://www.knightfrank.co.uk/propertyImages/S1024639/hfd050159_01.jpg)
would suit me down to the ground. I can't really see it happening, though

Those brownstones are pretty cool. You should visit Boston some time. Beacon hill looks exactly like that. It is actually kind of spooky. I know the ones you posted came long before the ones in Boston! So I should say Boston looks like London in certain parts!

I've been through Boston on the way from Logan Airport to Killington ski resort. Didn't get to see much of it, but what I did see was nice. New England does seem like a pretty cool place to live.

Love Killington. Give Loon a try sometime. Next time you are in the city have a look around. Take a duck tour. The ducks are old ww II troop tranporters. The tour is half on land and half on the charles river off the ocean and the harbor.

Architecture doesn't really matter so much to me, ...but I am partial to Scholz designs and neo-classic designs
As for my favourite type of home, ...one with plenty of love and laughter. :)

I've always loved brick homes, but they don't really build them here. I've come to learn that houses are mainly for women. My wife worries about architecture, walk-in closets, bathrooms, the kitchen, furniture, blinds, shutters, colors, lights, etc., etc. Gives me a headache. Me? I could live in a studio big enough for my weights and my big screen TV.

Gee, ...considering she's a stay-at-home Mom who spends pretty much 24/7 there, ...I wonder why such things would be important to her. ::) And never discount the value of a walk-in closet! Proverbs 21:9 :P

Actually, she was a stay-at-home Mom for about 13 years. She's now a college graduate, working professional, and will start graduate school next year. So now what? :)
Proverbs 21:19. Proverbs 25:24. Solomon was very wise man. ;D

These pics are of a very good friends house here in Kona. It is up on the hill and is just spectacular. I love this place. When I first moved here it's where I lived for about a month. I love this place. I like living on the beach like I do but some of the homes up on the hill are just unreal.

No doubt her 13 yrs as a stay-at-home mom afforded her the opportunity to recognize the value of such considerations.

I'm sure his mother taught him well. :)

Yes I like used brick homes too. Way back in the mid 80's I went to a party at Englebert Humperdick (probably way off on that one) house for a party in Beverly Hills. His house was well over 10,000 sq. ft. and it was totally made of used brick. Everything was the house, planters, walls, stairs. It was so neat. He had huge wooden beams inside mixed with the brick was awesome.
Hawaii has some really architecture. The homes up in Tantalus are awesome. Also in Lanikai and Kahala. Some North Shore homes too are beautiful

Wow, I'll bet he poops himself every time there's a earthquake! Nothing like waking up to a brick in the noggin. :P

Well anytime you can spend a million or more building a house, it's going to be pretty nice. :) I like making the drive up around Round Top Drive to look at the homes in Tantalus. I wouldn't want to live up there, but I agree the houses are spectacular. There probably isn't a house in Lanikai for under a million. There is one on the market now for $24 million. Same with Kahala oceanfront property.
I've already told my wife the next house is on the beach. I don't care if it's a shack. :)

My Gf's parents have a large log cabin near Branson MO on a lake. They had alot of the log cabin mags so i flipped through. If u can find the land thats the way to go, depending on where u are in the States. I think thats what i'm going to do when I retire.

{LOL} I love it. Now that was a damned good investment.
This kid I went to highschool with did the same thing... well his family did. They built a little ramshackle fruit & vegetable stall at the corner of a major cross-roads. It was a little ram shackle fruit stand with stalls, ...and even tho it was so primitive compared to the major grocery stores, there produce was much fresher. I never understood why they didn't develop it further.
Few years later, we read about plan to widen the intersection, and the property was sold to the city. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing. They later sold parcels of land to developers. At the rate our town was growing, it was inevitable they needed more land to build more houses. Now they've got streets named after them, ...not to mention grocery store after grocery store all across the province.

I'm familiar with the sight, infact one of my cousins Fred had his home profiled on the show a few years back
It was the culmination of what our family jokingly refers to as Frederick's folly, ...for a while we really weren't sure which, his folly, or his labour of love. He bought a turn-of-the-century mansion, and lovingly restored it himself ...piece by piece. Matched tiles, flooring the whole nine yards. The DIY project took him over 10 yrs to complete, and he kept pouring more and more money into it the whole time. But, when he was done, HGTV featured it on their program.

Usually my taste a more traditional, but I really like this house that I saw on a programme called Grand Designs. It's built on the edge of a secluded Scottish loch. No fucking neighbours 8)

Diesel, I like the spaciousness of that one, ...but for some reason it doesn't strike me as very warm.
It reminds me more of a house, rather than a home. :-\

I know what you mean. That seems to be the problem with modern houses, they just don't seem lived in if you know what I mean. The thing I like about this house is it's location and the huge windows, which lets in all that natural light, and what you can't see from the pics is the spectacular views over the Loch and of the Scottish Highlands

Location, location, location. This house is in Scotland, which means about 10 nice sunny days a year and about 300 dreary ones, as typified in the first pic.
Also, some modernist homes are able to mitigate against the sterility of the layouts through the use of various design devices.
As well, these places look better when looking lived in, before the photographers hide everyday items out of sight for the pics.

I recently watched the Travel Channel which I love and they had a show on awesome Log Cabins. Man there are some of the best homes around. Just beautiful. I love cabins and the mountains. We had one when I was a kid in Running Springs, CA. I love the mountains. I like southwestern style homes too.
