Gneisenau Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 For example, some colleagues considered the Florida Versailles to be gaudy and vulgar, but I quite like baroque architecture (at least on the exterior), and assuming the Florida Versailles ends up looking like the one in the Parisian suberbs, I don't think it is gaudy or vulgar. Do you think Versailles is gaudy ? What kind of building/architecture; style do you consider vulgar ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Tony of House Stark Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 When i become rich and powerful, i have always dreamed of buying my neighborhood and mimicking the palace and grounds of Versailles. I think its awesome not gaudy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofless Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Even these? No, not so much. Have you ever been to Vegas? I'm talking about homes. Whether people think they're in the Swiss Alps once they get through the front door though, I'm not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I can't stand the upper middle class cookie cutter giant colonial soulless houses where the houses are built with the maximum insane amount of space.for the dollar even though the actual house is poorly built out of cheap materials that will be Crap in yen years even though you paid a quarter to a half million for an ugly piece of junk house was one of 3 floor plans approved of by the HOA and no basketball hoops are allowed and all the chimneys are fake zero clearance vinyl sided chases with fake stone work and sprayed-on hydroseeded lawns.Also raised ranches and stuccoed Mediterranean shit in the NorthEast US.

The Fallen Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Tough to top thisAdmittedly it's not so much the architecture....Wow! Is that a big leather cover glued to the exterior. This even beats Ghetto Fab. I'm surprised the neighbor's haven't sued them.I've also seen Spanish tile roofs in NYC; ridiculous.In terms of furniture I don't like the medieval-style chairs, tables, and couches that are big and bulky. So tacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aemon Stark Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I really hate out-of-scale mansions with out-of-context architecture. Like this. This is the Fountain family house in Halifax. Between the pink and the weirdly arrayed columns, I've never been sure whether it belongs in Palm Beach or whether they're going for something like Dalvay-by-the-Sea in PEI.

S John Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I've decided that I want to live in an A-frame log house with a gigantic bay window and a gigantic fireplace, so I guess if my bar is set at 'logs' I can't really judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nymeria10k Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I think anything bigger than you really need (like, if you're a couple but have a 100 room palace) is just vulgar. I dislike spending excessive amounts on unnecessary things. But that's just me :dunno: I'm a fairly moderate spender myself. I'll spend on the necessities but will treat myself from time to time.

Woofless Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Ugh. It's perpendicular repetitiveness is practically wallpaper treatment. Angel choir of Lincoln it ain't. Well of course it isn't! it was built in the 1800's and for a large 'office' building I am happy that they chose gothic as the architectural style.
