Unless you are like Polly Pocket, there is nowhere to store your garments foolish kitchens with nowhere to sit where you should balance the tray on your knees whilst you watch television. "It is a bit aggravating, it is so superficial. Unless you are like Polly Pocket [a little doll], there is nowhere to store your garments foolish kitchens with nowhere to sit where you must balance the tray on your knees whilst you watch TV." The Grand Designs candidates now err towards the rectangular ( Picture : Channel four ) But it's a little tough to dump the blame for this wave of sub-modernist mediocrity at the doorway of the goggle box, claims Ballieu. "You have to depend on anecdotes" announces Andrew Wright, of the Planning officials Society.
That asserted, even a number of these have their place. Robert, London White buildings like that just work in bright climes. In the UK they look grubby even if they are not, since the skies reflect in them. Lancaster varsity is an wonderful example of how miserable it's. M Ross, Lancaster, UK Amanda Baillieu has the nail exactly hit on the head for my cash. And a much more reasonable research than a stock "modern carbuncle" rant. I suspect it's
a sign of the times, truly. It is the sheer absence of aspiration that dazzles me. If a £5000 vehicle has remote central locking and I will get in and out of my place of work with a swipe card, why has the £300K new build I live in got a total of 6 different keys roughly matching to the ones my twenty-five years old Saab does? Vehicle designers have to try hard for their dosh because there is so much competition. Correct quality does not sell because demand is for new shininess. It is awfully hard to get designs like these licensed by the planners. We must stop living during the past and create houses of 'our ' time. They aren't in it to make good buildings but simply to make a money cow. Rob H, London I suspect these homes are great. They take modern materials and use them to make engaging houses. They never have curtains for one thing, and you should be soooooo neat. For a hoarder like me it'd be torture. Liz, Shepperton Give me a white box over a brick box any day.
