What's odd about the handsome Williams house is all the bedrooms but a lock of places for kids to play. No study, billiard room, or other rooms for the adults either. I wonder if they're all in the basement?
ReplyDeleteThe Adams house is a much more FUN style and more upscale. A neater place!
ReplyDeleteMy first impression of the 2nd house was "secret compound". Few windows and other adornments to make it interesting. The floor plan looks good, but the outside needs to be more interesting and motivate me to go inside rather than stay away.
In the times when these plans were designed, kids played outside and used their bedrooms to study in.
If either plan was modernized for much better insulation (walls, roof, and slab) with a very efficient hvac system, I suspect they'd be much cheaper to run than the normal 2500sq ft. peaked-roof homes of today. Add some acreage around them and it could be very good, by comparison.
BUT with glorious staircases, "good knees" would be needed. Or make the "rear stairs" in Adams into an elevator.
OMG! How did they live without a crapper for every member of the household, plus one for guests? How did they survive without a Great Room, each room having an ensuite or even a family room? I guess they played outside.
ReplyDeleteRe: the Adams house---with 2 maids' rooms, I doubt the owner had children to consider providing an activity space. And I agree with Cdadbr, the exterior is lacking in warmth and appeal, not inviting at all.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm the outlier here...I really like the second house much better than the first.
ReplyDelete@VoenixRising, I like it too. Though I am partial to Art Deco style, the Williams house is simple and basic.
