The kind of person who builds a house like that shouldn’t be allowed to live next to a school.

Yeah that just screams "converted commercial building." A furniture store comes to mind. Or possibly an airplane hangar.

I'm all for having some hobbies you can pursue locally but Christ, you need to have some reason to leave the house. I bet they order their groceries delivered too (perhaps in the form of pre-prepared meals).

It would make a nice little neighbourhood rec center. On the other hand it's apparently the perfect house for someone with an area rug fetish.

It really feels like they misunderstood the plans and thought it would be 30% smaller, then when they were moving in and had a bunch of spare room they just went 'eh, fill it with old persian rugs, I guess?' There's a tremendous amount of deadspace between the open kitchen and the pool, and the rugs and plants just make it seem like they had no idea what to do.

That house looks like it was built by someone whose one goal in life was to live in a 1985 era Holiday Inn Holidome.

Play my own goddamn music over the speakers  Still wouldn't have a goddamn pool right inside by the kitchen.

It’s possible the indoor pool is brominated instead. If that’s the case, it STILL wouldn’t even be the most  thing about that abomination.Just circulation pump power for the big pool is probably nearing $300/mo.

Ghostnuke posted:directly adjacent to 8 lane highway Nah, not really. 217 isn't even the interstate. Still gets a lot of traffic, though, especially during commute hours (which is about 7am-7pm these days). From the outside, I would have pegged it as one of those trendy churches that has a "cool" pastor who wears torn jeans and has an earring.

This looks like the sort of house I would build in the sims when I'm feeling self-indulgently silly. Way too big for normal people! The openest of open concepts! Indoor pool in what would be an awkward and frankly unsafe place! And then they chickened out and the bedrooms are so normal. Come on.

I'm sure the industrial warehouse lighting gives everything a warm glow. They have an 8 car garage, but still leave the car out in the carport.

MagusofStars posted:My first thought based on the wall of windows, building shape, and pools is that it was originally a LA fitness that someone converted into a house. Mine was that this is a low budget version of the space station from that Prey videogame. Be careful going around the corners, you might see a black smoke monster! ...or a human cult member. If it were for all the windows, it could easily be an underground bunker for some offshoot of a mormon cult. Altman be praised!

Sloppy posted:I'll take 'owner-designed home' for 4.5 million, Alex. I honestly don't dislike it all that much, but being from Phoenix, the thing that struck me about it was the complete lack of anything resembling insulation in the roof & attic. Of course it's not located in Phoenix, so maybe not as big of a deal, although I would think it might be cold in the winter.

Holy poo poo that's right near me lmao! I thought it was some kind of gym or something, I've only seen it from the highway (which is always noisy and congested). The area also sucks a lot. Would love to hang out there during a rainstorm though.

Portland high-tech sweat shop. They cram 100 SE-Asian IT workers in there coding 24/7. The swimming pools are because they can't all fit in the 7 bathrooms. You can fit quite a few bunkbeds in those 6 bedrooms but still not enough for all 100 so they take turns sleeping.

You know, come to think of it, I absolutely am going to copy this for my next Sims 4 architectural project when I have a chance. I love making dumbshit gimmicky impractical houses, and in the Sims, there aren't things like "high humidity" and "poor insulation" to get in the way of entirely useless but sort of pretty architecutre. I bet it echoes.

If I had infinite money I would buy and restore Lynnewood Hall , which is still on the market and probably will remain so until it is so deteriorated as to be irrevocably damaged.
