Who the heck chose those windows? Bland doesn’t begin to cover them, although I wish something would. The black outlining of that beautiful view makes it all look like a kid’s coloring book. Talk about minimalist detailing, and not in a high art, modernist way, either.

There’s a serious lack of detailing in this whole place. Not quite as bad in the kitchen, except for the cold, hard colors and materials. What’s with the nicely arched ceiling in the master bedroom, complete with recessed lighting, yet the crappy, unappealing TV installation? C’mon, folks – for $10M one expects some nifty hidden job with remote controlled doors to make it available only when you want to watch something. I’ve seen hospital TVs more attractively displayed.

For a whole lot of money spent the architects and/or builders sure didn’t come up with anything near worthy of overlooking that view. Sad, really.
