Sure...

Many more think like I do, just look at tiny house movement. I am not that extreme, but shows how little one needs to live in.

We are talking about a single older man who visits walmart 32 times a day and whos chief concern is appearing to be rich. If he doesnt have a giant house to display his daily purchases hes not going to be happy.

^^^^^^ this. I think this is how many people keep score. Tbey have to have a big house and many fancy cars. You look at the popularity of McMansions and you can see that people "need" more than 1k sq ft per person.

We have a l 1400 sq ft house. Perfect size fo us. The idea of having to clean more makes my skin crawl. Skid is lie many others. He has to show off or he feels he has failed.

No, this is the house across the street.

I was trying not to be mean to Joe, but my comment was directed at his "need" for this excessive house and that the house existed.

Surprised based on your espoused political views don't seem to agree.

I know a few people who own such excessive houses. They don't live in them; they just use them for special occasions.

One guy I know owns a home in Bel Air, California, but he lives in a tiny turn of the century house in Colorado. The big house is just some place to throw parties when a new project is unveiled or released. To hear him tell it if he lived there he would just tear it up and then where would he hold his parties?

And really, in his case, he lives in a hotel. He is always on the road making a project. The place in CO is just somewhere to hang out until the phone rings and his Agent tells him to pack his bags.

what political views? If you got it flaunt it. SRJ is my inspiration, Ive rented an aircraft hangar and parked a westfalia in it to live in. Surrounding me are a sea of earthly treasures procured from walmart.

I bet NO ONE has that copy of big mommas house/ big mommas house 2 for 5 dollars that I have.

Nah, more like

The design at least on the front elevation is really strange. At least to me. As soon as I saw the picture I though it might be a good building to convert into medical offices.

Sometimes a minor exterior change of a façade can help a lot. Possibly not in this case. May take a substantial front wing.

Strange some large trees are not present either. Another thing if I were to buy this place to rent out as a residential unit. I would not do it as for that kind of rent expected. I would at least expect it to look like a home. Making it hard if not impossible to find a tennant. This buildings future may be something other than residential. Tough though if it is fixed use by local zoning regulations.

I would try to find the original architect and have a talk with him. There is little chance it was built from stock plans.

Why the unbalanced glazing design? The preliminary drawings must have looked as bad as the finished product. Maybe the client called too many components of the design. A Spanish tile roof might help a little. Although the structure may not be heavy enough to enable it. It could take a raised seam copper roof though.

Unbalanced designs are an everyday build and if done tastefully can work well. The bottom line is pretty much accept it as is or spend a substantial amount of money.

This I know is a hard cruel evaluation. It to me is just what it is. No matter who would want to buy it. Perhaps my vision is not what it normally is right now. I just do not see any easy substantial improvement. On the other hand I might just be having a bad day.

Not at all. Flame away. I think your perceptions are cogent.

It occurred to me this morning that the residence was conceptually built around not making the 55' X 20' X 20'' RV garage, not look out of place. If that can be made to make sense in the home's design. Well, what it did was make a commercial sized rectangular box of the residence. Because, from the outside, one would never know of the outsized garage under roof, except for the massive, commercial design garage door. I think it got away from them, whether they realize it or not. Just my .02.
