That’s beautiful. Agony but I hope they’re proud. Interior styling is great as well.

I demolish homes for most of the early 2000s. What you feel is nostalgia. Few people build good homes before the 90s. The ones you see are those few. Building used to be such a collection of guys being guys with no idea on what an structure is. We are building to such a higher level now with proper engineering models and proper checks on the system.

@@eliaschevette You misunderstood, I'm talking about 150 -200 plus years ago. Back when door hinges had artwork cast into them. What is built today is soul-less. As you say technical. Go to Rome and you might grasp what beauty in a building is

@@brucebaker3523 150-200 years ago most people in Britain, in Rome and throughout most of the world lived in damp, cramped conditions in simple cottages or urban slums. As the other person tried to point out: the sturdy, beautiful homes that have survived until the present day were the exceptions, not the rule. This is the definition of survivorship bias.

@@frmcf Everything is relative. Mayan temples sacrificed virgins for climate change, today people sacrifice free choice and income for climate change. The world has never been safer or healthier yet people live in constant fear. You can fly to the moon but the common cold is still a medical mystery. Beauty has nothing to do with politics or time. Art is timeless and modern art sucks.

You'll never guess how they solved this - about 6000 years ago, the Mesopotamians invented these things called pipes. It was revolutionary at the time because they could be used to transport water from one place to another! There's been a few minor improvements to the original concept, but the idea is still used today!

You have to give it to them for their vision and perseverance with the project but it’s not a practical or particularly aesthetically pleasing design in my opinion. They could have built above ground, as normal and boring as it may be, and achieve a similar design which would have reduce labour, cost, time and potential drainage issues as the property ages. Furthermore, in doing so, they could have utilised more of the land and incorporated more light and those picturesque views into the design/aesthetic. Missed opportunity to be unique and creative in a practical way!
