My boss just landed a reno gig here. Dunno how big it is, the current owner did a big reno about 25 years ago. Hope I get a piece of the work.

With a richly patinated copper-clad facade fashioned with arrowhead motifs, the 1928 Samuels-Novarro house (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright) rises dramatically from a winding street in the Hollywood hills.

Renovating a FLW house? That seems sacrilegious.

Ugly house

Sort of true, but it's possible that in its context and the interior design, it's stunning. I do find the patina of the copper quite lovely myself. The concrete look to the rest of it is brutish.


there's no character

It's there, it's just not aesthetically pleasing to our eyes. I'd call it "brutalist".

I could drink 12 beers and that house wood still be ugly

Why do you want to fuck it or something?

But he didn't say it's his boss's home. He said his boss got the renovation job. [/QUOTE said:

That's not far off. Wright used a lot of concrete later on, but in his interiors he tended to keep the Prairie style that made him famous. Personally I think the exterior has an Art Deco vibe, but it's subtle. I also think it was an engineering nightmare to site it on such a steep ass hill.

There are a lot of engineering nightmares in high-end CA homes. It's the geography, cliffs, hills, canyons, etc

There is a water treatment plant around here that looks just like that.
