Wow beautiful photographs my friend. The first one is so lovely and lively. The last one is very fantastic and planned one. Both are very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad to hear your thoughts Maya. Thanks for stopping by.
The first one.
It really looks like a nice place to make a life and for some reason looks like a place to be creative.
But many times the new things can be inspiring and own a personality with time too, and you'll be there to give it to it.
I agree. The first one does have an artist’s bungalow sort of feel. If it weren’t right in the heart of the city, I could see that even more so.
I’ve lived in a few places like this and have come to find that I enjoy living in newer houses these days, mostly for the comfort factor. While I’ve enjoyed the aesthetic of older houses in the past, I’ve qlways found them to require a lot of work and come with some large discomforts.
Thanks for commenting.
I like the second one because of the texture I see in the photograph. The air condition unit also provides a rather interesting contrast with the older building in the photo.
I really love the texture of that house too. A lot of older houses use that kind of siding and are built in these oddly stacked rectangular patterns, so they end up having this wonderful geometric feel to them. I’m sure the houses isn’t much more than 60 years old. That’s just the way the materials from that period over here age.
I prefer option 3. Frame house under construction. A good opportunity to arrange all over again and perhaps even with a clean slate. Not to redo the old, to build afresh. In life sometimes you can try it all over again :)
It is nice to be able to start over from scratch, especially when you have the ways and means to pursue what you really want.
Neither I think! Old is not built to modern safety and comfort standards, and cookie cutter new is boring ;)
So, slightly old then?
I have to say, I’m quite happy with my new house. I don’t particularly care for the looks of the outside, but I don’t live in the outside of the house so it’s okay.
How are your house plans coming along?
wow beautiful photography @boxcarblue, i prefer first one because i want to live in colorful world not in black and white.
That’s understandable. And that house also has a massive kiwi vine growing all along one side of it, so you would have sweet fruit too. Good choice.
Excellent photographs. Followed and upvoted
Thanks martymcfly. I like your name.
ı think its imposible to live in a place where the soil doesnt exist.
l need to smell the soil. do not you need?@boxcarblue
there are not even one tree in new photo.
That’s a good point. I like living near nature, but I’ve become accustomed to this. There’s a park not far from those new houses, maybe only two blocks away, and across the street there is a vacant lot that is used as a vegetable garden, but what you pointed out is still very true.
I like the first one. Even it looks a bit messy but it's nice human and plants are living together :)
I’ve always wanted to see the inside of that house. The outside has so much character. I imagine it gets really cold in the winter, though.
That's true. It's common in Japanese old houses that tit's cold inside. One of my dream is to renovate a Japanese old house with modern equipments such as floor heating :)
That would be nice, wouldn’t it? I really love the aesthetic and design of older Japanese houses. They just need a little more convenience to become comfortable and conveniently livable. I’m surprised that more people don’t renovate older houses. It seems like most people tear them down and start from scratch.
Someone once said that new is not always better...
Couldn't agree more!
There definitely isn’t any guarantee.
I really like the traditional look in the first picture, but there is a lot to be said for modern construction.
I spent the last four years living in a place similar to the first two houses in this past. While I enjoyed it, living there wasn’t very convenient in a lot of ways. Now I live in a brand new house and I have to say, it’s very agreeable.
The first one just has so much charm and vibrance.
The old man who lives there does too:)
Very nice please help me @boxcarb...
How can I help you?
I always love the story and the resilience behind the old @boxcarblue
They do tend to have character. That character can also be demanding when they begin to fall apart.
Depending on the payment ... for which answer would you pay more ... LOL.
... but I think, the presence of something green that creeps near a building will be more interesting to me than the presence of a machine that consumes fossil energy ...
I take it you would prefer the first one then. Actually, that house is surrounded by streets and cars too. It just has that kiwi vine growing around it somehow.
I agree, green is nice. But it’s hard to come by in the city.
