Wrong on So Many Levels


Innovation lives here. If you can't decide if you prefer a round window or a square one, I say, by all means, use both. And preferably, use them both in the same window. The result is the arched window in the square frame. A true innovation. There. Look, there it is, on the, what is that? Third? Fourth story? But the innovation doesn't stop there. The owners were so enamored of the split level form that they wanted to split it a couple more times. It's truly revolutionary, like the first time a scientist split an atom. In both cases, however, the resulting atomic waste contaminates the surrounding area for years to come. But the occupants will be safe because they are ensconced under that red skylight, which will certainly fend-off any harmful rays. I guess they needed the skylight on that mid-floor after neglecting to put any kind of a window on the face of that wall. Let's talk about those brown stripes. That's, afterall, what gives this home its Tudor quality. Or is it a Japanese Shinto screen? Either way, it's that kind of exotic detail that neighbors must admire and will boost the sales price of this beauty. I do fear for the unsuspecting buyer who purchases this rambling manor only to discover some rotting corpse tucked away in a crazy corner - I nominate the corner that sort of is hanging off the left side of the house like an unwanted flap of skin awaiting the plastic surgeon's scalpel.
