SERIOUSLY UN COOL - Bathroom of 'The Trojan House- Melbourne

Bathroom of 'The Trojan House- Melbourne :

Trying to be sleek, but is actually just sterile and boring.  Its not inviting me to use the room for what it was meant for, i.e. a bath.  I don't know about you. but when I have a bath, I don't want it to be cold, the blue shiny walls doesn't say 'warmth and relaxation' its telling me have a shower and get out as quickly as possible because the water is going to be freezing!

SERIOUSLY UN COOL - The Blue Building

The Blue Building

To me this 'architectural environment seems to play with my moral judgement....is it right to use precious resources to build something so self-indulgent and costly in order to make a statement (that's what it seems like to me anyway)?

SERIOUSLY UN COOL - Casa Monte na Comporta - Portugal

Casa Monte na Comporta - Portugal

Yes this house might be luxurious and encompasses fine materials and has a lovely inviting swimming pool, but to me, it looks just like a bunker that you would live in if there was a nuclear holocaust somewhere in the region.  To me, houses are for living in, I don't ever want to feel that I can't a book on a table, or rest my cup of tea on a kitchen counter, then one may as well just expect there to be chocolate on ones pillow.  


Cold, sterile and unwelcoming
