  • No, you’re correct, it’s continuing the rhythm across the facade. I guess what I’m saying is a) the little hip roof looks incredibly weak with that column and nothing else around it and more importantly b) the entire structure is superfluous and as far as I can tell, only serves the purpose of making the house appear larger than it is.

    Edit: I can’t tell from this shot, but perhaps there is enough depth to it that it actually does function as a port cochere. If so, I still feel the same way, it looks bad.

    Spouse can drop spouse off on a rainy night before parking in the garage. He/she can then enter that weird door (that should’ve been on the side) which seems better than trying to figure out how to get in the barricaded main entry.


  • Really dislike almost everything about this house. Clearly FLW inspired but so many problems with materials, massing, proportions, etc.

    Just to pick a few things as examples:

    1. The port cochere entry thing makes no sense and the roof structure is too wimpy for the massive column supporting it.

    2. The front door/porch could’ve been strong, defined and welcoming. They chose to wall it off instead. If there are sidewalks coming from the sides, they’re invisible in this shot. This says stay away.

    3. That balcony above the front entry is awful. It’s a solid wall that detracts aesthetically and functionally defeats the purpose of swinging those doors open for fresh air, light, and views.

    Damn Lemmy to hell for getting me into memes again.

    I loved them decades ago, but then moved on. Then I lost all my communities of interest and spend all of my time here. With memes only.

    It’s getting better very slowly but thanks for keeping me mildly entertained in the meantime.

    That’s great that it doesn’t happen for you. For me, any time I end up on Reddit in a browser on iPhone, it gives the obnoxious “open in app or continue in browser” popup.

    I use private mode in safari though, maybe it’s not saving a cookie or something.
