Never fond of his work. Toooooo artful. A home should feel like a home.

This one I like. It's also a bit reminiscent of the awesome house from "Diamonds are Forever"

Some of the homes he built in Michigan are very tastefully done.

Most of his buildings are not very functional as buildings.

The roof of the Johnson Wax building has never not leaked.

The foundation that manages Fallingwater spends millions each year trying to keep it from washing down over the cliff.

His Eusonian homes in the Midwest are very hard to sell because he inaccurately predicted that future Americans would eschew material possessions, so he built them without closets.

Some I like, some I don’t. This one, I don’t. It isn’t practical for a family home. Too much wasted space, it’s cold and I’d fall on my face every time I walked across that floor.

That’s the way most of the fancy homes on YouTube feel as well. All about the designer on an unlimited budget. Look like fancy hotel lobbies/spas, not homes. But I’m sure they’re crying in their bisque & champagne as we speak!
