Interior v Exterior
This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by firebunny on Friday, January 6, 2017 and has 42 replies.
When it comes to buildings, are you more enthralled to their exteriors, interiors or both?
Exteriors.
But I like surprises. Sometimes the interiors can be surprisingly fascinating compared to their exteriors.

Posted by gem_maMe too. Kinda weird coz it kind of puts to naught the adage "don't judge the book by its cover." I don't know why most people put premium on the exteriors either.
I want to say both but really I love the exterior more so than interior
I'd want both..but if I've to choose one.. Interiors.
Posted by DeadStoolLol.
Also ground rules:
Exterior = You're shallow
Interior= You're deep
Both = Liar

I'd have to go with interior because I don't remember the last time I stood outside taking in the sight of a building all day.

Here's a cathedral that looks so ordinary but has magnificent interiors:

Is that your house, LadyNeptune?

Posted by gem_maSo you mean the interiors are easier to design?Posted by firebunnyThe concept sounds so backwards though if one is to equate choosing exterior as the same thing as choosing a book by its cover. I look at exterior by design, model the whole structural foundation, I'm hardly just looking at it from the outside-in nor by looks but rather as a whole.Posted by gem_maMe too.

Interior isnt hard nor complex, it's whatever you want it to be.click to expand
Both. It makes me tingle when I walk up to a beautifully designed home, walk over the threshold and see the interior is as beautifully designed and decorated. And the exterior and interior should be harmonious, unless someone's design sense is eclectic and they have a retro/modern interior in a 150 y.o. country villa.
But that's why I work in and around the design field.

Posted by firebunnyEver been in one of those warehouse apartments? Thing looks like utter shit on the outside, with grafitti and piss stains everywhere. But once you step in, it's the complete opposite. Practical, minimalist decor, contrasting colours that just flow with the theme. Everything in its place.Posted by Ram416Like a cherry inside a chocolate? Or a hard candy with a surprise center?

Interior by far!
I love getting a feel of a place, and I'm only able to feel when I walk inside.

more so interiors
I stayed inside an RV once and it looked shitty on the outside but on the inside it was really pretty and comfy. I don't mind living in one now!

THE CREEK - HILLTOP HOUSE by Openbox Company
The overall structural concept was based on very few columns and footings, elevating the house above the pile of stones, leaving most of the stones and existing contours untouched. Base materials were raw concrete surface and cement screed to express the raw “nature” of construction materials, and helped to avoid problems with paint against the high humidity of tropical rain forest surrounding.

I love the bench seat in the brick wall too! did you do the lighting above it?
I still don't believe i landed in las vegas of all places when i see places like in this thread, my heart and soul belongs in nature, in trees, in GREEN. I'm in the desert

Yes, I did the lighting design for the whole house. The designer picked the fixtures with my help, and the contractor gave us carte blanche to do whatever. It was a fun project!
This is one of my favorite shots, because it was technically difficult to do (installation-wise) and it came out so well. The glass between the columns look out onto the deck outside, so from the outside you can see the other wall, which had artwork (and lighting) between those columns.

It looks expensive.
That house was listed at $ 2.5M in 2007. Not much compared to most metro areas. It was also on an acre site out in the country. I don't know what it eventually sold for.
Posted by sultrykittyi was born in the greater seattle area, moved to Vegas 15 years ago... yes cost of living is what brought me here. i stayed due to job.. i would love ot go back or move someplace else that had more nature tbh i miss being so close to water. My soul craves it, especially when i need peace, it soothes me.Posted by justagirlI don't think I could leave here, unless a financial opportunity that I couldn't refuse came my way.

That is lovely, very nice work.
Yeah I'm gonna have to say both. The exterior catches my attention. Then I have to check out the interior. I like architecture, design, interior decorating, etc...it appeals to my artsy creative side. I come from a family of architects and carpenters, must be in my blood, lol.
Posted by DeadStoolIt's too dark inside tbh. But I love how it's nestled into the site. Looks like it belongs.Posted by LadyNeptuneThis style has always been a dream, one of the reasons i studied architecture for a bit until that dream was destroyed lol

Thanks @justagirl
Back on topic, THIS is my dream house, inside and out. Modular home, just crane them in and bolt the pieces together. The whole thing can go up in a day.
