Hmmmm isn't it interesting that when I talk about art, design....Tapio Wirkala, Venini, Alan Adler,...there is a built in audience that understands what the fk I'm talking about....
One of the things I do when I travel is to visit historic homes in the area. I also have a little hobby here visiting the different home builders Model Homes. When Iwas living in SO CA I always made a point of visiting the Pasadena Showcase Home, or any HOme Tours that were going on.
One thing I can say about LV is that the architechture here is BAD....Bad Taste is the order of the day both in design and interior decorating. Gauche is the word for it....I took a trip over the hill to Boulder City and drove around an area of custom homes with lake views. I saw exactly 2 homes that I thought were clean. One was a Desert meets Modern design where the desert landscaping was on the minimialist side, just beautiful. The other was more of a Contemporary Spanish Colonial Revival home that is prevalent here in LV.
With the price of an acre of Developed land going for 500K to 600K here in LV...I might as well go back to CA and look. At least the weather wouldn't be so hot....
