As human beings we must eat to exist. Yet, much of what we eat is based upon how it taste rather than solely it’s nutritional merit.

The opposite position is prevalent for many choices for residences.

Outstanding examples of residences from around the globe come across my desk constantly. The concepts, materials, workmanship, and function are well done.

Looking at these photos, I keep asking myself: Is it beautiful?

Would you spend enormous resources on and eat food that was very healthy but had no flavor? For all of that expense, I would want something that was absolutely delicious.

For many residences, other aspects of the project trump aesthetics.

Function with out aesthetics for residential designs is incomplete.

How important is it for you to have a high aesthetic level of ambiance from your housing expenditures?

Food for thought.
