Today across my desk came the results of a survey about the styles of houses home owners prefer: traditional, contemporary, modern, transitional, et cetera.

There was no style that won a majority of responses.

What does this study show about the status of residential style in this country today?

In the houses seen most by me in my life time, the traditional style seems to be most seen as it represents a certain comfort, familiarity, status, popularity, et cetera.

To achiever the highest level of art and design in any aesthetic manifestation, it is necessary to express the times in which it is built. Copying the past, regardless of the quality and money involved, is simply a copy.

Generally, people will choose what they like and want for the type of style of the residence in which they live which makes for a good emotional and psychological relationship.

The highest level of beauty in any style of residence can only achieved when the principles of aesthetics and laws of physics are used.

Where are you in what you choose as your residential environment?

Food for thought.
