    'Modern' houses showcased in blogs like that may look 'simple' formally but are usually quite expensive to construct. Making clean looking buildings is costly in material and especially in labor. I couldn't afford to build that and i wouldn't even charge myself to design it.

    • yup, nothing like some crown molding or trim to cover up sloppy construction. Modern/minimal is super expensive to do wellformed
    • Is it because the details are less common than a regular house? So all parties involved have to learn while they build?sofakingback
    • sofakingback - yeah, the cost is in the detail. Hiding fittings, things sitting flush, making things look effortless.microkorg
    • it's because things can be seen. McMansions have so much "stuff" that conveniently can hide sloppy work (trim, molding, etc.)formed
