What is your favorite house style? (hotels, estate, island)

[5Lakes]

Well, to look at I would say a New York City brownstone. I'm not sure they would be the best to live in unless you are wealthy and could gut the whole thing out as a big house. I know in Chicago we have similar, but unattached, buildings called three-flats, and many of them are chopped up into crappy apartments. Even some of the modernized buildings are kind of awkward. Anyone here ever live in an apartment in a Brooklyn brownstone who can comment?

First off I LOVE brick, and I HATE vinyl.

Tightly packed Victorian houses

My first choice is the bungalow, be it small or large. Runner up is cottage style/tudor.

Lately I've developed a fascination for tiny homes. Not teeny tiny but 400-700 s.f.

Modern, avant garde, high-end starchitect designed condos in Manhattan, like this one:
