no way would I live in a home with that many plate-glass window wide open like that.
Truth!
House 5 is passable if you take off the third garage (Am I the only one that likes the side garage/courtyard type of design?)
The first one is too big but would probably tie with number 10 as my 2nd choice.
The bizarre little porch thing on number nine would give me nightmares, maybe if the porch was bigger, lots bigger, it would look better.
Number 7 just makes me shudder, too much going on and none of it in a good way.
I see a lot of people like number 3, but I never really got the appeal of a huge two story window that shows off a staircase, not my thing I guess.
5. I was thinking of 8 due to the size but those pergolas are blocking the view from 2nd floor to what's in the front below. It's a case of form over function which is not good.
If you want the garage to the side or back of the house, you must live in a very small town with abundant space, and if that's what you like, great, but that's not reality anywhere I've ever lived. Even for $1M+ budgets in a place like Las Vegas, Portland, or Los Angeles, you're going to have the garage in front like every other house. You simply cannot find that big of lots that each house would randomly have a garage to the side, how would that even work in a neighborhood?! You'd have side alleys all over the place. It doesn't make any sense design-wise whatsoever. Maybe out in the country, sure, but then you're going to live in a lame small town with probably lame architecture and a cheap house.
I agree a house shouldn't appear all garage when you look at it, that's an ugly look if all you see approaching is a giant garage, but I've borderline never seen a house where the garage wasn't in front of the house. Even my dad's 20,000 square foot house has a three-car garage on one edge of the house, left side if you were facing the front door. It would waste valuable property to have to drive around the back of the house, which is where the pool should be.
Well, they aren't numbered, so it's hard to rank. But I think most of them are ugly McMansions.
They all look like they might be the headquarters for crooked non-profit charities. Totally sterile------not at all livable environments, especially not for children. What a wasted life that would be, to aspire to someday own a place like those.
